In fairness to Tosun he scored a pretty good goal....his main job is to score goals and he has one....so far

But he needs to soak up pressure

 

[BlueToff]

You get the feeling some of our players turned up today expecting a walkover and weren’t mentally prepared for their hectic pressing.

Hmm. I think we started fine, but immediately relaxed after scoring. That’s the issue, and they grew into the game. We then have Coleman and Keane - who should be leading and organising - saying nothing, and our midfielders are all so quiet too.

Only bloke shouting is Olsen

 

[Ring master]

Overslept. How's it been?

Not good,but we lead

 

[overkill]

Cenk scored from his one chance to be fair... Since the goal we've created nothing

He had another half chance that went wide, difficult take that one though to be fair

 

[Sharpies volley]

The only good thing about this game apart from the fact we're winning is that there is no overly paid ex footballer Co commentating, telling us exactly what we can see with our own eyes.

That Olosunde lad for them has been very decent.

Think he was a man utd at one point

 

[TheBigIguana]

Well not much of a choice on the bench. But what about the other ideas.

Not really sure they solve any issues either tbh. Our bench is pretty pointless today.

 

[Death]

Look at that empty gwladys

 

[irishtony1878]

You can see the disappointment on James' face when he gets the ball, looks up, and sees zero movement

If that is really the case, then he needs to open his mouth and start giving them sh1t.

Surely a good few under 23s could do better than this .........no pace of passion they would have something to prove ........

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

When you look at our bench we haven't got one player who could come on and change the game.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

That Olosunde lad for them has been very decent.

Watch our Jan business be doing a Vlasic for him.

But he needs to soak up pressure

The ball has mainly been in our half, with virtually no service to him. If thats DCL, no one mentions it

 

[BlueToff]

Aye, and in an ideal world Carlo will have wanted to take James off at HT I imagine
