DMAA

That was so similar to Midtjylland. Such a good side on the ball, but so weak and naiive defensively it was unbelievable. We outmuscled them all over the pitch. Everyone played so much better in the second half too which was good to see after some dodgy performances in the first half. A very welcome confidence boost for the team as a whole. 

Excellent from Jones, bad miss from Hagi, what a shame

That should have been a second yellow

12 minutes for Itten

Hagi has recovered well in the second half

Kent and Barisic off. Good for Jones and Bassey to get minutes

4-0, great header from Goldson

As expected we are outmuscling them a lot here

The two subs coming on are very attacking players. Kohlert a left footed attacking midfielder, Yeboah is another speed merchant. 

I would have been surprised if we didn’t score a headed goal against this team. Fantastic, Willem II have continued to be dangerous

Arfield needs to be more diligent in his defensive duties (again)

He’s much better played further forward. He’s best when the ball is being played in to his feet with his back to goal. We don’t have a choice tonight but he’s not a natural in this position. 

Great to be 2 up but I am still nervous here, we are very lucky not to have conceded. A few players aren’t performing. Hagi just can’t get going. Barisic has grown into it. Kent is doing really well. His energy and ability to win the ball back has been really important. 
 

I am a little worried that we don’t have a substitute centre mid though. We just look like we are missing Jack in there a bit. Or someone a bit more imposing. Kamara has been the best of the 3 of them though. 

Huge chance from Willem II, bad miss

Is that Kamara or Messi?

After a really poor start, Hagi did really well in the build up there, Morelos did very well to just take a shot considering the ground is so wet, and Kent did really well to anticipate the spill 

YESS

We needed that. They have been threatening and we have looked very nervous. Missing Jack. 

Goal Tavernier

Yes penalty. Clever from Kent. 

It’s been a really nervous start. Not looking good. 

Their right back is left footed and is the former Hibs player. We have to target him. 

Tom Miller hasn’t done his homework, keeps calling Nunnely Saddiki. 

I just jinxed the other game. Switched it on and they scored within a minute.

Surprised not to see Barjonas on the bench.

 

One suspects the manager is making a not so subtle point.

I’m more surprised to see Edmundson not even make the bench. I would be happy with him as emergency cover for defensive mid.
