Going to be extremely tough now.

Expect us to have plenty of possession as they will be happy to sit on this and know they'll get chances as the game goes on.

We really need to try and create something n not resort to pot shots too early.
 
Their set up again makes it look like they're playing with an extra midfielder, extra defender when we attack, and extra attacker when they attack.

The Lukaku song gets an outing followed by "we'll sing what we want"

I just think he could have parried that away from the danger area. It's not a howler by any means, but he could have done better for me.

You don't think Young being allowed complete freedom to cross the ball, and Lukaku complete freedom to head it played any part then? It was point blank, Fraser had no time to think where he was going to parry it.

Completely agree. Perhaps Tom could see a doctor about that jerking knee of his.

But he trains to do exactly that - parry the ball away from the danger area. So he shouldn't have to think - it should come instinctively. I think Fraser and Hoedt are equally at fault.
 
Their ball retention is so good, then when we get it, they set up shop deep in their own half - do we have the quality to break them down? Not sure.
