Dallas falls over.

Great ball from Roberts to Raph in the build up for his shot

I wonder if we would be better swapping Struijk and Llorente cos Struijk can't pick a pass here

Struijk will never make a midfielder in a million years.

He looks like a fish out of water.

Should have been the other way round - Llorente as the DM.

Commentator on Talksport is highly critical of our defensive approach and general ' gung ho ' tactics as he calls it...

Even the commentator in Holland is surprised he’s playing in midfield. He could be a good centre back or a really mediocre midfielder.
