    4-1

    Tsimkas flops then nobody really get near them.

    Easy header away messed up utterly by Stephenson for a free goal for them.

    Oops.

    Second half then

    Pesci. Not bad for a kid in goal.
    Stephenson. Functional.
    Lucky. Alright for a kid.
    Robertson. Standing aboit.
    Tsimikas. One run aside pretty lazy.
    Nyoni injured. Looked good for 15mins at cm.
    Pilling. Out of his depth. Experience.
    Joens. More indulging and just getting through it.
    Elliott. Improved. Running about up top
    Nunez. Worked ok.
    Kone Doherty. Did OK but showed why he's way behind. Really runs hard
    Danns. Working hard but no impression on 3 positions. Keep moving him about.
    Koumas. One chance.

    Interesting final sub for Laffey on. He's one to keep a half eye on for future.

    They are all just knocking it about to do as little as possible to the end

    That's the pregame show done.

    90 for Robertson at cb.
    80 for nunez.
    90 for Elliott
    80 for Jones
    55 for macallister.
    90 for the lazy Greek.

    4-1 result and time for a pie and a pint or two before the next game.

    A star is born. OK we knew Rio Ngumoha was good, we are seeing now how he could become a sensation this season. Chelsea let him go LOL, too busy looking around for more players to buy and they had this guy in their academy

    So first half

    Marmadashvilli. Not much to do.
    Frimpong. Everything at a million mph. Not much touch as a result.
    Konate. Trying to be spectacular
    Endo. Solid enough for a vertically challenged cb.
    Kerkez. Committed.
    Gravenberch pure class like start of last season.
    Szoboszlai. role suits him.
    Salah and wirtz. It's telepathic already. You can't mention each as they are now a thing. A wonder thing.
    Gakpo. Decent missed one.
    Ekitike. Bags of pace and buzzing about.

    Is Endo playing cb rather than grav?

    Sounds like Szobo being much better in that deeper role looking forward rather than in the 10 in those half spaces. Hopefully with Frimpong/Bradley energy at RB won’t miss his running in that 10 having to cover the right hand side so much either.

    Yes endo is lcb.

    Yes as I said in may when we signed wirtz, Szoboszlai is playing very well facing goal.

    Bilbao can't get out with the two when thry are on them

    Yeah Szob is very good at drifting away from his marker before a turnover and he is free to receive the ball and drive. Like it

    Be interesting to see how line up when Grav is back after Bournemouth. Most seem to think will be Szobo on the bench with Mac and Grav but do lose a bit of energy in there without him. Grav and Mac are a bit one paced. Nice problem to have and be able to rotate Mac though so isn’t worn out playing 70 games a season, especially after long trips back from S America n

    That 16 needs to be wiped out.

    There's no place to be hacking at salah like that cos you didn't like him outmuscling your team mate.

    2-1

    Dodgy offside.

    Gakpo was not off but Ekitike was.

    Ekitike off and chiesa on proving he is still not for whoever is willing to pay 10.

    Can't hate the guy, but it's like when you have to play your best mate's lad for your under 12's because his mum washes the kits.
