    Leaps like a salmon.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Superb header it has to be said.
  • alderzalderz
    Out midfield seems so well balanced these days, Alvarez, JWP, Paqueta, Soucek are a fantastic midfield quartet (I know Soucek isn’t playing today). It just seems like everyone knows their jobs perfectly and completely trust each other to do them properly.
  • alderzalderz
    Their keeper is dodgy isn’t he! Decent chance for Kudus.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    That pitch is cutting up a bit
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    So unlucky not to get a second.
  • alderzalderz
    Paqueta second goal disallowed. I don’t understand the offside rule.
  • alderzalderz
    Fornals should have played him in really, but you could tell he really wanted to score. Presumably he feels he needs to make a mark today.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Paqueta just strays offside as he slots what would have been the second.
  • alderzalderz
    Dinos down with a head injury after running into Alvarez at a corner.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Dinos down in the penalty area for ages before the ref finally blows (was caught in the face by the back of Alverez's head).
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    He'll have to come off, surely.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Surely the cards have to come out soon, they're kicking us off the park.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Again Fornals maybe shoulda done better there.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Fornals doing little to claim a starting position, he needs to do better IMO
  • alderzalderz
    Fornals strikes me as a real confidence player, and he’s currently got no confidence. He needs a lucky break.
  • alderzalderz
    Apparently they’ve had 51% possession, which I find really hard to understand tbh.
  • alderzalderz
    Paqueta is great, but every now and then he can be extremely casual and give the ball away as a result. There’s been a few occasions in this half where he’s over complicated things or just looked pretty careless.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Decent attack but JWP didn't quite connect with his shot, although it looked like it was with his left foot.
  • stevesteve
    should be 2 or 3 up .still good half
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Left side IMO the weaker link....Not sure though I can slate anyone, especially Kehrer who's playing somewhat out of position, Fornals IMO has been the biggest let down, without doing too much wrong, just could/should have done more at times IMO, probably should have been further ahead, only gripe ......

    Some old Hammer down the pub just told me that if we win tonight it will be the first time we've won in Germany

    A quick Google confirms this, every time we've played away against German sides we've lost apart from a 1-1 draw against FC Magdeburg in 1966

    I’m sure there’s an inappropriate song about that. 🤣

    It is strange but I think Fornals is having a good game. He’s busy, linking pretty well and getting a tackle in when needed.

    Hey, we all see things differently, but for me, he's wasted a few opportunities, over to you Fornals....COYI.....
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    There we go, weak link down the left......
  • alderzalderz
    And it’s 1-1. We’ve not really got going this half yet.

    Damn. It was a good ball that set up the initial shot, but 2 good saves by Fabianski unfortunately wasn't enough and it fell to their player off Aguerd from the second save I think.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Sigh.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    They have sussed us out, to me it's been obvious, our left side is the weak link......
