    Definitely. We look weak centrally so far

    Think he misses a bit aggression. That being said, though I really think a three of Kelly, Jones and Watson is woefully soft in this game, it does present a good development challenge for the three of them. If they don’t toughen up second half we lose this game. If they don’t toughen up in general they may struggle to breakthrough into that area of the pitch. All good. I’m enjoying it for sure.

    Brilliant footwork from Crompton there!

    It’s a weird one. I spent most of the first half moaning about our soft centre. However now I’d like us to keep everything the same and see if the players can work it out. It’ll do us more good then a draw or even a win.

    He’s two and a half years older than Riggy!

    Gotta say we’ll be wasting Isidor if we only use him out wide. He’s a very good footballer.

    Isidor seems to have moved central now with Watson out on left

    Isidor been brilliant. Looks a class above the kids, which I know he should but is a good sign because some players don’t look it.

    Liverpool couldn’t stop his dribbling and he gets in lovely little pockets for 1-2s and makes some brilliant runs off the back line.

    Very impressed can’t wait to see him in the first team

    Negative for that game. Our back 4 and two deep midfielders looked to struggle. Particularly the left back and the two in midfield. Struggled with duels and got pressed very easily by Liverpool.

    I’ve turned it off now I was just watching Isidor

    Disappointed he didn’t get more of a run through the middle. Seen enough to say he’ll be good there though. Combinations, beating players, pace, trickery, holding off defenders. He should look a class above at this level. Thankfully he does.

    Better balance instantly with Cuba Mitchell into the base of midfield.

    don't have a problem with any of the lads on now, seen the 'middle' playing much better so most likely a day off for them...they really do need to get 'tougher' though if they want to make a mark.

    How did Tuterov miss that? Was honestly easier to score than miss

    Out back four is made up of centre halfs.

    I have my doubts Harrison Jones will make it with us.
