Boyata back for the suspended Ajer. Weah starts in place of the injured Edouard. A full debut for Toljan and Bayo on the bench.
Why is Timothy Weah shortened to Timo and not Tim. Tim would be perfect.
A player request afaik.
He probably isnt aware of the Tims thing
Tim O’Weah.
I’d like to see Bitton begin to get a few starts as he could be needed more as the season progresses and will need to build up his sharpness.
He looked like he had a bit about him when he was at City in a few pre season games. Possibly lacking a bit of pace
Chhhrrriiissstttiiieeeeee
Toljan with the assist after finding himself in loads of space on the right. Nice finish from Christie.
Brilliant run from Sinclair there.
Completely dominant here but still only leading by one. Wonder save there to deny Boyata.
Bbbbuuurrrkkkkeeeeeeeeee
Fortunate with the finish but it was a good run off the ball and a well deserved two goal lead.
Who is playing through the middle lads?
Burke or Weah.
Burke. Surprisingly but it’s working well and Weah and Toljan are combining well.
Weah on the right?
Yeah.
Bayo about to come on but Izzy is injured here. Terrible tackle on him. Doesn’t look good at all. Stretcher coming and Hayes is the third sub instead.
Ah he looks fucked altogether. Very bad one on his shin.
Not good. Probably a good thing we kept hold of Hayes.
On your Bitton point from earlier. He’s our next choice centre back. He came on for Boyata a while back. I guess they can’t risk him too much by starting him after a long term injury because we need him to cover centre back.
