[Albion] Non-goal highlights v Ajax

[Bozza]

So many, and I won't remember them all so feel free to add your own...

Mitoma Cruyff/Groß turning to beat their defender, and right in front of the Ajax fans.

Mitoma's immaculate touch to bring the ball under control from Steele's long kick in the first half.

Groß Cruyff/Groß turning, repeatedly, and doing so against Ajax.

Jason Steele also getting in on the Cruyff/Groß turn act.

Dunk's header back to Steele from around the edge of the box when he was surrounded.

 

[Bob!]

Dunks 50 yard pass to, and the control by, Adingra in the second half

 

[Guinness Boy]

Milner having a decent game. Sticking together several chains of 20+ passes just because we could. De Zerbi celebrating the first.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Something strangely impressive about Akpom’s zero touches in 15 minutes. Is this really true? Nice work if you can get it.

 

[Arthur]

No stoppage time at the end of the first half.

Caught plenty of half time peevers (myself included) out.

 

[Mackenzie]

I had a pizza, my daughter got a cracking Mitoma poster in her match program.

 

[NottinghamGull]

Milner flattening another winger. And having a better game. Plus a left back not coming off through injury

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Gross and Dunk passing the ball back and forth about 47 times when we’d had the ball for about eight minutes was fun. The Ajax players looked as if they were about to have a collective breakdown.

 

[Gazwag]

What seemed like 100% of the Ajax fans all sitting quietly in their seats for the whole of the half time break

 

[Driver8]

My poster in the programme wasn’t a soggy mess, unlike the AEK one.

 

[pb21]

No VAR bollocks

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Also, some tremendous fannying about at the back. Almost kamikaze levels when we were two up. The players seemed to be seeing how far they could go, and the Ajax fans absolutely hated it.

 

[Boroseagull]

Watching Gross control the game like the master he is.

 

[Brok]

Agree with Dunks header back to Steele.
That was one of, if not the, coolest thing I've seen so far this season.

in bold above = never used the word audacious at a football match until yesterday!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Queuing up at the bar at The Caxton behind a geezer in an Ansu Fati 31 shirt and then realising it was @Stumpy Tim

 

[WATFORD zero]

Absolutely no queue at Mill Road going, and only 5 minute queue (admittedly a few pints after FT) coming back. And the absolutely outrageous amount of fannying around at the back winding up the Ajax fans

 

[Guinness Boy]

Sometimes he flattens them, sometimes he flatters them.......

And the man sitting behind the commentator who apparently shouted "stop messing about". Rumours are that it could have been a bagpipe botherer from Preston Park, but that could just be malicious.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Not a highlight as such but to watch a game with only one offside decision in the entire match was a bit strange.
