Well I’m glad we didn’t throw the 22 year old full back with 17 Germany u21 and over 100 Bundesliga appearances into this, I’m not sure how we would have coped.
As for that clown Morato, if anyone ever comes on here again and says he’s alright then just fuck the fuck off. Cuina must be absolutely shite.
In other news, it's Kyrgyzstan's turn next in the olympic opening ceremony parade. Even their two lone athletes seem more coordinated than our centre halves.
Take Abbot off at half time, as much for his own sake as for anything else. Quite how a youth team centre half equates to a PL full back I’ll never know but he can’t play down the right and it’ll only get worse.
Aina has to switch back to the right and the new lad probably needs to come on.
Missed chances at 0-0.
Some shit bits of defending from a back 4 where 2 aren't at the level and 1 is out of position. Plus a keeper on debut who last played who knows when.
Our set pieces and crossing remains both hopeful and hopeless and we've started to snatch at chances.
We've not looked that much worse than them, but our weaknesses at both ends are fully on view tonight.
