Should be 2-3 up. Only real negatives are RAN and Nunes switching off a couple of times, and a few of our final balls being poor / too late

Much the better team.
 
A nothing half really but can't really argue with us being ahead

Think we are making hard work of getting the ball out from the back

Marmoush working hard but very frustrating the amount of times he loses the ball, or doesn't see a pass

Great to have Rodri back out there he makes such a difference

Hope Nouri not one these players that the shirt be to heavy for him because he ain’t impressed me that half!

Expect pep to have a word and see an improvement second half
 
Alright you mental bastards?

RAN did alright for me that me half.

Big Earl looks hungry, won a great header which forced a save too, so that must upset a few of yous on here.

Bobb looks silky too
 
Good half. Reijnders, Haaland, Bobb, Rodri and Marmoush have been great towards the second part of the first half. Bernardo has been quiet. Back line has been better before, but has been worse too.

Goal makes the world of difference. With it its been a more than decent half, without it, it looks a much more disappointing half.

Reijnders is way too deep. We've got Rodri and Bernardo sitting in, he needs to stop looking to pick the ball up off the centre backs and get himself up field for the pass further up, as it is, everything is being played around our backline and we are offering little threat beyond their first line.

Got to up the performance second half, especially going forward. We need a cushion as Rodri will have to come off at some point and we'll be much worse off without him on the pitch. Doku could make a difference here. I'd get him on for Marmoush who hasn't been good at all.

Eh?!

He's got one assist and would have another if Haaland hadn't scuffed a one on one right at the keeper.

I didn't you were the BM's Post Quality Control? I questioned why Pep didn't play Khusanov-Stone. What is your criticism of that? In before Pep selections shouldn't be questioned.

You post on an open forum, somebody is going to reply.

I did, my post suggested you were talking shit but I was politer than that.

My criticism of that is the fact that Dias has not been the same player he was, and it is time he was dropped.

Khus should not have been dropped last season, and a lot of people were happy to see him back in the team.

Fuck all to do with Pep's selections should never be questioned.

I was disagreeing with your post directly.

But be careful, this is how you get to 25k posts.
 
We lack control heavily. Great to see Rodri back, but Silva and Reijnders can’t seem to keep the ball. Bobb having some brilliant moves but consistently loses the ball when attempting a back pass. Hopefully they focus after the half time.
