Really. Surprised at that. Thought he was decisive and made two absolutely brilliant clawing saves.
His saves were brilliant, especially the early one but he seemed rooted to his line at times . Thomas and Kitching gave him stacks second half for not dealing with a couple of long balls

We aren't Brazil 1970 FFS
Playing badly and winning is the mark of a good side
And we started to look scrappy when they were throwing on attackers , it happens at every level

Who said anything about Brazil? Things got scrappy and we were holding on through a period of sustained pressure.

Once again apart from Thomas, MVE showed how important he is for us. The long throw for the equaliser posed all sorts of problems for the defence and sakamoto was in right position to level it up for us after half time.

I was actually really impressed with O'Hare, he is a great player when he'son form as he clearly is at the moment. Very pleased to see him miss a couple of chances. I don't really go in for the booing of a player who was so good for us but hopefully it put him off a bit.
Had a half decent game tbf. Good to see he's finally learnt to hit the ball hard rather than his pathetic back pass attempts at goal for us

People go all kneejerk and pissy during the game then go all snotty when something clear and obvious is innocuously criticised after the game. Never change.

First half we had reverted to familiar issues from last season. Slow and ponderous on the ball, an awful goal given away and generally ineffective stuff.

Big impetus after half time, deservedly got in front and it was then a scrap with poor use of the ball a constant problem. We play like that at Stoke it’ll be a massacre, but tonight wasn’t really about quality, it was about character and we showed it in a tough situation.

Credit to Lampard, turns out this was the game to go 4-2-4 and Friday was the game for 4-3-3. C’est la vie

Not a perfect table (because it includes last season's promoted teams), but again, it shows consistently how well we are doing under FL.

I was too although constant reminders of his skill in beating 2 players and then playing an awful pass when he gets to the box.
Also enjoyed his Mick Coop style shot into the roof of the North stand

i don’t boo anyone just for being an ex player generally. But it clearly annoys him and is very funny so I make an exception for him.

Proper heart shown 2nd half, much much better. Just lost way little 1st half, good change at HT.

good teams find a way, we found a way.

Thomas MOM closely followed by Sakamoto.

credit to COH, played well, don’t get the booing, not quite sure what he did wrong, each to own however.

I thought he was their best player on the night, worked tirelessly as usual, but they have no real threat up front. Possibly tried to do too much on his own.
