Somebody may have mentioned it but I've noticed us being better with Ward at left back a couple of times. The reason seems to be he has better defensive qualities. Then, when he goes forward he's not trying to cross as he's on his weaker foot, so he plays a simple ball - either inside to Eze or Schlupp, or lays the ball off to Zaha. He then supports or goes back to defend in transition better than Mitchell. In that way he plays more to his strengths and the better ball players get the ball quicker. I've thought for a while that bombing down the wing is a bit much for Mitchell and all the running is tiring him out. He gets caught out, particularly late in games - hence our propensity to lose or draw from winning positions. Add in that Ward isn't going as far forward on the right, and Clyne tends to generally support or defend, we're more solid at the back with Ward and Clyne playing.
It's a funny one as you'd expect us to be better with a natural left footed full back. Just an observation I've made for a while now.

Apparently we are indebted to the ideas of goalkeeper coach Dean Kiely, capitalising on the amount of space left by Bournemouth’s corner set-up with two simple moves leading to goals.

Congratulations to him for working out the plans and to the players for carrying them out successfully.
Was surprised to hear the commentator on MoTD referring to "Ezzer" scoring the second. Has he changed his name?

Evidently he was asked how his name is pronounced and he said "Ezzer".

Thought I would never say this, but it was actually good to have Mariner back as ref. Some of the newer ones are not up for PL. Good too, to see Hughes and Mateta doing well when they came. Edouard however, hardly did anything right.
