Who else had that change, and that change alone, as the key to change the direction of the game?

[Albion] Estupinan on at half-time

Not me. I thought Ferdi was looking very good so surprised to see him withdrawn.
Hopefully his return to form means we can switch Ferdi to the right and Joel can provide some much needed CB cover

Excellent when he came on. Hopefully the start of him getting back to where he was pre injury.
Sort of, yes - I was thinking, had we really spent a lot of money to get in a LB who wasn't as good as the one we already had?.............and thinking yes, we probably had! Mind you, I've had similar thoughts about most of our £200M quidsworth of new players based on their performances so far! Yes, I know, early days and all that.
I still live in hope.

Worthy of mention is how much solidity Veltman offered in defence
Not me, I was disappointed Kadioglu went off!
If nothing else though, it seemed to inspire Mitoma second half though who had his best half for ages and pretty much changed the game single handedly. If having Pervis behind him will bring out that sort of performance from Mitoma, Estupinan has to start every game.

It also helps the Pervis is the fastest player in the squad

We all looked at each other and shrugged.
Felt Kadioglu had been poor defensively, but didn't expect Pervis to improve anything.

thought Kad (whatever his name is) was working well with Mitoma in first half. Was surprised to see Baleba subbed.

Not sure that's true.
Seem to recall Baleba and Moder have been clocked as the quickest.

Were we watching the same game? They got past him time and time again in the first half.

I thought Mitoma was also very good in the first half - Welbeck will still be wondering how he didn't score a brace today.

We called the change at half time. Ferdi bottled a few challenges and was a
bit off it defensively. His link up was okay with Mitoma but I actually think Pervis is a better foil as he overlaps more sparingly.

I agree he looked very good - only not as a defender

For me an inform Pervis is a big part of Mitoma’s threat. The interplay between the two of them is a thing of beauty.
