Ozil's up for it tonight! That move he nearly pulled off splitting those 2 defenders. Doesn't get silkier than that.
HT 2-0. Fun half. If we come out and try to sit on (manage) that lead we'd be fools. That last play by them where they had a wide-open sitter and sky'd it into row Z is all the impetus we need to keep going for more goals!
I wasn't watching closely the first 10 mins of 2T. But I noticed they had quite a few dangerous forays/shots. Have we backed off our pressing/intensity? Or was it just a random phase that Napoli owned? Edit: just as I write tat Ramsey tries to do what he did around the same time in 1T. And then Nacho heads just a bit high. COME ON!
How the hell did ted knutson see him every week at Ipswich? Sounds like bs He played rw there and showed great potential
They merged the two, but IIRC he ran the analytics side as a collaboration between Brentford and Midtjylland.
From the readings it seems the side need to pick it up a bit lest they allow Napoli back into the match. C'mon, lads! Let's do this!
And then right back down the other end, the miss their second wide-open sitter. We are INSANE if we don't try really hard to get a 3rd goal.
Yeah I had the same reaction. But I guess he's just managing his minutes so that he can play this weekend.
Kola's shown a lot of energy tonight. Jitty can tell us if it's due to EPO. And although he's a one-trick pony with runs down the flank then cutbacks/crosses, he's been reasonably dangerous. Net positive I'd guess.
This ref is calling everything as a foul. No flow to this half at all. 16 fouls for us in total, 5 for Napoli.
