The more I see Morgan's goal, the better that ball from Murillo to Hutchinson gets. He was inside his own half on the opposite wing and picked him out perfectly. What a fucking player he is.

A close to fully fit Dominguez makes a huge difference, Hutchinson was a bright cameo, Dyche deserves credit for the substitutions and being prepared to make them with time to make a difference.

If Taiwo had touched Morgs' header it would probably have been disallowed, and he looked really close.
Hutchinson did so well for the penalty, but it did look like he was happy to get the nudge and go down. Some interesting arm and leg movements in there. -
Yeah, he slowed down slightly and cut in front of Harrison to draw the foul. Clever but it would have been really annoying if he'd failed to get the penalty and also given up on crossing.
-
On the first viewing, I did think it was cut across, leg drag, divey....but in fairness to him as he cut across he was knocked around the knee and that took him over. Good pace and skill, and clever movement with the ball. A penalty (just, because of the position on the line of the box), and great speed and skill with the ball at feet.
It's a lot to pay for an impact sub, and he's still not strong enough to do a ninety minute shift at the level for me....but no criticism of what he did when he came on. Quite excellent (unlike what we've seen from McAtee so far).
-
McAtee's best position is the one normally taken by Gibbs-White and he's not close to his level (yet?). Assume he was bought as cover or a potential replacement if Morgan leaves next summer (seems a lot of money for that but whatever).
But, under Dyche, to my eyes, Gibbs-White is playing a much more advanced role anyway, which doesn't suit McAtee at all.
