Yep, but he stopped the corner kick  :005:

If Christie is the answer f@cks nows what the question was

[Mince n Tatties]

Everyone keeps on about why Steven Sess isn't in the side, three managers now haven't really played him.
Is he any good?

The right side..along with MacDonald, looks overwhelmed.

Not impressed with Odoi or Christie.

The hate for Cyrus begins again.
Been better than most of the shi& so far tonight.

[sunburywhite]

RH flank opened up again like a tin of tuna

[grandad]

What has our dynamic MF done so far. Not seen any comments about them.

Its not hate, just clear observations

[Tabby]

The central midfield is completely overrun, making the defenders look worse in the process. There is no out ball.

We're also up against the same team that made it to the Champions League quarter finals mind.

[sunburywhite]

Even Odoi doesnt want to give it to Christie

Defensively?  Nothing.   But I think that would be MacDonald's only job..and he hasn't been doing anything.

Odoi was getting abused so Mawson switch to the right side...fouled player.

[F(f)CUK]

Wow. They missed from 2 ft out.

[sunburywhite]

Lucky to be only 0-1 at half time

[love4ffc]

Free kick blocked by Betts then off the bar then cleared off the line by defence player.  Complete Chaos. 

Betts is commanding his back line though I like that in him. 

[AnOldBrownie]

Opinions?

I didn't know MacDonald or Odoi were on the pitch.


Can't really tell how Joe Bryan did because every attack came up the right side.


It's Porto though.   They would beat every Championship side.

[EricB]

We don't have a midfield, just a group of players jogging to where the ball has just left.  Can't see that one player is putting any effort.  Betts prob best of a bad bunch, but this is poor.  I struggle to see any game plan.  It has got to get better as they get fitter, but they need to have some idea of how they are going to build an attack or defend as a unit.

[Mince n Tatties]

Odoi looked worst player on the park that half.😬

[love4ffc]

Team is sluggish.  Not a lot of connecting passes.  Back four not really working well together.  Betts is the best of the lot.
