Can do a job
People are saying how well he played today but he only had a fraction of the work that Matty had to do against Arsenal, for example. The spillage was telling though, and I feel the crucial low save he made that went for a corner would probably have been held by Matty. I think it was too dangerous when he came out of his penalty area late on, and I'm pretty sure that Matty wouldn't have risked it.
Looked like a very difficult take....zipped across and bounced just in front of him. Apart from that he looked very sound. As others have said he's got a great range of kicking too.I'd like to see the moment it slipped out of his hands and we had to defend for sheer life in the first half again as I really couldn't quite see who was at fault from the WSU. As for the rest, he was excellent and kept a justified clean sheet with a performance that'll have Aussie Mat looking over his shoulder.
Did you miss the other bit you actually quoted, i.e. Steele's mettle?Yes, he zipped about the box nicely, knitted the back four together on occasions, and was the lynch pin of our defence. I was feeling a bit crochetty before the game but thanks to Button, I left with a pocket full of joy.
So the coaching team and CH were right? He's a capable deputyThought he did well, certainly had his fair share of saves and did well with them. Excellent kicking and distribution too

Wow. Who'd have thunk it.

His kicking was good getting great distance but the one thing I did notice is that he only kicks with his right foot as opposed to Ryan who can use either foot so perhaps this something the defenders must bare in mind when passing back to him to clear.
He was OK today, but did Button need a thread?
