Torp interesting player - premier league technique. Shame it’s taken this long for him to have consistent run of games

Torps crossing ability is ridiculous

I imagine Sheaf would have gradually shifted over there a little given how he was playing in those early games for Lampard.

I think a CM is more pressing anyway so I’m not too downbeat about Rabbi. LW is fine once Haji and EMC are back. RW maybe a little more of an issue

This would have been me on the flight to that pointless friendly vs Darmstadt in August

Likewise, a few of our fanbase thought Kitching was league one standard, overpriced shite. Now we’re wondering why he hasn’t been featuring.

I don't have a story about how much of a physical specimen he was, but in playgroup Jordan Clarke was Batman, and I was Robin

I’m as pleased as you Andy. Enjoyed the performance, just keeping some balance as there’s work to be done on some things

Agreed, mentioned it earlier in the match thread. Had they more pace, a little more care then there’s a couple of potentially dangerous situations that there needn’t be when you’re 2-0 up. Close the lines and take their momentum away

All I remember at the time in terms of mistakes was his lapse pass against QPR, was it? We don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I think it was generally going against what's normal in football and goalkeeping to have dropped him at that point.

Dovin 8 MVE 6.5 Lati 7 Binks 6.5 Kitching 7 Bidwell 6.5 Allen 7 Torp 7 Rudoni 7.5 Simms 7 Asante 6.5

Not playing into the elite tactician stuff but it's good from Frank. Some very key players out, he's stepped away from his usual style and he's grinding out results.

7?! Have I missed something

Lampard playing Pep with MVE tucking in slightly. Looks very dangerous running from that position

I’d be telling Eccles just to get his foot on the ball here. Momentum of the game needs killing

Dovin to the rescue again. Little nervous about the through balls stretching the defence everytime.

Great team goal - very good first time from Torp in that build up

the Lancashire Collins is in goal for them, pepper the penalty area

Wonderful ball by Torp

What do we know as mere fans, but it’s crazy how Dovin hasn’t started every game
