Very pleasing performance, annoyingly precarious scoreline

What a turnaround Markovic has made. Always had faith in him though.


Bit worried about Borini's booking, I trust Coutinho to calm down on a yellow, but Borini can still be tempted to make a silly challenge I think

Times like these I wonder what Brendan is telling the team at half time. The most dangerous thing you can probably say is "keep up the good work" because you know there's no way in hell the opposition come back out in the same sorry state.
 
Borini is one of those players whose intensity makes them worse, rather than better. Needs to calm down sometimes, in all aspects. When the ball is coming towards him, when lining up a finish, when tackling, when reacting to officiating calls.


Still can't get over how natural Markovic looks at wingback

Should have won a penalty, scored a goal, hit the bar with a thunderbastard, and looks decent enough at the back without being tested too much.

Wonder if we'll tweak our tactics to deal with the inevitable Sunderland change. There's no way they play the same way in the second half as they did in the first.

Thought Owen just said that Markovic has proved why he was "born", which is a bit metaphysical for this time of day.

Thought it was harsh. Can knew he'd overhit the ball (think it was Wes Brown who was coming across to clear it) and went down.
