OTF

Let's be honest, we deserve to be in the shit the way we've been playing. If it wasn't for the defenders scoring above and beyond our position would match our quality of play and we'd already be down there. In terms of dodging relegation and slowing the rot this was a key result and point.

Bloody lovely goal.

If only we could sub on Steven Taylor to wind him up.

Schar you big fanny

There was still enough defenders to mark their forward though, and they actually won the ball with the pressing (and turned it straight over).

No marking, but it was a very good cross.

Yeah, fair call, still had a poor game though. Understandably rusty.

Schar! Carroll assist (will they take that off him as well?).

I believe Lejeune is our best defender though he's having a bit of a shocker here.

He can't do two good things in a row; a good touch is followed by a poor one, if he gets into a scoring position he scuffs the shot or takes too long to take it. His hold up play isn't terrible but mostly he seems to just slow the play down. He is not handling the pace of the league at all IMO, seems far too casual and off the pace. I wish I could say something more positive from the great many games I've watched him play but there's not much to go off apart from a few good headed assists (or potential assists).

Can you imagine being Muto watching Joelinton playing week in week out.....

Yedlin's hair is outstanding. We've perked up a little thankfully.

Absolute tosh these clowns are talking. Saying that he's been a great manager at a number of clubs, and something about his tactical acumen.

After a reasonable start (few minutes) we've completely lost the plot, shape is all over the place.
