31. Mo with a good tackle, dispossession and pass to start the transition attack.

 

34 Action is very fast pace and physical. Mo with a good save on a poor pass

 

Mo with a good tackle just on his box to break up an attack but gives it back with a poor pass on transition.

 

. 1-0
Semih's first goal this season.

 

40. Looks like a handball penalty v Bursaspor. Replay looks like a very bad call. Down 0-1

 

Thanks for the PBP, fellas!

 

Edu gives decent passes

 

I dunno. When one has their arm out like that, they're asking for it, even if they have turned their back on the ball.

 

Mo good trap dribble turn and 20 yd release down right flank to streaking wing to start the break.

 

Btw -- I'm watching an OK stream from atdhe. I couldn't get video from the link in the first post, even after inserting a "." before "com".

 

First half over.

Mo looks very good. Defended well, won all of his duels and surprising looked very confident on the ball in tight spaces and made some very nice passes on the move.

It is a very fast paced match. Bursaspor does look to be a transition attack team as magic's scouting report stated. Without their starting 4 up front for this match they do look a little unsure in the final third.

 

A few Edu-esque mispasses but a pretty solid half.
I think he's starting to come into his own & he'll do quite well in Turkey. I think the Stoke failure was good for him. He could very well end up being a watered down example of what Bradley did after his failed stint with another EPL outfit in Villa.

 

I would say a very good and very confident first start in his first week at Bursaspor.

 

Well Bursaspor GK just let in a deflected chip where he caught the ball and stumbled into the goal?

 

Speechless after that Fenerbahce goal...

 

That I would like to see.

 

69: Mo looks a little tired. Bursaspor GK with a god reaction save on a header. Does not make up for his goal on the chip.

Edu with a good hard dribble drive but pass a little too hot for his RM.

 

77: Mo gets ball at mf dribbles by 2 defenders but gets stopped by the 3rd. Does he think he is Freddy Adu?

 

Almost got an assist off a through ball at the end. Unfortunate to have keeper save it.

 

86; 0-3. Counter through the middle. Have to think a fresh and fit Edu would have been in the middle to break up that play.

Edu fouled on a hard dribble drive up the middle.
Edu with a hard dribble and pass to start an attack.
Edu with hard dribble down the middle and a great through ball. Teammate hits it wide, should have been a goal and assist to Mo!
