Gotta say I am a fan of Tommy, could never see it when he played for opposition teams
but you watch your own players more don't you?
Very neat and tidy footballer and has a good football brain imo, and I know Buzz is getting all the plaudits and quite rightly so today. But just wanted to give Tommy a bit of praise for starting the breakaway and then getting on the end of it with a stunning strike.
As a previous manager might say "Wonderful goal,...I say"
That was a great strike and it came at such a crucial time in the match! With all of the rumours of new signings I was hoping some of these guys would have a good game to impress the new gaffer and that's exactly what happened!
To be honest, about five minutes before he scored I did ask what had he done all season apart from the everton goal. Had thought he'd been quite ordinary, Shut me up for a while. Wasn't till I watched last night I realised he took it from our penalty box, I can't even run that far these days let alone a 30yd screamer.
I have questioned why MH seems to keep using him as sub as he's usually so ineffective and generally a negative player who never wants to take people on. I think it's clear from his cameo yesterday tha Hughes has told him to be more assertive and direct / attack minded. Not just the goal, but the break in the first place, plus the head up and quick ball to HH moments earlier (when hit hit that cracking effort) it was a pleasant surprise. In the past he'd have slowed the game down, drifted slowly up the wing the stopped when approached by a defender before passingf back to Hill, who'd normally cross into the stand.
