At the start of both halves, Matip really struggled against Watkins. He seemed to lose every duel against him. Once Matip got himself back on top, we got back on top.

 

Konate is back training from today. I assume Friday might come a bit quickly for him, I don’t think there is any doubt he is first choice alongside VVD now. 

I would say Van Dijk also struggled a bit in stages too. The lack of midfield cover against quick opposition is a problem more than anything. Fabinho and Hendo were both good for about an hour,when Hendo faded,and lack of 'legs' affects our CBs more than anybody.

Strong attacking performance, should be more than enough to blow 95% of the piss ant teams in this league clean out of the water. 
 

Real Madrid are significantly more likely to notice we can’t defend, but we’ll be cooking by February.
