I know he’s a kid but why not bring Scarlett on for the pens? Surely a striker is a better bet than a LB?
Not quite sure why Reggie is on for Tanganga when Doherty is on the bench. He’s a better FB but entirely left footed. Could be some sort of weird 3atb plan?
2-2 FT. Just not good enough. Wonky starting XI did well for half an hour, then slept through the rest of the game. Had enough chances and got in good enough positions to put it away, but failed to do the job.
No extra time don’t forget, it’s straight to pens. So Reguilon is on purely for that, should’ve been Scarlett in my opinion.
We had 9 attempts ... against a very very poor team. To put it in perspective... Villa had 10 attempts away to Chelsea.
No denying that Ndombele has had a part in everything - Scored our first - Lost possession in midfield but Skipp recovered it for our second - Failed to challenge at a corner for Dendoncker's goal - Gives the ball away in midfield for the equaliser - Deflected off him for Neves' shot which hit the bar
