Looked fit, sharp and fast. Wonderful to see.

[Albion] Estupinan on at half-time

The Ferdi who looked out on his feet after half an hour, jogging back after losing the ball, that Ferdi?
Right back eventually. But the most important thing to him is that he understands we've signed him because he's good and not because he had a good World Cup... right now he looks like he's carrying a massive bout of imposter syndrome where he appears to be insecure if he can play football at this level. Almost giving Ipswich the victory in his first sub appearance and then letting in four last week in his first start... I think its taken a toll, because he looked afraid today.
But in time I think he'll be fine and just needs some time learning the league and learning a thing or two from Veltman. For now he's a bit of a liability though.
Me. And I absolutely did NOT say "Well that's going to make f*** all difference" to all and sundry. Definitely not.

Agreed you could see that for the second goal…..Mitoma drifted inside and took two defenders with him….opened up the space for Pervis to receive the ball on the wing who then slipped it through to Mitoma who then supplied the pass for George to tuck it away with a good finish
Funny how people see the game differently, i thought he was one of our best players in a truly awful first half

Having a left-footed LB really seems to suits Mitoma better I'd say because Pervis can overlap him whereas Ferdi is more likely to cut inside (being right-footed).
Not me. I really didn’t have a clue how we could, or how we were, going to improve. Glad Hürzeler did !

Yeah, i wqs against it (emotionally) at the time.
But my rational self said, Baleba id more likely to chuck this win away than see out the game.
It was a good call.

He’s only been a Spurs fan a few months then?
Thought he was terrible, called the sub.
Completely clueless positionally and was really lazy tracking back…
Edit - one superbly weighted through ball though.
Well Moder is faster I think, BUT Pervis is getting his speed and confidence back after his injury lay off - he played very well.
Is it PotG?

Of an age where moments like this are quickly forgotten...and he was with me for this one too.
Yes, was surprised Hinshelwood wasn’t moved there, because he was having another stinker in midfield, and just looks too light and ill disciplined.

I couldn’t make it today but watched on tv and I thought that Ferdi was really poor but only my opinion.The half time introduction of PE really made a big difference from what I could see

lol no way did that change the direction of the game. That was the two Spurs centre-backs doing consecutive comedy air shots to gift Minteh a goal. But yet Pervis managed an entire half of football without a technical error trying to trap or pass a ball. Another remarkable event on a remarkable afternoon
When going forward FK gives me the Caldy vibes. All swashbuckling runs and deft touches. Defensively he is more like Guy Butters pre-Mark Mghee. His recovery runs could be interupted for a fag break and he is nowhere near strong enough in a 50/50. It was the same at Chelsea, lost a 50/50 to Chelsea hard man Jaydon Sancho and the goal where Verbruggem gave the ball away, he looked for the outlet to his right back only to spot him wheezing on the half way line and tried a more difficult pass than should have been necessary.
There was a lot wrong in the first half and it is unfair to single out one player (even if I just did). I think he is going to be great, but right now he needs to work on his stamina and strength.

Baleba looked like had a strain, he was limping early in the second half, he was then really ‘sucking it up’ and doubled over when he came off…

Always. We're always shit without him.
No coincidence
