Ajeti makes the bench
Need a win here before the plastic.
Not just a win, Need a performance …
Is scales injured or dropped?
I would guess dropped.
Close one there. Nearly benefited from that wild swipe.
Abada misses a big chance. Our press is much better this evening. Still relying a little too much on crosses for my liking.
Needed Starfelt and Hart to be sharp there defensively.
Has to be finishing that.
Not an awful start overall, O’Riley looking better again
Hatate is having a poor game again
A better performance than the weekend. Certainly pressing them better and we were moving it quickly. But we’re pushing it wide too often I think and don’t have our wide players or the #8s rotating back inside enough.
Juranovic has been really good. Hatate looks like he’s lost confidence with some of his passing and decision making around their box. Jota looked off form but he’s come into it a bit more. Maeda has done some amount of work but not really getting a sniff of goal bar a few very awkward headers.
I’d like to see us releasing Jota a bit to play more centrally too. He is still getting by players out on the wing but that’s exactly where they want him beating players. It will be more difficult for him if he comes inside but he doesn’t need to be successful all the time. Need to take a few more risks on the ball around their box.
Worrying last 15 mins of the half i thought. Hatate, Jota and Abada sloppy enough
Huge 45

He took that well. Need that sort of instinctive shooting in the box against these teams that crowd the area.
Abada wasn’t having a good game but he showed good feet to win the free for that goal.
