2 subs looks like a different 11 now.

that corner just then was ridiculous. Their defender Aarons practically wresting Veltman to the ground

 

[TottonSeagull]

Can see why Barcelona were happy to give us Fati! Ffs

 

[Littlemo]

We've looked more dangerous from corners today. I mean, it's a low bar, but still.

Who is taking the corners today?

I appreciate 'brave', 'courageous' and 'adventurous' are RDZ's watchwords - and wonderful football they have brought us - BUT there comes a time in certain circumstances and against teams playing in a particular way when playing out from the back actually does become fannying about at the back.

Like today. We can and should beat this Bournemouth side, but we can do it without drawing them on to the nth. degree. Just play 'normal' football, at the speed which we can do it, and the job's a good 'un.

 

[The Fits]

Free header.
Gotta stop that.

 

[US Seagull]

Ansu you could've walked that in. Beautiful football that.
Much better.

Really. In that position, I think I might have been able to score that one.

Of course, I wouldn't be in that position. I'd be doubled over in pain and wheezing at the half way line.

Actually, probably at the end of the tunnel.

Also another free header offered up. Got away with it. We need a 3rd.

Er... we're winning, aren't we?

 

[Bodian]

Veltman really showing what we miss when he's not on the pitch.

 

[Hendrax]

that so bloody soft. come on ref

 

[GT49er]

Er... we're winning, aren't we?

Yes - and we've smartened up a lot in the second half and stopped fannying around at the back! Playibg out from the back now - to some purpose!

 

[The Fits]

I know we like playing inverted wingers but I really like Adingra on the right.

 

[Jackthelad]

Fati is quality on the ball, he sees everything, what a player even at such a young age his passing is a joy.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Looks pretty good to me

 

[London Irish]

Er... we're winning, aren't we?

We are but phew with a huge stroke of luck along the way

 

[maltaseagull]

How is that foul on Veltman not a yellow?

 

[Bodian]

Commentator saying that he thinks it a mistake for defenders to put there arms behind their back when defending one on one. Has he not watched the Luton games and their penalties??

 

[Steviewonder]

Down to 3rd place. Liverpool in front
