Taking a different angle on this, I was pleased to see that the FO has now been given credit. The public seem to think that an aircraft is operated by a 'man and a boy', rather than a team. I hope Joe Public (AND the press) take this lesson. It's teamwork.

Flying to the 'angels wings' on the 777 (the maximum pitch attitude) is very difficult, and one relies on one's colleague to advise on RoD, altitude, and lateral position in relation to the runway. This was a great team job. Having flown with Pete, it doesn't surprise me that he and his colleague did so well.
