haha - he most certainly did ! He almost gave away a goal in the first half too with a very careless pass however you also forgot his fine assist.Lucas
Solid performance from him. Dealt well with any potential threats. Thought he was unlucky to pick up a yellow. While it was never a penalty, he never went looking for it.

I was also torn between Lallana and Can and we could, but for one inch of woodwork, have had two worldie goals in that first half, but in the end Can's goal is the difference for me and I have to follow the crowd.
Can
Lallana
Ming
Matip had an excellent game too.
Two decent saves (low down right and the tip-over) but what was impressive was that he came for a lot of crosses, taking them with the minimum of fuss, and thereby took all the pressure off of the defence. That was a major improvement and hopefully a massive confidence booster for him.Did he go looking for it? I honestly didn't see that.
Ming was indeed solid but i dont remember any stand-out moments from him. I thought all he had to deal with was pretty much what I would expect from any keeper at that level.

He went down, had a cheeky look at the ref, saw he wasn't going to get it, bounced back up and tried to look as if he wasn't claiming for it. I think that's even what he might have said to the ref. The ref was correct, he went down and looked straight at the ref, that is looking for it in my opinion.
