With the exception of Bobb who has been awful, this has been by far the best performance we've seen under AA

Agreed. 

That last 20-25 minutes just seemed to be us turning the ball over in the middle of the park and then starting wave after wave of attack

[AnOldBrownie]

Good showing that, Bobb just doesn't seem up to it, almost seems shy to get stuck in to tackles too...

Nothing against him.   Hell, in La Liga he's be a good player.  Good with the ball at his feet.

But he's not physical enough in the EPL imo. 

[SuffolkWhite]

Having watched the 1st half I think we look solid, would good if a few of our midfielders took a shot from time to time. 100% improvement so far.

[FFC In Oz]

How is Affengruber looking?

Turned it over early with an iffy pass, but he's grown into it and looked pretty solid next to Bassey.  hasn't had to do a great deal just yet

[Bassey the warrior]

Excellent performance from us, we've more than held our own. Looking good at both ends of the pitch.

In defence, Affengruber is having some debut, his anticipation is very impressive. Castagne has clearly been told to be more conservative in his attacking to nullify Barcola, which by and large he has.

Decent shout for a penalty too, also that chance for Muñoz was never a corner.

How is Affengruber looking?

He made one poor pass early on that led to an Isak chance, but otherwise, he's been faultless, imo.

Small sample size, but looks like an upgrade on Andersen to me.

[Bassey the warrior]

How is Affengruber looking?

Looking great, he's made a number of interceptions to snuff out a chance, not put a foot wrong so far.

[AnOldBrownie]

How is Affengruber looking?

I wouldn't say he's fast...but he plays agile.  Lower center of gravity and enough pace to stay with a man to man target.   He looked confident.

I'm watching his decision making.   Nothing bad so far.

[Fulham 1879]

Good half but Bobb looked like he had a small engine. We counterattacked with 5 minutes to go and he just had no energy to get up the pitch and walked instead. He also offered Castagne no support defensively.

[Bassey the warrior]

Interesting tactical change that Castagne isn't really bombing forward, instead Bobb is staying close to the touchline. Robinson and Bobb the main wide players. Though plenty of fluidity.

[Leevis]

Anyone got a decent stream?

[WindyCity]

Virgil needs to stop whining like a little B

Its great they are whining, cause we are frustrating them so much right now, long may they keep complaining instead of focusing on the game

Ha.  I still remember that chump whining and crying after Muniz schooled him and scored the goal.  Big baby

[akf]

I dont think Bobb has been all that bad.

He needs that advice that TC got early on - people will take you on and take you down and not get called for it. Expect it and move on.

[AnOldBrownie]

Good half but Bobb looked like he had a small engine. We counterattacked with 5 minutes to go and he just had no energy to get up the pitch and walked instead. He also offered Castagne no support defensively.

For the most part...this has been Bobb in every game I've seen him play in the EPL.

He didn't play a bad game.   Had a decent cross...but if Liverpool's left back challenged him I'd be worried.    If Bobb were going up against Jedi... I'd say Jedi would get by him every time.

IMO that means he's not good enough.

[Simunch]

Really like what I've seen from Affengruber(that one poor pass aside). Much more solid defensively than Andersen and looks significantly faster.

Is this David Affengruber's Premiership match debut? I presume it is.

Our defence seems much better today.

[AnOldBrownie]

First 10 minutes will be a worry.

Small sample size, but looks like an upgrade on Andersen to me.

Nothing against Affengruber, I think he's having a very good game, but Boris Johnson would be an upgrade on Andersen.

[Milo]

Get Kevin on for Bobb. He wants more game time so let's give it to him.

[LPNCanadian]

I'm feeling anxious about the first few minutes after halftime, as it's been our weakness this season so far.
