On Poldi.
I thought he was all power and humourless German efficiency. But no, seeing Poldo in the flesh, I realise that he is a much clevererer player than I gave credit for.
The way he links up with weapons grade clever Cazorla is proof of that.
Unfortunately, hopes that he would be a new freekick genius were crushed when after the match he said he only scored 2 direct freekicks in 3 years at Cologne.
