Tonight is a prime reason why the board are very reluctant to sack PC. They want a manager who can get results in Europe because it brings in much more revenue than winning the domestic competitions. 

So why was Gio sacked?

But we didn't score with the chances we created.

 

Our opening goal was a double deflection. 

 

Our second goal was a brilliant finish, but the defender should have cleared the ball before Diomande got a chance to score.

 

Our third goal was a short back pass which Igamane did well to latch onto and finish (credit also for Diomande for triggering the press).

 

Our forth goal, Nice gifted us the ball, and again credit for Igamane for latching onto the ball, showing a bit of skill to beat defender and score.

 

I thought we missed the chances we created and scored the goals we were gifted. Nothing wrong with that as such, just an observation which probably isn't reflected in the stats.

 

 

A gifted chance is still a chance. 

 

I'm not getting carried away with the win, though: Nice were all over the place at the back.

Can we get a SPL manager and keep Clement for Euro games. 

 

Good defending in the first 5 minutes to keep their storm out - you want to see that, good save by Butland then the centre halves throwing themselves at the ball. 

 

At first I was wondering if Diomande meant that goal but after watching over its a good finish. 

 

The best bit about Igamane's first was the way he took it around the keeper - a sublime little chip to lift it around the keeper. Then he megs the defender for the fourth. And Dessers miss at the end where it was easier to score must cement Igamane to start up front now.
