If Hesketh keeps up what he has shown here then Tadic and Boufal better start worrying... what an unbelievable half from the lad. The through balls he has put through have been pin point and he should be on three assists if Long, Austin and Martina's finishing were that slight bit better.

clasie, well....is he ever going to arrive?

pretty bland form him

 

Was thinking the same just now. Had high expectations but he's not really grown, asserted himself on games or done anything but make Steve Davis look more accomplished and hard working. Like the look of Hjoberg though.

We are playing well tonight and should be out of sight. The midfield of JWP, Classie and Reed looking functional. Reed doesn't look out of place in that company.

 

Hesketh on the evidence of that 45 minutes could be our answer at #10. Not sure about Iniesta, but the way the ball sticks to his feet is reminiscent of Lallana.

 

If Long could finish he wouldn't be playing for us, to be fair he creates chances others couldn't to waste.

 

Austin could have bagged the match ball by now.

Looking at the replays, I can see why Long scuffed the sitter just before half time. As he goes around the keeper the ball slows up and by the time he shoots the ball is slightly under his feet rather than in front of him, so he's unable to get any power behind it. If he'd pushed the ball around the keeper slightly harder, or wasn't running quite so fast, the timing would have been more perfect for the shot. Fine margins.
