[Albion] Estupinan on at half-time

[Bozza]

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

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Only Fabian Hürzeler

 

[Reddleman]

That was him back to much more like his of self. The connection with Mitoma was so clearly better.

 

[Bakero]

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

Not me. I thought Ferdi was looking very good so surprised to see him withdrawn.

 

[A1X]

Hopefully his return to form means we can switch Ferdi to the right and Joel can provide some much needed CB cover

 

[Munchkin]

Excellent when he came on. Hopefully the start of him getting back to where he was pre injury.

 

[Han Solo]

It wasn't the only change. Most of the change was in the heads of the players imo..

That said, I'm a Perverto man all day all night. He's our best left back by a distance.

 

[GT49er]

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

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.

 

[severnside gull]

Worthy of mention is how much solidity Veltman offered in defence

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

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.

 

[The Mole]

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

 

[Uh_huh_him]

We all looked at each other and shrugged.

Felt Kadioglu had been poor defensively, but didn't expect Pervis to improve anything.

 

[dwayne]

Ferdi great going forward woeful as a defender so far. Players just walk past him. Still wonder if the only reason he got taken off was bacuase he was injured tho.

Pervis back to his best.

 

[Diablo]

That was him back to much more like his of self. The connection with Mitoma was so clearly better.

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

 

[Uh_huh_him]

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

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

 

[GingerBeerMan]

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

 

[AZ Gull]

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

 

[jonny.rainbow]

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.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not me. I thought Ferdi was looking very good so surprised to see him withdrawn.

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

 

[Mad as my Mother]

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.
