In the first half he was on par with Llorente, both of them lost every challenge, repeatedly unable to hold the ball up or pass the ball. Llorente's performance was magnified as he was playing deeper than Kane and was one the ball, or attempting to be on the ball, more than Kane. He has one good chance in first half, think it came off the post. Slightly improved in 2nd half, obviously glad he got his goal but my Gran could have scored that and she died 10 years or so ago.
he takes hundred of those with little pricks who ought to be educated in a pre-victorian way, you can understand his frustration.
To be fair ManU did a decent job putting him off, I didn't think he managed a clean shot all game did he? Despite that he pulled them all over the place and was strong as fuck. I thought he had a good game.
His shooting was, but that aside you will be hard pushed to see a better performance of hold up play than his. He bullied Jones and Smalling and ran them into the ground, he tied both of them up and therefore created a lot of space for others. Not a complete performance due to his shoots but a true Worldclass performance in back to goal hold up play.
