It's Your Round Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Good half, I really enjoy watching us dominate games. The speed at which be can break and cut through teams is a joy. McGinn has been immense, Tielemans has played well too. That tackle from Cash was outstanding. I think we need to work on the link up between Cash and Diaby on the right hand side though. Diaby seems isolated and Cash is struggling to play him into space. Would like to see Watkins grab a goal, but as long as we win I’m happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoyman Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Diaby might get more space in the second half when they have to attack us a bit more. Also that's the 2nd home game in a row where the opposition has scored an OG because of Diaby, so he's taking up good positions. Pretty perfect performance so far, exactly the right blend of urgency and patience. Please keep a clean sheet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Great stuff by us but you just know the first card of the match will go to one of our players for something completely innocuous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Ballerz fc That was a great 1st half. We need to go for a 3rd then get kamara and luiz off asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian_Angel_M Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Beautiful if unspectacular first half, exactly showing that structure Unai keeps talking about is what will take us far this season. Get another and then get Moreno on to see how's his fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 This has been on par to Celtic in the SPL. Total domination, not necessarily thrilling, just a mammoth gulf in class. We aren't even out of first gear. It's been quite dull but nice to watch players like Torres and McGinn play with an absolute cigar on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Fulham aren't a great side and they lack any goal scorer. Hopefully we can keep control of the game in the second half. Need to keep the focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Really good half, good performances across the team. Midfield dominant, Konsa and Cash with some key defensive work, not quite fallen for Diaby/Watkins yet but they occupying defenders and the midfielders getting chances from that. Hopefully add a 3rd shortly after break and can cruise out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Just now, bobzy said: We're a proper side. The odd defeat will happen (like Forest), but we're just a proper side. Teams aren't going to like playing us - particularly at home. This has been utter domination so far. 100%. We created enough chances and had possession of the ball in their box more than enough to win against Forest too. Sometimes it just doesn't go for you. But the way we are playing now is superb. Teams will hate playing against us. Press and we pass the ball around you, don't press and we hit the space behind you. It is also hard work chasing the ball and players, with little respite because we win it back so quickly and / or because we compress them into so little space that there's never time for them to slow it down. Quite incredible given where we were a little over 12 months ago. Proper, proper team now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I'm critical of him recently but this another 45 mins of Diaby really not being involved. Think that's a bit unfair. He's pretty much involved in both goals (Robinson doesn't score an own goal if Diaby doesn't make that run; Diaby challenges for the ball which falls to McGinn's feet) and had a decent effort early doors - possibly should've done better, granted. We've been excellent all over IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Tielemans and McGinn have been superb. Digne seems to struggling a bit but could probably do with a rest. Only gripe is how wasteful we are in the final third but so dominant yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how good we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
