Bologna (H) - CL League Stage, Wed 2nd Oct 2024 (8:00pm)

[Red Phoenix]

Slightly concerned that livescore shows 3 of our defenders on yellows and we're still only 1-0 up. Maybe subs shortly? edit : saw that Jota is on, might be good subbing one or more defenders too though.

[Anubis]

Every time the commentator Orsolini, I keep hearing Mussolini.

What’s Macca on about?!!!! Best part of Darwin’s game lately is holding the ball up and finding players you soft cunt

If he could do the thing he is actually good at and make some good runs in behind, we'd destroy them. Instead he's a complete statue who hasn't gotten a thing off Lucimi.

He has made a few runs, but we hit the first defender instead past them.

Yeah, weird criticism that.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Szobo had been defensively brilliant tonight

[waddy78]

Not going well for Nunez so far this season.

[suzy]

Jota on for Nunez

He’s broken a lot of their attacking play up before it got started.

[Jairzinho]

In Darwin's defence, all of the front three have been shit.

At least he's consistent then

[niallers]

We've just no control lads and lasses! They're beating our press with ease it seems and can get at our back4. Man to man really is our achilles heel

They're pressing us with 7 when Allison has the ball. We need more movement up top and runners to help

 

We're so shit at overloads.  You don't break down 10 men defences unless you overload one area. 

 

Feel sorry for Nunez, some shit decisions to pass to him.  It feels too forced, Salah was trying to play him in when it wasn't on.  Same as Dom, same as Diaz.  It's doing Nunez no favours to look for him with every fucking ball. 

 

We're also guilty of slowing play with shit passes. The fluidity isn't there, a top playmaker would help us move quicker and get those overloads. 

 

Also guilty, particularly Robbo, of randomly stopping when seemingly he has 40 yards of pitch in front of him. 

[waddy78]

The officials tonight have had a shocker not often the English refs are out done.

[Funkasy]

This ref is not very good, is he?

[Lee909]

Darwin started well but after that offside goal he's not been in it. Really think we need to add a long term number 9 to the needs next summer

 

Wonder if we'll look at that Jonathan David, he's on a free next summer. Turns 25 in January and looking on trsck to score over 20 again this season(yes it's in france)

[suzy]

Haha Kenny eating sweets!

[KMD7]

Haha Kenny and Marina in the crowd eating sweets. 

[waddy78]

Dom is quick once he gets going.

A creative 8 would do wonders.

[John102]

Have these cunts never heard of Gordon Hodgson

[Tony Moanero]

Yessssss! Get In! Just found half a roll

of Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles in a jacket pocket.

[suzy]

We really need another goal now.
