    Pretty good first half that. Some of our attacking play is still a bit slow at times but that was better.

    Need to do it more directly though, there’s still a bit too much faffing around. Great to see Virgil bringing it forward, they really don’t like that!

    Our centre mids have obviously been asked to drive forward with the ball and play it into a forward, then look for the one-two. Excellent.

    Not an exciting half; not unexpected given the quality of both teams. We were the better - just, but nothing to shout about.

    Sounds like a good first half. Let's take it into the second and get that all important goal! Sounding positive!

    Put VVD upfront and just launch balls into the box, he'd cause mayhem in that wind and rain.

    Really enjoyed that. Much more like how possession football should be played. Creating a decent number of chances considering how the opposition is playing. Just need that bit of luck.

    Seems pretty obvious we'll score 2 early goals in the second half and then pummel their goalmouth for another 35 minutes giving us all time to relax and swoon over our attacking prowess

    Funny how 2 people can see 2 different things, you really enjoyed it, but yet I was close to changing channels due to boredom of watching us.
