And there it is. Nianzou gets us on the board. Torres with the assist.

Time to sub off Gudelj and YEN. Thank you for showing up for your team. Now get some rest and go represent your countries.

Damn, Jordan is going for a rocket today. He’s sent two howlers just over goal already.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Dmitrovic subbed at some point too.

He is mostly just standing at the other end picking daisies at this point. He is good. Lol

Or a more 1 dimensional. The guy is super below average.

90 percent possession, 90 percent passing percentage, 18 shots, 5 on goal, 4 corners.

With 90% possession we’re camped outside their penalty area but don’t have enough penetration, it really lays bare our lack of football.
If we just pulled back a little it would open spaces. Most play going down the right side and ends up with Suso, Jordan has had a lot of ball in the centre but hasn’t made the right decisions with passes. On the left Salas doesn’t want to take responsibility and so the ball goes backwards while Isco is fooling around too much. Nesyri has touched the ball 3 times despite all our pressure. It’s still a dysfunctional system.

Penalty there of course, but ref having nothing of it.

It was a clear penalty, ball had gone, ref has been suspect.
Por fin Lamela going to enter.
Wow. What’s happening? We’re putting more passes out of play than we are completing…

Finally. Good finish from Mir from an effective Navas cross

Great performances by Gudelj and Nianzou, of course they didn’t have to defend much but their clean-ups and distribution were perfect. I think I prefer Navas at right wing, he doesn’t have as much forward presence as Suso but the final product is much better. Nice to see Fernando back.

Nice to get through and secure a win before the long break. It gives added incentive to try have a cup run to lift the form and mood of the club. Good job boys!

Caught bits of the match and we were well on top for most of it as is to be expected, but job done and we were comfortable enough. All we can ask for. A bit of confidence going into the WC break and hopefully the start of a good cup run.
Vamos!

Exactly. Hoping Fernando 2.0 doesn’t look like Suso 2.0, Jordán 2.0 or even Rakitic 2.0 has in recent times.
