If it wasn't for Ben's impression of Billy the Fish with those second half saves Thomas would have been man of the match for me. I understand the frustration about crosses leading to corners not shots, but three things:
1..They're only going to lead to shots/goals if we have forwards attacking the spaces ready to match onto them. And that is still the missing piece in our attacking jigsaw.
2. He's clearly under orders to get the ball into the corner and get either a low cross or get it blocked for a corner..which he carried out today as most days to perfection.
3.. our winning goal came from a right sided corner, which I cant remember if he won but I do think he flicks on at the near post (one asset that never gets remarked on of Thomas's; his heading ability). So the instructions turn out to be pretty soundly justified.
I'd have him in my first XI every week and definitely see him as at least a squad player going forward.
