Great performance I thought, and on any other given day we win that comfortably if we take our chances. There were good stages in the game that we dominated but yet didn’t put the ball away. The changes to the team were quite clever I thought from marti. Paal back into a natural left back role for him, although he was poor. And the change in midfield , varane out and Morgan in worked as well. The plan for that was clearly to use Morgan’s fresh legs and workrate to get tight and press on sissoko, their highest calibre player and given the time and space would have effected the game but the press was constant and worked.
Some absolute sitters that just need to be taken if we’re to get more wins. Onto the game next week against Norwich on Saturday and I’m feeling fairly confident after that performance. They score a lot but also ship a lot. I think the team will be the same , just the only change , varane coming in for field and having Varane and Morgan sitting centrally with Madsen just in front. Should hopefully see a midfield performance at home similar to the one against Sunderland where they were all great. |

Madsen I thought had one of his better games for sure. Definitely good signs to come just needs to settle. The performance was a positive, just need a ounce of luck and the draws will turn into wins. In regards to Morgan, he was brought on as a “10” to try and create something but also his energy, and pressing, no one else does that or covers the distance he does. Wasn’t his best game for sure but we have to remember he’s just 18 and he’s a holding midfielder not a 10. Look at Sunderland at home, Morgan and Varane had over 70/80 touches of the ball each and completely dominated Jobe and Co. That’s the partnership from a footballing perspective,a defensive and strong player in Varane who’s improved loads lately and then Morgan from what I’ve seen in the holding midfield area is up there with one of the best passers on the team when playing in his natural position.As someone said earlier , field only had 30 odd touches (hiding) never gonna dominate games with them stats, look at the stoke holding midfielder, over 90!. We will be fine, hopefully 3 points on Wednesday. |
