Sounds like Hernandez has been causing trouble again. I love the sound of that goal. We didn't score goals like that last season, because we didn't have a striker who lives in the 6 yard box, or a big strong work horse getting the ball at the back post and playing it to said striker.
Interesting that WhoScored has the formation as a 4-3-3 with Hernandez and Pukki flanking Rhodes and McLean, Leitner and Tettey in the middle. Seems to be working well with 60% of the possession and 10 shots (5 ot) to their 4 so far. Best side and best formation, IMO.
We have been the better team first half. Good attacking intent and showing some decent penetration. A bit of a scrambled first goal, but we deserved to be in the lead. Krul gave away the penalty on Gayle. From a nothing diagonal cross which Hanley got a little out of position for. Rodriquez scores with Krul going the wrong way. Hernandez (who is full of confidence) beats Brunt in the box and gets pulled down for the Norwich penalty. Rhodes side foot easily saved. Poor penalty to be honest.
I'm only going by commentary over the past 2 games, but am I right in being a little underwhelmed by Grant Hanley so far?
