loki679 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hayden and Longstaff deserve to keep their places no matter who else is fit based on their current form. Very impressive from both of them today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's almost like an actual no 10 would make a drastic difference to how a team performs, there's a reason why Rafa has been desperate for one since day 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps that it's a no 10 who is lighting fast. Gives us the sort of threat on the counter we had for a while with Kenedy last season. The front three is about as good an attack you could get on that sort of budget. Outstanding value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I’d have said Almirón was MOM, but their goalkeeper could easily have been MOM, and arguably was. How he saved that shot from Kenedy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just watched 10 minutes of highlights, we should have won by 6 or 7 we were so good with the chances created, Almiron involved in nearly all of it and Longstaff is just brilliant.

frankpingel Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just great to enjoy the second half after we'd scored so early. Watching each and every move develop with a chance to score further goals constantly. Not enjoyed a match so much for too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Rafa has somehow created a system that is just getting the best out of these players. The passing from Lejeune was first class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Rafa has somehow created a system that is just getting the best out of these players. The passing from Lejeune was first class. 3 centre backs has been really good, but the system having two attacking midfielders in Perez and Almiron causing some many problems, movement and pace is mint.

ujpest doza Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's daft after comfortably winning and keeping a clean sheet, but it's really disappointing that we didn't win that game by at least 6 nil. Some good saves but also some poor finishing. Against better teams we can't be as wasteful and have to take all of the chances we create. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We've had so many bad days in the past and probably numerous more in the future, I'm not sure today's game is one to try and pick negatives out of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hit the woodwork 4 times, just unlucky it wasnt a rout. Did what was needed against a team that have nothing to play for but pride 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thought they looked better once they were down to 10. Couple of times we were able to rip them apart on the break before the red card. Played some fantastic football in the first half. Good result. Good performance too. Been a while since I’ve been able to say that about a game where we’ve been on the front foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 They must have had about 90% possession after 5 minutes, felt like every time we touched the ball we were kicking it out for a throw in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hadn't appreciated how well we played it out the back for Almiron's chance. Credit to Hayden and Lascelles for starting the move off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
