Esti was unjustly criticised after the first half, where I think he was one of our better players.

I think it's safe to say that everyone wants to see more of what he can do after tonight's performance. Has some good pace, and isn't afraid to take on players and even shoot.

Very cool finish :tup:

Needs to work on his end product, perhaps a little less hesitant to have a crack, but im sure that will come with confidence.

Was so annoyed by him from the beginning, thought he was shit and the only thing he did was put crosses in. 2nd half he showed more and was great.

And it was only his first start for us. This guy needs to get some more playing time as a sub and maybe he can get into the starting eleven.
The starting eleven, barring unfortunate injuries, is pretty much set. This guy has to get the nod ahead of Giach every time though.

I actually thought he was the only 'real' threat of going forward in that forgettable first half. I also liked how he managed to keep close to Lavezzi at times. And again, that cool finish...

Who were the people moaning for him to come off at half time?
Not sure why, he was acting as a wing back quite a lot of the time and preventing Maggio from doing anything the entire game. Kept him quiet, and put him under a lot of pressure (I think he might have received a yellow card). Nicely taken goal, and he showed some very classy flicks and neat touches in the second half as the team came alive. Hard work + talent are a good combination.
