Team in for tonight / Matchday thread Porto

[AnOldBrownie]

Good counter by Porto at the 12:35 mark.   Ball shouldn't have gotten so close to Fulham's keeper without getting cleared.  I'll have to rewatch to see whose fault it was.

Betts made a good block on a careless pass at the 15:40 mark

Another save at the 16:20 mark

Come on back line.

[AnOldBrownie]

20:00 mark...Alfie plays a good long ball out to the left.

Denis Odoi may be the shortest CB I've seen play in two english top tier leagues.


Free kick at 21 minutes was poor.

Has Odoi gotten shorter!? Or did this just now occur to you?

[TC's Sporran]

terrible freekick
corner a bit better
stefs touch is a bit heavy

[AnOldBrownie]

Kebano doesn't look overwhelmed.    Awww...Mawson had a chance from that corner...23 minutes.

[AnOldBrownie]

Betts may be man of the match so far.   His clearance at 24 minutes looked like it should have been offsides, but it wasn't.   


Handball on the Porto player?   25 minutes in?

[AnOldBrownie]

Is it me...or is Porto not getting behind our back line too easily?

[TC's Sporran]

yes clever handball
and then the same player cleverly fouls to prevent a breakaway

[Sting of the North]

Definite penalty. But rather dodgy decisions in these games.

[AnOldBrownie]

Betts is saving our ass.   Was the shot 27 minutes in on MacDonald or the back line not closing down?

[F(f)CUK]

Betts has made a couple of good saves. He has had to as our defence has put them in a couple of times. 0-1

[AnOldBrownie]

Wow...it was coming for the last 15 minutes.


Back line looks shakey as F....

[Sting of the North]

My impression is more that the midfield is non existent, at least defensively.

Hmmm...yeah... I still think the back line should do a much better job clearing balls out of the danger area though.

Corner to Porto, not dealt with by FFC very well.  Fulham's ball.

[F(f)CUK]

That should have been 2

[AnOldBrownie]

So, can Tim Ream play on the right side? (CB)

I'm sorry but I don't want Odoi as the starting RCB.  Not at all.

And yes, I know Porto is probably as good as any championship side.  I still want a better RCB.

[love4ffc]

Bad passing in the back four again results in corner kick to Porto

[Russianrob]

How good it is to see a decent goalkeeper again!

[Mince n Tatties]

Rubbish performance.... Sack the lot of them😝
