    The commentator on the coverage I watched kept saying that he didn't know much about how it ended up in the goal, which was a huge disservice to how good the finish was. You can clearly see him dig out the shot to ease it past the keeper. Brilliant goal.
  2. Thought he was outstanding all game. His speed of thought in the tightest of spots is unreal.
  3. Just watching now and thought the same. That said, he looked relatively blindsided. In other news, that Tavares had some wild efforts on goal
  4. It's one of those instance whereby VAR will just back whatever the on-field decision is. Personally, if that was against us I'd be arguing it's a pen. I don't really see any excessive, un-natural movement from Awoniyi to manoeuvre a penalty. Not to mention the Awoniyi looks an absolute lump who probably isn't deft enough to play for one
  5. Ando calling Schar's goal "a simple finish". It was an incredibly controlled finish under pressure, put in the bottom corner with precision. Anything but simple
  6. I thought he had an utterly thankless task all game today and made a nuisance of himself on the limited occasions the ball was near him. Quite surprised at the comments.
  7. Funny I thought he was the only player that started for them that did their job effectively. Thought he had a good game.
  8. Is it really a reality check? There's pretty unanimous acknowledgement from the club be it commercial, operational, on field and all in between that we massively over achieved last season.

    I genuinely think he's quite crucial to the potency of our attack. His fast line breaking passes often take several players out of the game, giving us way more space to exploit. We're much more middling without him.

    From the clips I'd seem prior to his signing, my interpretation was relatively the opposite in that he'd be more effect against the low block due to his tendency to play one-two passes and make direct runs into the box, something I feel would be more successful than a player that tries to dribble through the opposition, as they'll be overcome by the numbers. ASM, for example, sadly isn't overly suited to the play style of a team such as ours that likes to sit a lot higher up the pitch, and therefore has significantly less space in front of them to exploit. Barnes needs to get to know his team mates to build an understanding, after which I think he'll be very productive.
  11. Whilst we're chucking out faves, he might not have been the most prolific or with us all that long, but I loved an in form Big Dunc.
  12. It's a journey and people want to enjoy the ride. The greater expectation will come but for now it's a case of enjoying the novelty for most.
  13. I thought he was pretty fine today but for getting caught on the ball once. He didn't stand out as Tonali did, but was by no means poor.

    It's almost like we actually target players that are suited to the way we play
