Can’t believe nobody has mentioned that ball from Benson. Wait until you see it. Must have been 50 yards dropped on to Sibbick’s marauding run in to space down the right, brilliant touch to carry the ball to the edge of the box and drilled it in to the bottom corner across the keeper. Seriously, what a pass!
What a FANTASTIC ball from Josh Benson. Not a hopeful punt but s perfect flighted ball to feet. Then Messi gets his first goal for the Reds!
I heard a rumour that Paul Conway had arranged personal terms with Messi. Messi said “where will I be playing?” Conway said “you will be competing for a place in the starting line up with Toby Sibbick”. Messi “I am signing for PSG, I don’t want to sit on the bench”
I was gonna post how rubbish we’ve been on second balls till Sibbick scored ! I’m glad I didn’t as I’d have felt a right megger
Think Woodrow has been way more involved and effective than many games last season. Really intelligent footballer and being used the right way to bring Morris in to play, who incidentally has looked a threat all game. Frieser started like a rocket, drifted out of the game, but did score what looked like a super onside goal that involved all three forwards.
If you’re playing against a line striker and you have a back three you can afford for the wide CBS to take a chance going forward. Providing it isn’t the same time as the wing backs. The smartest way to get numerical advantage further up the pitch.
We finished two places above Cardiff last season and got properly turned over at their place as well. We’ve been well in this game from the first minute and currently drawing, knowing that our squad will only get stronger once players are up to speed. Some people might be saying we’re doing better than we really are, but we’re definitely playing better than the perception you’re giving too.
