    We don’t seem to commit enough fouls for me, where is the breaking up of the game & making it scrappy?

    Edit - reply to Munich.
    It had a different dynamic because both teams were going for a win (imo) because of all the 'automatic promotion rivals' narrative that's going on.

    Both were a bit rubbish in parts 😂

    Thankfully we got the win.
    We scored 4 which is great
    Still lots of work to do IMO.
    But hey, we won.
    I’ve been critical of Scarles, but he played better tonight IMO 👏🏻
    Strange game…
    COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️

    Still wasn’t convinced by Scarles - so many attacks down his side second half & it was easy

    I thought he did better tonight & I have been very critical , their 2nd goal he got roasted though, perhaps not enough help from midfield?….

    Don’t think he lost the ball all game - in a two man midfield (with an attacking partner) against (IMO) the best side we’ll face this season

    Whoscored has him as a bit over 92% pass accuracy.

    Not criticising your take, but I just looked up the stat for you 😄

    I only count to 92 😂

    I thought Scarles was MOTM, personally (I'm beginning to worry I'm biased).

    That said, I would worry a bit if he's our only left back option for the whole season.

    Taty fouls but tries to control the game.

    This is more of what we are after when we need to control the game.

    What I like is he always shows for the ball, never hides, is always moving into space to get involved in the game, still got areas to work on but thought that was his best game so far

    Engels next to Soucek will be very solid when we need it
  • LukerzLukerz
    A midfield trio of Engels, Souček & Mukasa will be the business
  • LukerzLukerz
    Both goals were a little unlucky, the deflection off Mukasa for the first quick wrong-footed Mavropanos & the OG, but we are too flimsy at the moment to attack
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Mavro was slow tracking back.

    Scarles too narrow for the other
  • LukerzLukerz
    Areola, Morato, Veltman, Álvarez, Kanté, Magassa, Souček, Austbo, Piroe

    Could be our bench by Millwall game
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Depth there
  • SlackerSlacker
    He’s got to go!
    Oh hang on, we won so he’s ok for at least another game.🎉

    Piroe not quite thrilling so far.

    I'll give him 2 more games to get settled ( so generous 😂) but then will be expecting a lot more.

    Guess you all saw Amanda Staveley celebrating our goal…Interesting times with the owners to come…

    I thought the referee did well tonight. IMO, he looked in control and like he was the boss, and the players knew it. He didn’t blow the whistle everytime someone fell over, and didn’t relay on VAR to make decisions for him. To me it helped with the flow of the game.

    Also, I believe the discussions (arguments?) in the pub (or anywhere else) about the decisions add to the matchday experience - rather than relying on another faceless official in a box somewhere! 😂

    COYI,⚒

    No VAR helps

    Whilst I agree with the overall premise, I have no idea how Jordan James got booked when Mavro dived in on him

    Happy to secure the point and bank a win but imo I thought it a strange game…almost schoolboy defending from both teams, may have been entertaining for the neutral but neither team can say that they were in control of the game at any time.

    It was a strange set up from the start, We always seem to do better when Pablo is in the team but for the life of mei cannot understand why that is the case.

    Engels caught the eye, looks like the real deal
