bizarrely enough i thought we played better when we went down to 10, and that seemed to spark life into T'hudd and Pav as well who i would have pulled at half time, but was quality 2nd half

Really good performance after the weekends shambles. Disappointed with VDV despite a good show. A man of his experience should know better. I expect a cooler head from him. I knew he was going to get sent off and I am sure it came across Harry's head too. I would have taken him off earlier but hindsight is a fantastic thing hey.

Total crap.
We, including Pavlyuchenko, looked far more positive and purposeful as soon as the second half began.
I hope not, because it wasn't on the same planet.

Pav did really well but that Berb performance was utterly sublime. Gary Speed after all his years in the game wanted to swap shirts cos he said it was the best he had ever seen

Not quite as good, but I was impressed at how he finally learnt how to stay on his feet when holding the ball up having failed on many attempts in the first half.
He was great in the 2nd half, but Crouch was also a very important player throughout the game. Let's not forget how the first goal came about.

Was a good game too watch, we played well after starting very shakily. Bale and Van Der Varrt were fantastic in the first half and although it was soft it was definiently a penalty which should have been retaken after their keeper came two yards off the line.
After the break we looked a much stronger side, with Van Der Varrt scoring a great goal and then Pavyluchenko cooly tucking away a definent penalty. You just had the feeling Van Der Varrt was getting reckless and the sending off was silly, but fortunately it didn't cost us. Pavlyuchenko tucked it away cooly again and then Bale's finish was sublime as was his workrate.
Overall it was a good performance which was soured just a little by their diving cheating prick players (asking for people to be booked as well as putting in some poor challenges), VDV stupidity and a shockingly stupid moment of petulance from Tom Huddlestone for which he should have gone.

god no, not even close to being in the same bracket as Berbatov
Midfield held onto the ball in the second half, and i still dont think Pav had a good game or can play as a lone striker.

Are we just the entertainers of the Champions League or what? Another great game tonight. Full of drama.
Gotta love how fired up VDV was aswell. Silly red card, but it's great to see that passion. I've seen Rooney sent off a few times like that but it wouldn't stop the fans loving him because he's such a great player.
Great win tonight. We got the bit of luck we've deserved of late. The work rate was excellent. COYS!

That is harsh.
I'm definitely not a member of the Pav fan club but it took real balls to stick home those 2 pens. And he set up a sitter for Modric late on.
I thought overall he had a very good game.

Thank god for that.
Ridiculously out of control adulation again for Pavlyuchenko. Two cooly taken pens but like Crouch had quite a poor game.

the third peno was pivotal. I wouldn't have fancied us at 2-1 with half an hour to go, with only 10 men, particularly the way we were defending, particularly from set pieces.
