20 minutes gone and we have 11 players playing well and looking up for it tonight. Phillips and Forshaw bossing midfield, Struijk looking good at LB Raphinha and James scaring them out wide. So far so good
we have to stop the runners because they are starting to open that red sea again we need to get tighter. nowt in the game so far
As long as you have a hand on someone's back it is always a possibility of a foul Coooooooome oooooooon Leeeeeeeds
Well, at least we are playing better than our last game. We need to be more on goal and not so much tippi tapping
Really good first 15 minutes. Once our initial energy ran out we started playing long and as individuals and not as a unit. Palace look more threatening with their forwards than we do with ours. Saying that...0-0 is probably a fair reflection. Hopefully we don't come out half asleep in the second half as we have done regularly this season.
Anyone see Southgates wife!!!!! how the fck did he pull that. Not joking over Forshaw, he is head and shoulders above Phillips. Be interesting to see when Amigo is going to hook Roberts, enjoyed the South stand chanting for Bamford.
Cooper had a bad half. A miscontrol, a needless foul, two indecisive corners given away, done for pace. I'm a bit concerned about him not quite handling the pace of this game.
