For what it is worth I thought we started poorly, too many misplaced passes. I did think we were off the pace.
Davis and possibly Alfie doing his usual stuff got early pass marks but not setting the heather on fire.
Then we had two breakaways down the flanks, which might have reaped rewards.
Should Alfie have scored? He has to go for the far side post. But a piece of good shutting down by their goalie.
I think Roofe could have done better than he did a few minutes later down our right hand flank.
Then we get the breakthrough. A howler by their goalie, but stuck away with aplomb by Aribo who had been posted missing beforehand.
Their equaliser? If it was a foul, it was a soft one and for Barisic to be booked for it took the biscuit, especially when that De Plat?, had a worse tackle a few minutes later and was ignored.
My main contention is that it should have been one of the two central backs covering their goalscorer, not Barisic. That is not to say I'm exempting Barisic and Aribo from any blame.
We looked totally different in the second half, but going in front I don't get the two defenders fecking up the bouncing ball that led to their equaliser? A shambles.
But hey ho.
We have been magnificent defensivley in the league and no one can take that away from our defensive unit. BUT in the last three months, five shipped against Benfica, three shipped aganst St Boo and one against Hamilton in the manner it was, allied to the three last night tells me we still have many defensive frailties. My opinion.
For me the game last night changed with the introduction of Jack and Hagi.
On the debit side, I'm only on the PC over the last fifteen mintes or so. I don't know/haven't read updates on Tav's injury. Pretty ironic, given the fcukwittery of his young stand in last week!
On that same note, I sincerely hope Patterson and Bassey especially, looked up with their heads out of their hands last night wathcing that game and realised that they could have been a part of that marvelous and thrilling win.
I hope a cargo and a takeaway was worth it muppets.
