BBC - highlights of this game at 10:50 ... predicted to run until 10:54 currently ...

 

He's 'occupying defenders' again ...

 

We're playing a bit too conservative, and look laboured. We need to use the ball more liberally, reform our strategy or the Scottish nationals may be having a party, while we feel sickly green.

 

If we don't win it (eternal optimist!), they certainly deserve to ...

 

My main take from that is that women shouldn’t be allowed in pubs during important football matches.

 

We still look a bit slow at times, but that was a much much better half.

much more cohesion and were actually playing to saka’s strengths

more of the same second half, just would like to see us speed it up a bit from out of the back

 

There’s no way they’ll be this **** second half. Expecting the big Gallagher for Mainoo change on 65 to stop their inevitable momentum. Maybe Eze for Foden on 88 if he’s feeling frivolous.

 

Kane was way too slow in that half for what we are trying to do. He doesn’t press well, he’s not getting in the box when the ball is put in, he’s just floating around the pitch. He’s not winning long balls put up to him whereas Toney would be and he can hold it up for us.

Better from us but we are far too slow and
Predictable. Need to pick up the speed on the ball and movement in the final third.

 

Shout to Konsa. He’s slotted into the back 3 really well

 

Charlton Yoof init..

 

You’ve jinxed Konsa you bastards

 

Kind of game Shaqiri comes off the bench in and scores a humdinger to win it

jus sayin

 

Great strength just now to stop Embolo - who's a real handful

 

BBC extended highlights now one minute shorter than normal highlights - a welcome concession and giving some value back for your licence ...

 

Fair to say we're now under the cosh ...

 

Surprised to see Vargas going off

 

Absolutely dull as.

We're just going further backwards.

Kane at centre half there ffs.

Go forward!

 

Appreciate he’s the one you want on the end of a chance we don’t look like creating but Kane is dead weight.

 

Ridden the storm a bit, hopefully
