Thank God for that...OK, didn't get the correct score, but I was so confident we'd do them comfortably
I’m liking Kipre more each game same with Egali, a confident Philo contributes much more than Hutch did, Cajuste and Mati looking assured.
Still room for improvement but I don't really care. I thought Davis was my MOTM, looked decent going forwards and pretty good defensively. Kipre really solid at the back and after the past couple of performances shouldn't be dropped. O'Shea solid defensively, but gave the ball away a fair bit at the back. It's clear to me we cant do what we did in terms of building from the back the way we did a couple of years ago. I thought Matusiwa and Cajuste were generally decent but I do have concerns tactically about how risky we are in possession, with Cajuste in the team whilst he's tenacious we're very open with him in the team because he's more attack minded, we're pretty much playing with a single pivot in midfield. It also means there is a lot of space between the lines and we seem to play a lot of long balls on the floor which are at risk of being intercepted. Whilst I love Hirst I feel the team at the moment is far less about creating chances for the forwards more about them making their own goals or putting the striker through which means we need that quality upfront in terms of finishing, not sure he's that player. Still his movement was superb and brought others into play but his touch and finishing not great. Egeli certainly got potential but looks a bit naive. Still feel we haven't really got a convincing no.10,.Szmodics buzzes around but doesnt really do a lot and cant really play with his back to goal, is at his best getting in behind but he doesnt look the quickest or strongest.
