We were cruising at the end of the second half, and into the first half of extra time, then made changes that didn't need making. Gakpo, and im prolly going to get slated for this, is another Origi, scores the odd goal that means something, but is deffo not good enough to be in this team.
He is not good enough full stop.
Origi is probably still better now than fucking Gakpo is, and that's setting aside all the moments Origi conjured up. Gakpo is absolute pish.

Absolutely shite. Pick up the ball, run forward and a) pass it the opposition b) run into someone c) have a shite shot.

Hodgson the perfect choice for all of us then?
He'll be played like a fiddle by a bunch of suits to be their shithouse fucking mouthpiece.

Keep 'em coming!
There's some real sliding doors stuff here. Makes me wonder if we're good at this transfer lark or really lucky!
Endo > Caicedo/Lavia combined

Quansah was very good again, nice assist, also played a lovely ball earlier. Doesn't look out of place.
Finally see what Endo is about. If he plays like that, he'll be a good signing.
Thought Doak was excellent too. Yes he sometimes makes wrong decisions but he also makes a lot of right decisions. He played a couple of nice balls in the box that could have led to goals. Was unlucky with the shot that hit the bar.

Endo has played well

Definitely a bit more from Endo in that half. Quansah good bar that bizarre moment.

A slightly less dramatic/important one but didn't we try to sign Jamal Lewis before we signed Tsimikas and Norwich rejected the bid? I've seen the former plenty of times for Northern Ireland and he's definitely not as good as Tsimikas. Like Barry is saying though, maybe Lewis would have done better here than he's done since not coming here, etc. Still, think that worked out well enough

Only turns 23 next month... You can see why he's already been captaining his country, he seems a pretty mature player. How he's just come in straight away, played in different positions at different times, and looked very good pretty much all the time - it's impressive. And on top of that, he's good technically and tactically and seems to have massive stamina, plus is versatile. Happy days

A couple of pretty poor ones I haven't seen mentioned:
Brad Jones - no harm to the guy, seemed a decent sort, but he was woeful, well below the standard required
David Ngog - played a lot for someone so poor

Fuck sake, pass, don't shoot

Somebody shoot for fuck sake

Fucking hell, that's soft... Nice pen

I'd start Virg but only give him 45-60 mins. I'd only play him as we need to be careful with minutes of Gomez/Matip and don't want to overplay Quansah like we did Bajectic. Saw on Saturday him tire later. I'd start him if fit though.
I'd go something like
------------------Kelleher
Gomez---Virg--Quansah--Tsmiskas
-------------------Endo
--------Elliot----------Gravenberch
Doak-----------Jota---------Gakpo
Endo can drop in at HT/60 for Virg and bring Bajectic on. Hopefully get a few in the first half so changes can be made
Try amd get the likes of game time
Bobby Clark
Kane Doherty
Kai Gordon
Issac Mabaya
I'd play that exact team but with Nunez instead of Jota
-
That new hairdo makes him look even more mental, which is some going

Agree with @The Golden Eel 100%.
Thanks mate. Interesting that nearly 24 hours after the game nobody had bumped his thread, but as soon as I weigh in with my analysis, everyone's suddenly an expert on him.

Was he good overall? I didn't see the game so what's the consensus here?
Do you not trust me? Read my post. Pretty good full debut yesterday. That's all you need to know.

Yeah. As he was landing, the toe area of his boot caught in the pitch and his ankle twisted. He looked pretty gutted, like he thought it was a bad one
