I thought we looked much more like our old selves there yesterday, although we didn't create swathes of clear cut chances we did knock the ball about and clearly looked the better side IMO.
Manquillo had a good game considering he was up against a tricky opponent in Montero and I thought the midfield played well too, Coutinho in particular stood out.
As I say it wasn't a vintage performance by any means but in terms of style that was the closest we've come this season to replicating last seasons form.
Nice to see Balotelli scoring (hopefully that will help his confidence a bit) and nice to see us not throwing the towel in even though we were one nil down with only ten minutes to go, when you've been on the type of run we've been on it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking everything (especially losing) is inevitable.
Congrats to the players, that was much more like it.
