    If we need to defend, we can only do that by continuing to press forward, we cannot soak up pressure. letting them put balls into our box like that was suicide.

    One more league game before the window closes. Hopefully Hoedt will be in for that and Virgil still here after. One or both will have a much better time with the crosses

    Well done defence, you won the game

    I thought Jack Stephens was quality on the floor, but he can't handle the physical forwards in the air. Yoshida not much better. If we come up against any more physical sides, we may get tonked.

    We played better last week against Swansea.

    It was a typical case of taking the foot off the pedal at 2-0. Encouraged them to go long which we cannot deal with at the moment with our current defenders

    We have been good at soaking up pressure in the past. But that was with Virgil and Fonte

    I'm happy. Soon I'll be drunk and still happy. Tomorrow I can do a post mortem and it might all change, but for the moment, happy.

    Agreed. Van Dijk can deal with that stuff all day long but as a pair Yoshida and Stephens are vulnerable.

    Good.... we can score.
    Bad.... we gave them too many chances.
    Good...we may be about to collect on the luck we didn't have last season. I reckon we are owed a lot.

    Charlie austins red and white, red and white!

    Our CBs both struggled today. Stephens is brilliant on the ball and when it's on the floor, but struggles with the physical side. Same with Maya
