Players definitely seem to be enjoying and expressing themselves more. Boufal made a LOT of mistakes in the second half, but brillantly kept his chin up, and importantly kept tracking back to help Bertrand. Must start every week.
Keep Austin in. Even if he only plays the first 60 minutes, better to play him from the start while his confidence is up. Too much over-thinking going on here- confident players more likely to play well.
Too many reading the club formation graphic and assuming that’s exactly how we’ll line up. Pretty certain long and gabbi will both be up top. Bold move. Deserves to be given a chance.
We've played the same two teams as United in our first two games and only have 2 fewer points than them. And yet THEY are being talked of as title favourites. Media bias.
Just seen that it's Kevin Davies birthday, and the club are showing his goal v Everton away. But which was the better goal, that one or Chris Marsden v Ipswich?
No commets at all as yet on Stephens' magnificent piece of defending at 2-2, when left 2 on 1, showing the striker on to his left, blocking off the pass before making a great challenge? That was mature defending at its best.
If we were a top 6 club there would currently be forensic analysis of just how outside the box that was and that the new rules state it's not a read. We're supposed to shut up and accept it.
I'm normally not his biggest fan but JWP was superb tonight. Played with proper guts and determination. Special mention to Yoshi who barely seemed to put a foot wrong.
Think the plan had been to get j rod in behind their defence as they played a crazy high line that perhaps Charlie wouldn't have been able to exploit. It nearly worked, but for some extreme (and still understandable) rustiness from poor Jay.
