So it seems everyone hates Targett now.

 

Is he shit on the ball or is he shit at defending too?

 

Nobody hates him, but he's clearly declined whilst the team has exponentially improved at the same time.

Bit of an exaggeration. Just looks a yard slow in thought and actions, to me, and has been beaten in the air too much. He's still very tidy when he has time on the ball to pick a pass.

Neither. Just looks a yard slower and was never the quickest as more a positional defender.

He's had a really poor pre-season...his chance to remove Burn from the left back spot.

 

It's fine to criticise players not performing.

And why does Gordon always just look knackered, must be his general face 

 

I'm thinking Chris Waddle. Remember when he would bend over, hands on his knees after every run?

Great first touch, receives the ball at pace and smashes it across his body.

 

Not good at football obviously. 

 

A few absolutely gasping to give him zero credit for a superb supporting run, first touch, and finish, all done in a full sprint :lol:

Its a really minor detail that you wouldn't normally think of, but that first touch from Miggy is what made that goal, was basically perfect, really easy to over hit that.

 

Yep, the speed Miggy was running at he either did very well or had a bit of luck. Isak rolled it into his path but I'm not sure how quickly Miggy saw it coming, he could have easily kicked it out of play by accident. (Or perhaps I'm thinking too much about what I would have done. [emoji38] ) Still finished it well.

 

Gordon should have had a second.

 

Missed the first 17 minutes hunting for a source. Cheers Rich for earlier post :thup: .

TCD is not good at football analysis

Watching this. Very patchy - lots of misplaced passes and transitions.

 

Back 4 bar Targett has looked decent - Targett does look a bit heavy and slow on the turn, slower than Burn dare I say.

Midfield is ok, Tonali hasn't done much tbh. Anderson is the pick of the bunch along with Gordon and Isak.

All in all, a pre-season game :)

Tonali looked a different class against Rangers. It’ll take him a bit of time to adapt and learn our system I think. There’s no doubt he’ll become a huge part in our starting 11. Might be on the bench though for our first game.
