Great! Madueke is down (hand/arm injury?) and Saka is warming up. Edit: Looks like finger injury they can tape up. He'll probably continue?
I wouldn't mind, but Mikel likes to see players tough it out and play through adversity. Plus it's arguable that Noni needs to develop/prove his form more than Ethan does.
Indeed. Then he ran straight to the bench, which I always love to see. But strangely Mikel & Albert were deep in convo and gave Noni short shrift I thought. Hope he's not too offended!
Keeper was on that side of goal when the ball was struck and gets no where near it. I don't think he can make the save, but his dive is miles away from reaching the ball. Was he frozen? Should have done better is all.
And ANOTHER Raya save, this the toughest one yet. We're trying to make it to HT with our 1-0 lead! Edit: For some reason Merino was back covering our defense. And him being the slowest guy on our team really almost led to disaster.
HT BRU 0-1 ARS Lively first half. After Noni's wonder strike, Brugge definitely didn't give up. Several times they were close to equalizing. If you're critical you might even say we kinda limped into HT
Chelsea fans said we got someone who is an ok dribbler but can't score goals. Imagine how good he will be when he eventually finds the net
