Sands, his aggressive ball winning defending, reading of the game and anticipation was superb.

 

Going to keep saying it this boy is never a midfielder. Centre back all day long..

Even if he IS considered a midfielder, I suspect that he is going to get much more game time at CB than he would in midfield.  Not only that, but he loves making vertical passes through the lines.  Passes like a midfielder but can actually defend like a CB.  And surprisingly good in the air defensively.  I think that CB position is his to lose now, even when Davies/Souttar/Helander are fit again.

When i watch him in midfield he reminds me of Bert Konterman wandering about playing square easy passes because thats all he can do. When he plays at centre back he does not remind me of Bert Konterman in any way what so ever. I often hear people say about him 'he does well at centre back for a midfielder'. It was that sausage Ronnie Deila that played him in midfield IIRC. Was a centre back before that and has played only at CB for the USNMT (i think).

 I actually voted for Goldson. Was just as solid as Sanda. Tillman was excellent too

To be fair, was hard to split them - Goldson was colossal the last half hour when PSV were throwing the ball into the box at every attempt

I've voted for Kamara.  Plenty of good performances but I thought he was back to his best last night.

Sands for me and the 3rd game in a row I've voted him.

At the time I thought he was a yard off but looks like Tav played him on.

Thanks Great save either way but so much more important with it being on

Absolutely tremendous that last half hr.

Went for Kamara thought he was very effective last night considering how poor his form has been so far this season.
