Doku ffs, please get 2 class wingers in. Not going to win much starting with Doku and Savinho

These two are good for the environment

 

[Dodge]

Why did Haaland boot Nico during the goal celebration, haha?!

Bit wierd that.

 

[flook]

Involved in the first goal too though, plus working back defensively (at times). I can handle a performance like this, as it actually still has some end product.

Glad you put "at times" in there :)

I thought I was the only one not buying into the Sav love in :). He's been poor apart from a very good cross

Since the defender got a yellow he's not ran at him once.

Savinho, Nunes and Lewis right side is playing really really good.

 

[paulsimpson]

Left side (Josko and Doku) have been a bit weak so far. I think Rico and Nunes have been great so far. Tighten up the passing a bit in the 2nd and we win quite easily.

94% passing accuracy reduced to 93% after the first goal and it told as we got a little bit sloppy and lost the ball so we have to be better when receiving it and maintain possession .

Any chance we can have a gane where BOTH Sav and Doku play really well?

Sav been really good whereas Doku is running down dead ends.
Apart from 2 spells.of sloppy play we have bossed it.

Looking forward to La Cherk coming on.

Their full back is speedy, Doku needs to come inside more

 

[Luke The Blue]

Must be a different one to you alright.
Was involved in the first goal too, that is if you really are watching the Villareal game.

Yeah I am and he's been shit apart from the cross and that was piss poor defending.

Kova, Nouri, Marmo and Cherki on second half at some point you’d think. Maybe Ake as well/or Bobb

 

[waspish]

More goals in this for us but Villarreal look good on the break they will get chances and there home form is very good!

I think their right-back's been playing well, though

Villarreal’s stadium is proper mint!

It was falling down ten years ago.

 

[malg]

Clean sheet would be nice.

No Ake thanks

 

[paulsimpson]

Their right back Mouriño on a yellow. Hope Doku can capitalise

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I'd hate to see your reviews on the other 21 players on the pitch.
Its probably Savinho"s best game all season

 

[paulsimpson]

Well in Stones . Stopped the cross

 

[roach3]

Get a dehumidifier lad. Got one last week and using any opportunity to praise it

Dried out a bit now we’ve scored again

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

savinho haters quiet

Yes, 1 good cross completely negates all the average performances so far to date

Did La Liga buy their training ground for a billion too?
