Woah...

:lol:
I don't think Gudds/Struijk have been poor this season, defensively. Maybe our two best defenders.

Stach was up there too
but a slight minus on their goal.

Why is Haaland not playing? Rest or injury?

He doesn't get loads of chances, but has missed a few Chapel.

He's more isolated when he's played alone up top.

Farke could change it up with a few subs.

Wonderful cross from Stach. If only DCL hit it a little sooner.

Docked him half a point, but Struijk outstanding with good headed clearances, tackles and interceptions. But his passing out has been top quality, think I'm the only one to mention the out ball to DCL for his second chance


Great pass from Stach to DCL and the shot is blocked ..

This is football and the impact of using wealth/every top tier law firm to obscure years of cheating the system in terms of finances.... Just my two penneth mind 😅

Let's have these b**tards second half 👌

I would put Nmecha on soon. Possibly our best finisher at the moment...

What is it with Guds and his final touch.... that one was basically a drop goal

Good Day All!

Not the way we wanted to end the half!! We squandered several good chances. I have a house full of Greeks visiting so I'm unfortunately preoccupied. I'm always shocked at the number of Europeans that don't give a crap about football! Anyway, here's hoping we can level the match and go for the win. :crossed:

Whatever we do Stach must play as close to 90 as he can.. Nmecha for Aaronson seems logical
