OK, I’ve now listened to Fabi’s post match interview, and he doesn’t think this was one to change his tactics for. Just that we should have executed the high line better. :shrug:
I’d like a bit more tactical flexibility but again it could just be that the team is not familiar enough with his...
Indeed, but given they were, in both instances. No doubt he’ll learn from it, but we are taking enough risks as it is, no need to give away cheap penalties as well.
Haven’t read or posted in the match thread so apologies if this point has been made to death but Palmer’s first goal looked a certainty as soon as Dunk decided he’d rather retreat to our goal and attempt a goal line clearance than keep marking his man. Palmer was given so much space (and time...

Edit: Conceded at 60', three minutes after the second sending off. Yalcouye subbed off at 62'. Quite the first start for the lad.
Yalcouye (and Scherpen) starting tonight for Sturm Graz, against Austria Wien, seemingly as a no. 10...
