That’d be right I finally work out how to embed & it’s Geo locked

Cheers mate, wish they’d stop doing that though

Bit of a slog, first half we were very poor. Lacking ideas and very sloppy.

Second half better, we over powered them with our attacking resources but were still fortunate not to concede a second goal when the game was so open.

Bradley was promising, especially in the second half where he became braver and started to attack the opposition defenders instead of just coming backwards and sideways. MOTM shouts are a bit over the top but he was good.

Gomez was generally decent but sloppy in possession too often.

Virgil was sloppy, unlike him, hopefully a one off. Konate very good.

Gravenberch was very poor first half and deservedly got hooked in the second. With that, he always has a goal threat in him.

Curtis Jones, fabulous performance. In a game where we didn’t have Salah, Trent etc, we needed someone to stand up and be the go-to guy, who says “give me the ball, I’ll make something happen for us”. That was Curtis. For a young lad, he played with real maturity and responsibility. His desire to turn the game for us was crucial and yes, there was a bit of luck with the deflection but you get that when you decide you’re going to impact the game - and that’s what he did.

Which brings me to Luis Diaz. I don’t know if it was the injury or the horrid situation with his family, but Diaz is standing still at best. One good game in about five isn’t good enough. In a game like last night when there’s no Salah or Trent, there are people we should be looking to, who will step up and take responsibility. That should be Diaz. He’s 27 in a couple of days, he’s not a kid. He should’ve been one of our go-to men last night but he was ineffectual for the most part. He’s supposed to be in his prime and the performances need to reflect that. If not, I don’t see value in keeping him.

Jota was busy and lively, didn’t get his goal but made things happen and was always willing to take a shot, go on a run etc.

Nice cameo from Gakpo and Darwin. Whatever else we say about Nunez, he’s a livewire and stuff usually happens when he’s out there. Unlucky with his near post effort. Gakpo’s composure is like the antithesis of Darwin’s chaos. They sort of balance each other out. Lovely finish from Cody.

Alexis Mac had a decent game, one horrible pass in the first half where he gave it away very poorly under no pressure…and I’m not sure his set pieces are great, but he didn’t he needed to do.

Finally Kelleher. No issue with him, he is what he is, a backup. If Ali played last night, we keep a clean sheet. Alisson would’ve saved Willian’s shot, without a doubt.


Tricky second leg in store. If we go there with the mentality of winning the game, I feel we’ll go through. If we have a mindset of needing a draw and playing for one, it could end badly for us.

These hackers are getting out of hand. Hack an account, post one tweet in response to a goal, don’t change the password and then disappear again. Nobody is safe.

[Slinky Skills]

Doesn't he have to remain impartial?

[Buzzo]

He just has to 'say' that he remains impartial, then he has to not tweet anything such as 'absolute cunts' after we score forcing him to then have to fabricate a story about how his account was hacked.

Yeah thats a solid take

Though Macca played decent also, a couple of supreme (albeit last ditch) tackles. But midfield was not great after the first 15-20 mins. Wonder if playing a three with Gakpo as part of it is the solution as he is a solid technical footballer. Gravbo is a way from being anywhere near a solid starter.

Agree on Diaz also, and its not lack of effort as he is definitely grafting, he just cannot seem to get any scoring chances. As you say at the very least with Nunez he is making lots happen.

Also agree on Kelleher, he is what he is. Really good with the ball at his feet, but much like Mignolet any shot with decent pace on it and on target is invariably a goal.

We have tried that a number of times since getting him and more often than not it has resulted in some of his poorer games for us.

Think if we want to change how we use him, then using him as a wide playmaker like the Dutch do would be the way to go. He starts more or less on the left when in that role but rather than getting to the byline like a winger he links constantly with the LCM and plays through balls for central striker and the right winger along with doing likewise for any midfielder running from deep.


He also seems to get more time on the ball when in that role.

More just the lack of midfielders than wanting him to play in midfield. Or move Harvey into midfield as he didnt offer much on the RW.
