TGH is not a Right Back.

Handball!

They're desperate to adhere to this LCB / RCB pigeonhole they've created.

ANOTHER bad pass by Ohashi. Get him off ffs.

Think he's injured.

It's been a pretty non-threatening away performance, bar some poor GK and TGH falling asleep at the back post. Ohashi needs to come off for Gudjohnsen at half time and I'd be tempted to take Hedges off for Kargbo on 60 minutes.

6 minutes of extra time, when they put up 5 on the board. Just enough time for them to take a corner kick and the the subsequent afters. Awful officiating, as per.

He once scored a FK. He wouldn't be on my list of set piece takers - and this is in a team with basically no set piece takers. Simply doesn't have the technique.

He's a Solskjaer - a super sub. He gets bullied when playing the loan striker role - and he just showed his lack of pace on that counter attack. He should have been clean through, but they easily ran him down.

This Jones lad should be off. How many fouls is he allowed to make? Just brought Hedges down on the edge of the box when already on a yellow (for persistent fouling).

I'd take Pickering off at half time - he's twice taken a quick throw when you've got a long throw specialist in your team. Braindead.

#5, the Birmingham loanee.

Ohashi - doesn't shoot from 12 yards out (opts to pass to Cantwell instead), but does shoot from 30 yards out from a poor angle. Get Gudjohnsen on.

Cos we're playing with 10.

Poor GK that, should be saving that Toth.

They've played 3 long balls from deep and had us in all sorts of trouble.

Their long throw specialist, Edwards, is off injured.

Why isn't our striker shooting there?!?!

He does. I think he was signed to play the Hedges role - a defensive winger. Hedges unexpected good start to the season has meant we haven't really seen De Neve.

Morishita is a big upgrade on Dolan - a much better footballer.

Played CB for Luton.

Ribeiro has done nothing to lose his job - so I wonder if this is just about getting Pickering a game, maybe with an eye on the English minutes we need to play to qualify for those ESC slots?

Yes, but we're hardly scoring for fun. Put the big summer signing upfront at #9 where we're crying out for a contributor, already.

You can't play Morishita as a WB. He's far too slow. There were a couple of instances in his debut where he was covering for Alebiosu and he got absolutely rinsed by the winger - just on pure pace.

Scores 2 (yes I know it was 1) goal against France and can't crack the starting lineup. Odd.
