If Vurnon Anita was a pokemon his evolved form would be Henri Saivet, going by the first 10 minutes. Looks a bit better at everything by the looks of it. Edit: As I say that he gives away a dangerous free kick... Not so different then!
Lascelles nearly already costing us. Can't give it away when everyones moving up the pitch. Elliott saving our arses as always.
1 step forward, 2 steps back. We're doing what we used to do. We're leaving Mitro isolated too often. Aarons is anonymous.
Poor first half. We're going backwards again. No one supporting Mitrovic. Mitro did excellent to hold off the opposition there and no one was there to play off him!!! Come on McClaren I was just starting to like you!!
If we had a decent striker, we could win it. As it is, I think sitting back and hoping for a draw seems fair. Mitrovic is the slowest moving species of all time. **** me, through 1vs1 with a defender, and he can do nothing because he hasn't any skill or pace to take them on. Guaranteed there will be people who rave about his performance as well!!! The pitch isn't conducive to great football, so we need to be better in direct play, and the fullbacks need to start defending at some point.

Once Mitrovic gets possession outside the D, he ought to hold it up for Gini, Moussa or Rolando but because they're too deep he resorts to running at the defense as if he was Ben Arfa. We need to use our noggins in the second half.
