Lush Vlad

Bruno with that lazy, tame as fuck shot at the end that was never on. All off the back of Tonali’s 50 odd yard lung buster. Then just trots back. Tonali puts in a 30-40 yard sprint to win it back for him

Sandro ‘Three Lungs’ Tonali superb again. Unsure on MOTM? CB’s were good and aggressive. Won most their battles. Isak class as always. Dubravka was good after being glued to the spot a couple of times. Some of the star boys were sloppy a lot of the game It felt like there was another gear there if we needed it. Seemed like we were attempting to manage the game and our legs. A bit like the Man U, Spurs and Arsenal games. We always look bad once we make subs. So I get why Howe is reluctant to do it. But then if those players never get minutes. How are they going to find any form?

Has anyone checked if he has a 3rd lung?

I know it helps with his pace. But I wish Willock would stop playing in roller blades this season.

Hell of a save. Got stick for those close range ones last season. Done really well to close the gap and the angle.

What a save that is!

Ah well. Fuck em

Joelinton on the ball, again. Gifting them that corner. Shite defending from it and all.

Looked well on once they zoomed out. First angle looked a good bit off.

Keep gifting them chances with our shit passing. Get the subs on.

Shame Barnes is injured. Not been Gordon’s night at all.

Jose Sa has watched tape on Murphy’s early crosses just gathers it no bother every time.

Probably not the best idea to leave the world’s most in form bagsman unmarked on the penalty spot Barely celebrated as I just assumed he must be off he was so open. The new CB, who has played well. Playing him in by a mile.

Pretty good. Some frustrating attacking play. But could have scored more. Although the goal was lucky Keeping them well interested with some of the defending, mind. Get a second and we’ll score more, I reckon.

Good job Isak was there. Dubs rooted to the spot as per.

Yep. Shame he struggles with where he’s aiming it

Good in their half for the most part. Some brainless play at times. Few shite bits of defending keeping them interested. Get a second and we’ll pump these

Ref playing Rugby length advantages now FFS

He even scores shit goals

Fuck me. You can tell they have a lot of Portuguese in their team with all the diving

A lot of these chances are offside. They’ve got a good line. But we should probably think about looking across it now and then.

Stop diving please Bruno. Stop running down blind alleys please Gordon.

That final ball is on. Just rushing/over-hitting it. Don’t think we’ve been bad. They’re always pretty good on the ball and fluid with their movement. We’ll get chances because of it.

Is it me. Or is this ref always in the way?

Joelinton’s ability on the ball is a bit frustrating in games like this. Of course he makes up for it in other ways.
