Gio's performance really shows the way forward in terms of game management for us. What we can't do when sitting on leads is give up the ball and concede the midfield. Part of what made our game management so good today was having Gio as an outlet to retain possession.

What drove me crazy about West Ham was we didn't even bother trying to keep hold of the ball and just bombed it long. We are much better at seeing matches out when we keep the ball and pass it around the opposition.

It won't always be Gio coming on, but his performance today is an example of how we should be seeing games out.
 
That was a tough game. Our boys battled, bruised, and ground out a massive 3 points! For those saying we didn’t play well, that’s how Burnley approached the game. They didn’t let us play and they knew we are in our heads as far as defending and launched those balls every chance they got. They also played like a bunch of thugs! Until Lamela came on, we were taking beating, Lamela was the only one dishing it out when he came on.
