I think Dragusin looks good when he's acting purely as a defender in a balanced team, but that's not how we play.
His passing hasn't worked well when we're under pressure and we'll always be put in that position with Angeball.
Some of the better passers out there have been terrible today though, so I don't mean this performance specifically.

Why was he signed if he doesn’t fit the system?

Really dodgy performances so far. We seem to be even more erratic than usual in the europa.
The defence has been dreadful, but the lack of control in midfield has played a massive part in the pressure the defence has been under, IMO.

Difficult to claw this one back now, but if we can somehow manage to get hold of the game, we could potentially get a draw out of it…however, I can easily see it going the other way and us conceding 5.
 
I don't want to be too critical of the youngster, but Lankshear's got to do better for their first goal.
I really hate it when players turn their back on an opposition shot and it's something for him to learn not to do.

Was going to say the same. Show some strength and face out the challenge. He stopped 2 yards short and that probably made the difference.

He's not played a lot of games in it, so maybe I'm judging him a little early?
Doesn't look comfortable playing out from the back when pressed though, in my opinion.
Still only 22. Doesn't look it! <laugh>

Yeah he’s young and playing now and then makes it hard to get into a rhythm. I’m not writing him off but so far I’ve not seen anything special from him.

22 is young for a defender but the fee says he should be better than what we’ve seen imo

Out of all our games since Brighton this is the one to lose.

We are desperately short of players at the moment and the international break has come at a good time for us in that regard.


We can still get back into this but think we've given them too much confidence and too big a lead.

But if we get another goal it could be on!

Half-time analysis: Stop playing bad, yeah? <doh>
People get paid good money for that ****.

Bentancur and Kulusevski replace Johnson and Son.
Bergvall out to the left or something?
