Yok could have had a hatrick
Worried about piroe playing between Doyle and rose.
Can see why Burroughs is playing and not Kane he looks excellent and calm
Really good half other then the finishing

Sounded like a really positive half, plenty of counter attacking with energy. Hope it continues.

Burroughs sounds like he’s had a decent half especially.

Good half. Only disappointment is that we're not more comfortably ahead.

Only thing stopping us from being a very good side at this level is our inability to convert chances.

Sorry, Gyökeres has to to better there.

The keeper came out but the goal is gaping. Lift it over him or go around. Such a poor effort.

Anywhere other than the keeper, I don't know why he consistently hits the keeper. Simple slot into the right corner there.

Can only assume he was trying to nutmeg him to look clever.

They are good on the ball, but when we eventually get it we look excellent on the break and should be further in front.

If he mixed his game up with the occasional pass he'd do much better. The defenders will know he'll always try and take them on, so only gives them one thing to think about. You're faced with either being taken on or he'll pass, it'll give them 2 issues to deal with.

Agree although half time we have no one near him. Definitely something we need to work on

Keeper had committed, bottom right corner instep slot in. Maybe should have got shot away sooner too.

Burroughs is an upgrade on Eccles, stronger defensively and better awareness going forward.

Yeah only seen a bit but he looks like he is a better player than Eccles. Would those that watch development games agree with that?

Really good half. We've let them have the ball and hit them on the counter. They have had a couple of decent moments but we have looked far more dangerous. I love Viktor but he really should have scored at least 1, especially that 1 on 1 he had just before Panzo's goal. He took an extra touch and was close to the keeper when he got his shot off. Other than that he's been a beast upfront.

Just need to keep going, working hard and try to block their passing lanes off. I have no doubt we will continue to create chances ok the the counter.

That side netting shot yes, but there's a good 2 or 3 times in games gone by there's someone in a better position.

Problem with playing with someone who won't pass the ball, by the time they eventually do, you don't expect it and fuck it up

On that note with the side netting shot, Allen should have been in the box by the time he'd cut back but again, you'd naturally assume he'll take it on himself so it'll effect players desire to get in the box and offer the pass.
