For all the criticism he's taken, the last two matches he has absolutely nailed it.

The subs, going to 5ATB, putting on Zimmerman for headers, all of it. The players could have done more to get the second, but from a game management and tactical perspective, we had it right where we needed.

NOBODY had a poor game today. All of the starters were tremendous. The work rate and effort level were crazy good. Well done.

Lexi just said the subs were bad. He's wrong. Zimmerman was a perfect call. Haji just needed to make better decisions, but his pressing and defending were fine. Shaq wasn't great, but if Dest was done, he was done.

edit: one last point - I'd rather have Shaq on than Yedlin. I love Yedlin, but let's be honest: in a late and close, he's a red card and/or penalty waiting to happen.
