So how is the deposed King doing?

So how is the deposed King doing?

Not bad not great

 

[Halmeister]

Mad how we're actually making a bit of an effort to win the ball high up and move off the ball, and we look a lot better. Strange that.

I'm fully expecting them to come out for the second half comatose after ten minutes listening to Slot, though.

 

[Squiggles]

It's not a slick performance, but at least we are trying stuff. It's not the usual side to side bollocks. If the opportunity to play is there, we're trying to take it.

 

[Shay_K]

Pos pen for us

 

[Modo]

Lovely by Gravy

 

[Modo]

Should be a pen though.
Nope shoulder

 

[Shay_K]

Nope free kick only

 

[Modo]

Don't let Salah take it

 

[Shay_K]

[Barnie78]

Smart!

 

[Shadey]

Slobz lad

 

[Shay_K]

Deserved

 

[Fabio]

That's beautiful stuff.

 

[Hansern]

Great goal by Szobo!

 

[Modo]

Just realised, no Gakpo! 🎉

 

[Markeh]

that’s why you need your draught excluder

 

[darkstarexodus]

Coutinhoesque.

 

[Fabio]

@Farkmaster free kick from szob, under the wall, keeper gets a hand but it's too much

 

[Shadey]

That was funny watching the wall jump over the ball.

 

[Hansern]

We played pretty well in that first half. More of the same please.

 

[rubans]

Been rather enjoyable game so far. Better than any PL I have seen lately.

 

[Fabio]

Half time

Even really. Both teams had chances, both teams mostly ineffectual in the final third. We've done enough to go in ahead though

 

[Barnie78]

Just realised, no Gakpo! 🎉

No Gakpo, go party...

 

[mark1975]

Very reminiscent of Gerrard's freekick where he did exactly the same thing.

 

[Frogfish]

Marseille are so open at the back. We'll get more chances to add to it.

 

[BishBashBosh]

Solid half, quicker passes more through the lines - higher pressing at times. Generally looked more dynamic on the ball.

Be great to put a couple more in and have a comprehensive win this season.
