pete101 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Brazil are playing Peru at 1am Not sure it will be on any normal platform but should be found online somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Watching it now on bet365. Doug hit lovely crossfield ball to Richarlison but Firmino missed a good chance. Brazil are 1 down so will be a pretty good watch as Peru are pretty good on counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Was thinking who the hell wrote that S*n article as it was pretty well thought out for that publication and within third paragraph it was "yep that's Tim Vickery's work." Great football writer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranavfc Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Brazil trailed twice but now lead 3-2, Neymar with two penalties. Didn't see the first but the second looked soft. Dougie playing on the left hand side of a midfield 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kieranavfc Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Was thinking that myself, from Grealish and Watkins to Neymar and Firmino, bet the poor lad can't wait to get back to B6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted October 14, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 Another 90 minutes last night. I didn't think I'd be complaining about Brazil over-using one of our players but here we are. A strange year. 8 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage of the season I'd say he's young enough to be benefiting from playing extra games. Won't be the case long term so hopefully we get a chance to rest him at times this season. It's a blessing in disguise that Grealish isn't liked by Southgate, as he's going to need protecting this season more so than Dougie. Love that we have this problem compared with the issues of yesteryear. Edited October 14, 2020 by MrBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst Brazil players on the pitch imo were Marquinhos and Caio , who both got done for Peru goals. Coutinho and Firmino were also disappointing. A couple of times I thought he could have done better tracking a midfield runner but he spent most of the game covering for the LB who was pushed up like a winger and didn't seem to have much interest in getting back so maybe a little harsh. Gave away a lot of soft fouls too, although that's not limited to him as I don't think I've ever seen a game with so many freekicks. Early on he played a good pass over the top to Richarlison who headed it down to Firmino a few yards out which probably should have resulted in a goal. Watching that Brazil team I think he'll become an important player. They have so many players that always want to dribble with the ball and often lose it that it's important they have one more passer sitting deep with Casemiro. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd misplaced pass early on but he played very well afterwards. Looks like he's going to be first choice in Brazil midfield now, playing more of the box to box role he did when he first came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason I was probably being a bit harsh about his tracking back as with us he's playing in a very disciplined way to protect our defence but was pushing on a lot for Brazil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodi is supposed to play as a winger so Neymar can drift like Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 He's back in the country now, hopefully the fact that our game is late and on Sunday will minimise the effect of any jetlag he's feeling from flying so far east to get back here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
