Shocked to find he's only 24, looks like he's in his 50s

BTA and Norm are pressing well but have been awful when they get the ball, neither are capable of holding the ball up

Not heard BTA mentioned on CWR commentary. Has he been effective?

I suspect Lampard wants him gone. He is poor in so many aspects of his game. We need better.

I still think there’s a player there but agree that I’m not sure Lampard does. I know who I’d rather play against out of simms and BTA

Why is there a massive hole at the edge of the pitch?

it’s hard cos we don’t have some of the sounds like the W and IJ sounds but the following is a direct quote from a native Dutch speaker:

Ay-Vaik

They asked him at the fans forum how to pronounce it and yours isn't far off. I was more surprised at the 'Van' which he pronounced as 'Von'

Simms is certainly good enough to replace either for the second half.

Norwich - and in particular Sainz - seem frustrated. They still look pretty dangerous though.

Yeah Dutch a is sort of half way. The vowel sounds are weird and hard at first for an English speaker IMO. I’d accept (Ay-Vak) from the comms at least. Just not You-Wick or whatever.

This feels too easy. No way the second half is that straight forward.

Bassette offers less than BTA imo.

Sloppy on the ball but happy enough with that. Still think these players have got so much more than we’ve seen this season

edit - just seen 59% passing accuracy. Got to be better

Not at all on the ball but he does hassle the defence when they have the ball. You can see the press was the game plan today.

Simms ain't doing that but the few times one of our strikers have got the ball they lost it tamely where you'd fancy Simms to have shielded it and played a runner in

So far a bit of a grindy away performance from us with one great bit of play that resulted in a goal.

We have been good since the goal and allowing Norwich to foul us and manage the game generally well.

I thought they looked slick and a lot better than us until we scored the goal. That seemed to knock the stuffing out of them and since they've been whinging, whilst we've grown in confidence.

Will take that at half time certainty!

He’s an organiser and leader. If he could settle down some of the other stuff there’s good CB there

They seem to have a bit of a mentality issue within their team as well imo.
