Suspect those div 3 or 4 full backs gave Watto a bit more time to get his head up than Solly gets.
Also having a striker to hit with height and a standard of movement 3 divisions above where he was playing helped as well.
I say the above as a huge Watto fan!

I suppose everyone will say that's the exception that proves the rule but that was a very decent 45 minutes of play from our Ali.

Contract extension?

Sell.
Wasted some really good opportunities tonight. Just not quite good enough. Tau was more productive in a fraction of the time on the pitch.

I thought Ali J had an excellent game tonight. Can pick out passes that some of our other players (eg Trossard) can’t. Agonisingly close to scoring. GP clearly holds him in high esteem considering he’s played a role in quite a few of our recent games and is keeping others like Ali Mac and Jose out of the squad.
Really? Thought he was pretty average first half, I lost count of the number of times he received it in a half decent poition, stood flat footed for a second or two then passed it a long way back. He doesnt seem to have the creativity to pick a pass or make a clever run of the likes of Gross or Lallana, he doesn't have the speed of a March or Trossard to carry the ball... He has superb technique but the rest of his game just isn't good enough for that to come to the fore and never well be. Tonight was another case of why we need to get rid, these are tired end of season matches where a player like Ali J or Tau who is coming in fresh should really be able to get a grip of the games if they're worth hanging onto. I don't see that from AJ, was the same last season and nothing will change if we hang onto him.
Which is a shame because I find him very likeable, really enjoy his technique but he's just never going to cut it in the premier league with us.

Yeh, don't see that he did anything to enhance his cause tonight.
At least he wasn't wing back though

My MOM in the 1st half, looks better playing up in a front three. Think he will get more chances to play

Yeah, really. In an average game full of average performances, who else, other than goalscorer Welbeck, who otherwise had an average game, do you think outshone Ali? He was confident, inventive and attacking, and almost scored a nice goal. What else do you expect from a winger?
Tough crowd, you lot.

Yes, dunno why some think he only passed backwards, in the first half he made a few good crosses and inceptive passes. He was decent.
Still where I am.
Arguably one of our best players tonight, but at times the decision making.......

This guy has been with us for 3 seasons. A few nice moments towards the end of a dead season is not enough to change anything. Best for all parties to move on.
