Solid first half that, deservedly in front from a great finish by Dom, Gray’s having a stinker again though, Gordon has at least tried to make things work

Idrissa, Ama and Wobes are back on form as well and Coleman’s managed Zaha and Eze well
 
Really good half of football with both the players and supporters seemingly well up for it.

Pure quality from DCL for the goal, glorious first touch.

I like the variety in our play: playing through the thirds in midfield as well as playing the long diagonals from Tarkowski & Coady.

Coleman’s been absolutely fine but we do need Patterson back to provide that attacking threat on the right. Looking much more threatening going forward today though. Keep it up Blues!

I seem to say it every week. Mainly because it's true.

But that referee is an absolute abomination.

1 situation where we have Gordon free as a bird with the ball at his feet in their 18 yard box and 1 where they have the ball in their half and we don't get the ball back but they do.

Had the opportunity to double down on his wrongs to make a right and the elbow headed clown was even more inept.

They have a real nerve playing the victim card these refs yeno.

If you're awful at your job, you deal with the criticism that comes with it.

He took the easy option for the first drop ball for sure, but overall I think he has been very good. I can't think of any mistake he has made.

And "righting a wrong" would actually be very poor refereeing

Seems like the FA thinks the Championship could do with a bit of a viewership boost. It's called like rugby against the other side, and it's the most ticky-tack basketball ref you've ever seen when it's our players.

Ayews been begging for a card at least twice and then another for persistent fouling, and to the rules Gray ought to have had a yellow for studs up catching the man and late (only just and single footed and no major speed) but it was even though he'd been two arm pinned just prior.
That first half Zaha has been caught offside a bit much (twice clearly on?), we have that lino this half. oh dear.

We look so scared to attack though. So many times we have it out wide and instead of just testing them with a cross, we pass it back to Onana and Gana who can't create.

It's really weird as Gray, Gordon, and Iwobi are all good with the ball at feet and can go by players yet only seem to want to attack when there is a big gap of space ahead. Scared to actually take a man on at times.

Just had a better look at the goal.

Bergkamp-esque that.

Really good finish from DCL. If he goes high Guiata probably tips it over the bar so was smart. Also did well winning the ball back 10 seconds before.

He has his critics but that is why he's still so important to get out there from the start in games especially at home as him and Iwobi lead a really good press.
