Glad the youngsters got a chance, they did well. Findlay was impressive, didn't put a foot wrong. Barlaser had some good moments, a great ball to play Ritchie in who tried to lob the keeper, who seemed to handle it outside his box which would have been a second yellow. El Mahnni wasn't afraid to run at people, still raw but the potential is there.
Gouffran was decent as the main striker as well. Took his goal very well and won the pen. Shelvey aside though Ritchie was probably the next best, unlucky not to have got a hattrick, with the keeper handling his lob (not seen it again but looked out his area where I was sitting) and that s*** that hit the post.
Sels looked dodgy again. Too hesitate, there were a couple of balls in that Darlow would have come and comfortably took but Sels chose not to. Wasn't as flappy as usual though but still had the one. Just seems alround nervy. Good to see Elliot back on the bench. Darlow has earnt the spot but Elliot is at least competent back up to have in the squad every week. Time to let Sels go now, especially with Ajax thinking about sending Krul back.
The lad's had half a season, and he hasn't been playing for the past few months. I'm not debating whether Darlow has earned the opportunity right now, but to suggest we have to move on from Sels already is ridiculous, considering the two players you're advocating for over him looked worse for their first year with us.
