Actually I think he’s been very good in this second half. Rice seems to dovetail well with him.

And that.

What a fucking goal that is.

We do seem a little more urgent and zippy.

Better build-up play. Rice inspires far more confidence than Henderson and seems to give the others more freedom.

Can’t make up my mind on TAA in this position. Some nice touches, I think his positioning has been pretty good, distribution ranges from sublime to ridiculous.

Cole Palmer’s hair takes me right back to Amish Country in Ohio.

Watching Rashford every week must be incredibly frustrating

I was quite looking forward to this, but Jesus.

I hate this bullshit timewasting over the goal kicks. Sheffield United did it as well. They want to play it short, we push on to box them in and then they just stand there wasting time hoping we just…get bored and move away? Heckingbotham basically said “we weren’t wasting time, actually we wanted to play it short and they weren’t letting us.” Right. So fucking get on with it.

Think the ref’s done well in general.

It’s one of those quintessential European ref decisions where they make a very predictable guess and it’s just completely wrong.

I thought he was going to dive tbh and clearly so did the ref…but it was a penalty

I paid little or no attention to the build-up to this. Is there any particular reason why Maguire and Henderson are playing? I sort of see some logic in playing Henderson with TAA but what other CBs are available? And don’t say Lascelles.

Malta look very well-organized and competent tbh. Should be a decent test of our ability to break this down. Not a convincing start but last couple of mins have been encouraging.

Malta have looked pretty good so far too.

Fucking lol

He’s locked in now, isn’t he? He needs to find better play than he did in that last game. Expect to see him for a while tonight.

Yeah, I actually did this once in a game when I was a teenager. IIRC I partly did it to be a cocky little shit though.

Not sure this Preston striker knows that there is an offside rule.

So many teams playing good football too.

Hilariously laissez-faire performance by the ref.

Feels like most of these Friday night games have been cracking.

Good game this. Really enjoying watching the Championship this year. Although there are one or two very bad hair choices.

Nearly an absolute screamer in return.
