Pretty even first half with both teams looking dangerous on the break.

If Watkins first touch had been better then he could have had a hat trick in the first half.

Conversely Lile could have scored a few too so all to play for.

Sitting behind the bench and the story of the night has been a full on 30 minute argument between Unai and Ollie.  I have no idea what it was about but Unai was going nuts.  Definitely gonna be having words at half time.

Martinez is our most important player alongside Watkins.  That Lucy on the co commentary had it right. If anyone gets through Emi will save it anyway. He is such a huge presence . The Schmeichel of the 2020s

Nothing we can do about it, but Konsa's not got the pace to be RB. Either that or he's maybe 75% fitness because he's getting turned left and right.

Teilemans needs to be hooked. He's the primary reason the defence has been exposed. It was the same at the weekend. Bring on Diaby and move Mcginn back to play where Teilemans is trying to play

We're winning but have been poor in the final third, nearly every attack our final ball has been letting us down, with better decision making we could have had another two or three goals. They look vulnerable defensively, but we're not getting a hold of the ball enough to take advantage of that

We've looked terrible at the back, sloppy in midfield and lucky both players at each end of the pitch are on their game. For a side that looked great along the backline earlier in the season we are all over the shop. The defence is staggered with Carlos continually drifting into midfield. The midfield need to get their passing together, especially Teilemanns. McGinn needs to stop running about like a bull in a china shop.

Pretty poor half after the goal. If we don't shape up I can't se us holding onto the lead. Emi can only do so much on his own.

Either swap positions with McGinn and tielemans or bring Tim on. We are asking for trouble.

Loaning out Dendoncker was a mistake, we save peanuts on his wages and are left extremely short in midfield.

He's not great, but I have seen nothing from Tim so far to suggest he's any better

Think the problem is midfield more than defence. Just too easy to plsy through leaving the bsckline exposed.

The back four no matter who we put in there shambolic clumsy and can't do the basics never understand why always can see a goal coming.

So the problem is the midfield... the defence... and also the attack?

Not in control at all. They've bossed the ball and passed it better

Rogers from the sublime to the ridiculous. Carlos well off it. Low intensity I guess to save energy but we look very vulnerable in transition
