Decent half, 2 good goals, and defended well. A little fortune they didn't score from that one that hit the post.
Good stuff. I move Matty Fernandes - so positive. We’re not cocking about too much at the back either. Anthony Taylor with a dreadful half for him though. I’ll never know how their shot didn’t go in mind you.
Right, so, one of the worst refereeing performances I have seen in recent memory aside (he hates Hirsute Dibling with a passion). Aribo and KWP brilliant. Everyone else very good. Can we survive with eleven on the pitch?
We look so dangerous when we attack and put in crosses but we look fragile when we try to find an outball and hopelessly hoof it to Archer or suicidal balls into midfield. Definitely a good first half and one where Onachu could be useful late one.
We also hit the bar and had one go between the keeper's legs and stay out. On chances, we could be 3-1 up easy.
Great half, we mustn't mess it up 2nd half. Need to come out alert and on it and keep it tight from the moment that whistle blows.
We have done well in spells but have struggled to break their attacks down on too many occasions allowing them to recycle the ball into the box too easily. Two really nice goals but the game is a long way from being over, especially as they scored two at Arsenal when 2 down at HT. I hope RM doesn’t go ultra defensive too soon because if we can get back on top we can certainly hurt them more.
