Once they calmed down a bit after the goal, it’s not looked too terrible. Neco’s looked a bit wobbly at the back and on this showing so far, Vlach can get gone.
Taiwo never plays 90, so presumably we’re going to see Ribeiro.
How is Mad Matz doing (apart from the piss-poor organisation for the goal obvs)?
Looks beefy. Couldn't do anything about the goal. Not had much to do otherwise. Came out confidently to punch a cross. Looks OK with the ball at his feet.
Personally I'm at least enjoying watching the team being sent out with a message that's slightly more positive than "this lot are clearly better than you so every man stay behind the ball and hope that we can nick one on the break", but YMMV.
Vlachodimos he is not. Looks very assertive, I imagine he's got a rick or two in him given how quick he is to come off his line but so far so good. The one time he was played the ball to feet under pressure he dealt with it very calmly.
One thing I’ve noticed is this keeper has dived or generally made an effort for balls Vlach likely wouldn’t.
Bournemouth are far too comfortable down the wings for me.
In the previous game Boly got sent off for nothing. The tackle/lunge at Hudson Odoi was terrible. Looked a red to me. Two feet up. Not in control.
Luckily Hudson Odoi recovered and scored a pearler.
Every time they get a set piece or corner though we are in trouble . Can Felipe run? He could solidify that middle. Tavares is a liability.
Selz seems decent.
Need. Need this win.
Probably a teeth grinding second half coming up.
Chicago: Running Behind.
Twatterx seems to think the ref bottled sending Kluivert off then Muff subbed him. Is that so?
Ish. He could have had about 4 yellows but they would all have been soft, including the one he did get. He was on the way to getting his second through a series of little niggly challenges, so they took him off before he got there. No complaints from me.
Gio for the winner
Dominguez doing a good job of drawing fouls.
I suspect a number of the tweets are rooted in misogyny.
Fuck Phillip Billing.
