Dinamo Zagreb (H) - Thurs 9th Dec, 8pm

OldCastleSwift

Good play from Longelo but Fornals slows the move down and loses the ball. Frustrating.

thornburyiron

He lost the ball because Yarmo ran offside so he couldn’t make a pass

Probably surprised Yarmolenko ran at all.

We’ve done alright here. They’ve hit a worldie but otherwise all the youngsters have settled down well.

OldCastleSwift

Baptiste's touch is great for an 18 year old centre back.

OldCastleSwift

Perkins struggling to get into the game but isn't getting much from the three grown ups behind him.

alderz

Fornals looking very off the pace tonight. His passing has seemed really forced.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Fornals seems to have caught Antonio-itis.

OldCastleSwift

Can we swap our No7 for theirs?

is it on the radio?

No, and I just double-checked.

I'm getting a bit annoyed now, because I haven't got BT and I actually really like listening to football on the radio. You can get on with stuff and still enjoy it. TalkSport have the radio rights and I could sort of understand when we got bumped by Rangers a few times, but tonight we're the only later British kick-off and they've chosen not to play us! They'd previously played both early and late matches, so I assume they're allowed to.

They should be 4 or 5 up at the moment. It really is men v boys.

OldCastleSwift

All a bit untidy now. Nothing sticking upfront and no real quality on the ball.

Yeoldhammer

No one to hold up play and we cant play through the lines.

Zagreb attack > Cleared > Hoofed > fail to retain ball > Zagreb attack

I think this is a bit of an exaggeration.

Longelo has looked good.

Seriously? Is this a genuine comment?

PrestonHammer

I've just seen Longelo's full name on his shirt. That could be a very expensive shirt for a kid st Christmas hahaha

Yeoldhammer

he's not wrong Zagreb could rack a few up here. Were clinging on, Vlasic / Yarmolenko / Noble / Fornals have been very underwhelming as senior pros. Perkins is pretty much anonymous and the U23 back line is doing its best.

Very much second best and fortunate to not be down by more.

yoyo

This is where Kral, Yarmo and Vlasic have to step up and help the kids out

MrsGrey

Ashby has a very tidy haircut.

thornburyiron

They’ve blasted at least 3 over the top which had we done it we’d have moaned.

EXETERHAMMER

Perkins played for Leyton Orient when he was younger than he is now.
Great commentary.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

How can Noble get a corner that wrong.

Dodger58

We haven’t missed Nobe’s corners !!

alderz

Noble’s corner 🤦🏻‍♂️

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Doubt we'll see a re

Tbf our first team are only championship standard.....

alderz

All the adults have been very poor. Perkins has been quiet but his link up play has been good when he’s dropped off

alderz

Why did Yarmo shoot from there?!

alderz

Ok I’m going to the cinema now, have fun

OldCastleSwift

Yarmolenko is a liability.

First half flew by really. Youngsters have done well, but like alderz says, the grown ups have been pretty disappointing to say the least.
