Who is at left-back? PEH?
Looks like it.
Gunn is out so I will take that as a small victory.
Lube up - the Hojberg / Romeu / JWP combo is out there again
Itās like a shit version of the Lampard / Gerrard partnership
wtf
No. JWP.
same thing
The JWP / Romeu / Hojberg partnership is working its arse off
Armstrong the man thereā¦
Iām confident weāll hold out for the full 90 minutes.
Blimey
Holy feck, a half time lead. That was some defending going on thereā¦
It was, but a little more planning on the out-ball and weād be able to catch them on the break.
Well well well, we beat Man City at a half of football. Iām stunned, in a good way. Iām putting the swarfega away for now in quiet optimism.
We really need to hold on to the ball better in the second half. Also thereās something wrong with the clock. Iām sure that 45 took about 3 and a half hours.
Closing down was impressive, especially Romeu.
Keep that up in the second half and might just take something from this game.
That was a gutsy first half. I donāt know how many blocks we got in but it was impressive backs to the wall defending. If we can hold out and feed sub Djenepo with an out ball we could be on for a never dreamed of result.
On the other hand howeverā¦
Edit: Fuck me 9 blocked shotsā¦if only weād had those in our last PL game.
Iād like to see their throw-in count.
Weāre playing like a rugby team kicking for touch.
I feel sick again - I am feeling bruised by sport at the moment
