Well that first half was a very hard watch indeed. An absolute ****ing mess. Maddison absolutely ran the show and they really should have had a couple more. Corners were an abomination with DCR assigned to mark Solanke. What the absolute ****? I was delighted to get in at just 0-1.
But, bloody hell, that second half was excellent. We pushed five yards further up the pitch, and instead of one or two people pressing, they were all doing it together. It was sheer bloody mindedness and effort. I liked it, and so did the crowd. Completely silent for fifty minutes, they could see what a shift they were putting in and got right behind them. Once we had scored, Spuds absolutely shat their pants and I think that, but for the massive injury delay, we would have gone on to win that game- for a while we were by far the better side. Sadly the break killed us stone dead, assisted by taking off the simply outstanding Buonanotte and replacing him with the lazy lumbering oaf that is Bouba Soumare. What an absolute ****ing fatarse lazy **** he is.
Ndidi was dogbob, and DCR really wasn’t great, and Mads’ distribution was hideous.
But after that it’s all positives (second half especially). Justin was superb, as was Kristiansen. Fatawu (second half only) was excellent, and Winks commanded everyone. Superb cameos from Mavididi and Mcateer at the end. Shining light was, of course, Buonanotte. A potential superstar in the making there - be fascinated to see if he keeps it up.
Skipp in for Ndidi, Mavididi in for DCR, and that is not a bad little unit at all.
Desperately need another striker, though. A half fit Vardy was, I thought, pretty ****ing good - but he can’t do that every game, and we have no one else to bring on. ****ing get it done, FFS
First half shit. Second half superb. Points on the board. I’ll take that this season. Lovely stuff
