A much better second half. TC made all the difference and was either him or Harrison as MOTM. A good goal but I guilty see what Perera brings to the party. He never seems to be able to play a killer pass, if entry serves me well no goalsaand no assists.

Agree that Cairney looked very good. We miss that creativity at CAM. Pereira, despite his usefulness in other ways, just doesn't have the guile. I think Cairney should start against certain opposition.

I also liked Kebano after he came on. Supports my view that he is well-suited to be a 30min sub at this point in his career.

SF, I don't think that's necessarily true and the match speaks to that. We had a perfectly capable midfield without Chalo available which IMO, would make us much more competitive without sacrificing tactics. The players we could put in those positions, have all played there before and ultimately, negates the need to play a championship standard player in one of most important roles. Feels a no brainer to me.

I don't really agree with that at all. I think there's a slot of hindsight going on.

But I do agree with you in the way you wanted us to set up. It's what I would have preferred too.
I just think MS choice was at least understandable and not as clear cut as you say.

I would like BDR to play right back in the next game if Tete is still out

You clearly were not at the game today.... BSR abysmal
