Most of us thought this was a too defensive lineup but it has ended well.
When you consider the criticism of Sterling, Kane and, to some extent, Pickford they have all contributed today.
In fact, Sterling has been exceptional even though he must feel very grateful to Muller for that miss today.
Pickford, 4 clean sheets thanks to some superb saves, excellent distribution and command of his area.
Kane, well I knew he would score today.
Finally, the introduction of Grealish, who most of us would have wanted as a starter was crucial to the final result.
