"I'm pleased Loic's scoring goals. That's his third, he's a finisher. It was a good all-round performance today.
"The two in midfield, [Stephane] Mbia and [Ji-Sung] Park - I took a gamble on Park in midfield. He has spent most of his career wide, but I played him [centrally] with Mbia and thought the two were fantastic.
"I played two wingers, two strikers and we went for it. Everybody did their jobs. We looked a good attacking force, and that's the best I've seen us going forward since I've been here."
