What happened to the whole "the contact continues into the box" shite from literally the other week

Great first half that, hopefully we can keep it going. The system is working perfectly.

If Tino is fit to start, I wouldn't be surprised if Krafth is right back, Tino left back tbh. Hall on the bench.

Excellent refereeing that like, 99% of refs would've made the easy call to just give the home team a penalty there

This would be nice but I don't think Howe will do it, probably weakens our options off the bench a bit too much.

I think it's at least partially because the defensive line isn't right due to Pope being out too. We aren't able to compress the play as much and we end up with defenders being isolated. I think width has become a bigger element of the game in the PL in general again this season too, it seems like every team has a rapid right winger now, probably to exploit the fact that most of the LBs in the league are shite.

He played like a 19 year old who has started in that position a handful of times in his career. He has the toolset, he just needs the experience, especially when it comes to judging when to press and when to jockey.

That's never ever a foul for me like, certainly not enough to overrule the on field decision.

Darren Ambrose isn't it?

He did aye. He doesn't do it consistently though. Any midfielder in the country can do it once in a while coming off the bench.

Give him a run in the team until the end of the season, let him find his feet (assuming they haven't fell off). Looks a talent and just needs some experience in the position, he has all the attributes to be a top full back.

Was the kind of challenge you'd expect to see from a young defender, not an old head. Really stupid.

Not sure how I feel about him still. His physicality is good and he is decent at driving with the ball at times, but I feel like he doesn't take the game by the scruff of the neck enough and doesn't really take as many risks as you'd want in the final third, both on and off the ball. I thought we looked more disjointed when he went off like, having said that.

The backline we had out when Hall went off is relegation battle material, not really a shock that we couldn't hang on to a clean sheet. Annoying how it happened though.

Heard Howe wants to play him at LB to keep Hall out the team, pass it on
