Get someone else on for Gordon.

This 2nd half has really the old us in terms of tempo. Love it. Just need to improve the quality on the ball moving forward but this is the benchmark for effort.

Longstaff Got to laugh at that.

Joelinton man. Guy keeps thinking he has all the time in the world. Murphy been MOM.

Schar

Hall punched that ball through the lines so well. Such an asset to start moves.

Been far better 2nd half. Just need to ensure there’s no silly mistakes now.

Hope we get Ousla on for Gordon towards end as Gordon is near dead on his feet already and need to keep the pressure on.

6 MORE YEARS

Gordon isn’t good one on ones, fortunate to get a pen as should be finishing that.

Hall only one doing the little shuttle thing twice. Guy is so eager to keep improving and I like it.

Mostly because when he’s up top for is, it’s games like this where he’s told to chase lost causes and put pressure on. When it was England u21s, it was the side controlling the possession, getting it in the pockets and him making runs beyond, or dropping into pocket and someone like MGW / Madueke making run behind. Our play is just levels below that, as it’s more about getting turnovers high up and breaking.

Think the best we can hope for 2nd half is to get a lucky break (like that Joelinton chance) where we score, and we can get some fresh legs on to keep counter going in final 20.

Good shape for most of half, but as half wore on, we got more tired and the gaps and mistakes started to happen. Bit concerning we didn’t even create one clear chance with that energy at the start.

Not sure what our plan B is 2nd half.

Gaps now appearing loads we’ve ran out of steam.

Pope SO SHIT WITH HIS FEET

But he wins some headers.

Both CBs taken out by Gvaridol ffs

What a shit pass that was to Bruno Joelinton having another mare.

Has there still just been one shot this game?

Set up seems to be good so far. Even game, but importantly we’re not leaking clear chances and got a threat.

5-4-1 with Joelinton LB out of possession is interesting.

Changing boots How do you not do that after warming up.

Please don’t sit off like that again Trippier. Far to easy.
