Well. Cant see 2 goals in this side.
Hope I get very vaulted.

We're going to get 4 roydo.

 

[GerryLives]

Those few shots we've had have been closed down quickly hopefully a few fall nicely for us second half.

But at the same time I don't see any attacking plan from us, it's all a bit too hopeful.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Davies "ok"?!?!?!?!

Considering the circumstance weather-wise, yes.

 

[Soap]

I’d take Coleman on crutches over the stuff we’re being served up at the moment.

Chris Coleman on crutches?

 

[argietoffee]

Tom Davies by an absolute country mile. Everything positive that half went through the lad.

If he could control the ball he would be World class.

As for Niksi, he is from a diferente planet

 

[Norwegian Cow]

get dcl and klaasen off. get sigurdsson and ramirez on.

 

[toffeejack]

Sigurdsson on for Klaassen at half time and we’ll do these.

Thought klaassen was just growing into the game tbh

 

[dannyboy]

Take cuco off and bring baines on. Might just be me but haven't noticed DCL muchz I'd maybe swap him and let Sandro have a run about

Nah, that's pretty much every week. Par for course.

 

[Sy-]

Despite his work-rate, DCL just has no presence, he's hardly bothering 1 defender, let alone worrying the whole back-line.

Vlasic doing well considering how tightly he's being marked.

Davies and Kev battling well.

 

[Joey66]

Klaassen desperately needs a goal to boost his confidence

A few passes to a blue shirt would be nice along with pace which he has not got!

 

[bluelegend]

When you see how we played the last 20 mins then you can't say the players are not playing for Koeman.

When the confidence is low and and you keep on conceding the 1st goal in every game with the weakened attack like ours, we are bound to struggle. Really should have set our transfer priorities differently. We should have got a good RB and LB instead of going for so many no 10s.

Our final ball is not good enough to cause trouble. But I can see Lyon getting troubled by our pressing. I'd maybe bring Sigurdsson on for Klaasen after 60th min and Lookman. It would have been perfect had we scored an equaliser.

I'll have whatever you're having mate coz I haven't seen them play for the manager all season and word is they don't.

 

[Sid James]

Caught the last 10 mins , best I've seen us perform since, erm, well, can't remember really

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Thought klaassen was just growing into the game tbh

A bit, but Gylfi has magic in his boots and Davy doesnt.

 

[cromofo]

we better win this dammit

 

[Axlswhk]

Today is the first time this season we play 2 winger who is willing to run and dribble and what a difference it makes.

first time this season we only employ a single number 10.

First time this season our wingback plays a supporting role instead of doing everything down the flank alone. Much more fluid and not so much of a pain to watch.

If siggy is playing instead of klassen, we would have ripe their Defence apart.
