Lovely lovely play, and a well placed finish.

Was that Wilson or Kuqi?

He's a proper menace.

I'm legal just took me a while analysing the shot before I gave Longstaff credit.

Longstaff! Lovely play there and a quality placed finish.

They're definitely getting the hometown ref here.

Looks much more comfortable attacking.

Longstaff forgot who he was for a moment there

That's where having two strikers out there works in your favour, one forces the save and the other puts away the parried save.

Haha and here he is scoring.

Wilson making loads of friends out there. BTW that's no more or less a dive than their player's earlier in the match.

Wilson's going to retear his bicep at this rate.

Schaft with a nice long range pass that Murphy failed to trap.

Why no yellow there?

I feel like we just need to ride out their enthusiastic start then our attacking quality can shine.

Don't bother trying to hold them to any sort of consistency.

Divey divey, well played Bruno.

We are pushing dangerously high up the pitch.

Quality last man tackle BDB

A lot of changes to the team and it really shows.

Aye because with your history we've not been sure.

Joelinton on the bench warms my heart.

Krafth is best when he starts games, but you can't compare him to Schär's quality on the ball and range of passing. Our best form of defense may be to attack...

Can't unsee this now (though Pearson's head is larger and shoulders narrower).

What's going on with the left arm and hand? The arm is simultaneously bent forwards and backwards and the hand looks like one of those wooden things you dip in honey. Is it intentional that he looks like a plodding kid rather than a lean 6ft+ footballer. Does he have a rats tail? The number reeks of the dregs of the squad, which is actually a useful distraction from the awful attempt at stripes. Has the shadowey kid just thrown in the ball from the middle of the field, or is he preparing to catch it and storm off in a huff because the other kids aren't passing it? Or was it an attempt at a rabona that has sent the ball flying into orbit? Is one of the other kids wearing a fedora and suffering from dance fever? What's going on with the portion of the stadium? Otherwise it's bloody brilliant.
