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.
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...
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.
