Massive point! We matched them and gave it a good go. Just need that bit more quality in the final third. Roefs is unbelievable Alderete and Mukiele for £19m is mental! Geertruida with a CM shift on his debut, RLB reckons his best position is CB. His versatility will be vital Brobbey, not enough to judge him on as we were under the cosh, he will need time to get fit and used to our system
Great point that, they turned it up a notch second half mind but we managed to keep the all important clean sheet. Defensively we have been really solid first four games. Xhaka with 17 defcons, quality.
I get, and agree, with the concerns in the final 3rd, but what’s good is it isn’t a lack of ability it’s a lack of fluidity, which will come. They aren’t linking with Diarra yet, and they aren’t quite linking with striker. Both wingers look good when they run at people but need something to happen just to give them the confidence to do it more, which again will come. I thought for all Brobbey had little chance to shine he showed he’s happy throwing his weight in there, and that will be great for us.
Talbi put another good shift in, doesnt mind doing the defensive work and seems to be striking a good partnership with Hume. Was unlucky with his blocked shot first half
Aye commentator was ridiculous ‘took an age’. You can’t hit a ball with any accuracy spinning half a foot above the knee. Was a superb block.
beat wolves at home and we'll have 10 points by oct 18th and after todays performance you wouldnt rule out points against forest, villa and united what a ride
