[Beach Hut]

Our new signing starts.......

 

[Hugo Rune]

Mods: Please edit title to Croatia Vs Leon Balogun

FFS let’s have a bit of consistency shall we?

 

[Weststander]

Balogun looks a big uhit with pace, relaxed/confident.

Wonder how a Dunk & Balogun partnership would fare in the PL?

 

[Icy Gull]

Being a tart there

Doing simple things well though so far

 

[Paskman]

A jam tart with the blood flowing

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

He's got more than a touch of Van Dijk about him hasn't he? Looks decent.

We’re not watching the winners here, are we.

That’d do nicely.

Same with Denmark earlier. Offered little and got lucky with the hopeless penalty miss.

1-0. Well-worked corner.

edit: own goal in fact, off the back of the Nigerian players heel.

Nice to hear Ally McCoist back doing co-commentary.

 

[Weststander]

Another set piece goal conceded by a Dunk, Duffy or Balogun defence.

Was it our boy? (The Nigerian Lewis Dunk, the OG king)

Exactly. Chaotic defending of that corner. He’ll fit right in.

It was his CB partner, the Nigerian Duffy.

Nope, Etebo. Wasn't a whole lot he could have done it about it though imo.

With 4'11" Maty Ryan single handedly gifting 3 points to the French, things are shaping up for 2018/19.

 

[KZNSeagull]

He let his man go and get the header from that corner. CH will not like that.

He's resigned to it now.

So next season he's going all attack, doing Bournemouth, to try and win games 4-3.

Oh goodee. Perhaps he will employ my patented umbrella formation (1-1-5-3)? It is heavily reliant upon high pressing obviously, but worth a try I would have thought.
