Could be 4-4-2 with Ambrose in midfield or some kind of 3 at the back set up. Not too enthused by the lineup - lacks a bit of guile - but crucial to have Hooper restored.
2-1. Stokes from a short corner routine involving Forrest, Hooper and then Forrest again. Stokes pulled to the back post to head Forrestās cross home.
He has shown signs of improvement on last seasonās showing, he has regressed since he first joined us however. You are really stupid for failing to grasp that.
Ambrose has been shit in midfield today. Stokes outperforming Hooper today so youād think heād have to be a shoe-in to start against Juventus in midweek - you would think.
Forrest and Ledley have been very good. Both goals created by Forrest after assisting in midweek too. Ledley has been excellent with and without the ball and weāre playing some decent football when Stokes drifts wide and Hooper drops deep. A very sloppy goal to concede and weāre conceding poor goals too regularly lately. Need to keep getting Forrest on the ball as heās beating the full back all ends up.
WTF? Stokes has been our best attacker today, maybe Lennon is resting him for Juventus, if he doesnāt start then itās another piece of retarded management by Lennon.
Poor second half but did enough to progress. Izaguirre was way below par throughout and the performance level of the entire team dropped off after we played quite well in the first half. We didnāt retain possession well enough and invited too much pressure on ourselves. We look a bit stretched with the injuries to Lustig, Brown and Mulgrew and arenāt in the best of form heading to Turin.
Lennon thought Ambrose had a good game. Is he on drugs? If this man believes that along with what he said about Hooper during the week then there is no way he is a fit an proper person to manage a football team.
