Yeah, Big Joe looks rusty. And Long looks a yard short tonight.

 

They are deadly on the break and bar better finishing could be further ahead.  They are a very good team. Technically much better than us. I'd be tempted to through Tonali on . Is Anderson injured or did he not make the match day squad?

We're missing having a shielding DMF, all of their best chances including their goal have been to players dropping back into the centre with Joe, Bruno and Longstaff always on the wrong side of the player. One of them always needs to be in the deeper position to counter that, it's like they forgot that they can score too. There has to be some balance to our shape.

 

In attack we've lacked their first time shots, it's a weakness some of our players have; Joelinton, Longstaff come to mind, where they always want a touch before shooting. Their goal came from their player hitting quite a difficult shot with the pass moving at pace; the momentum on the ball from the pass took it away from Pope.

 I’d just like to take the opportunity of the half-time break to say that if we do lose tonight, can we all remember to give @Dr Gloom absolute fucking pelters and banish him from attendance, as it will obviously be all his fault, the shandy drinking la la.

He's not there mate, he asked for a white wine spritzer in Shearer's before the game and he's been locked in a wheelie bin ever since.

I am happy with that first half on a whole.  We haven't shit our pants and just sat back.  We have had a go.  These are seasoned ECL and like someone said.  We are not going to blow every team away.  We are still very much in this.  But IMO Miggy need to help Trippier out more or he gets hooked.

Joelinton looking leggy. Two games in a week after being out injured for awhile is probably a bit much for him. Need to switch things up here to get some fresh legs on the pitch.
