    Morgan is OK in attack, but it's hard for him to defend with Bolingoli behind. Hayes on- that's at least an experienced player. Edouard has been incredible in hold-up play.

    Hayes for Bolingoli.
    Shved for Morgan and switch Forrest to the left.

    Brown and McGregor need to step it up as well.

    Thought that was Boli getting a red card when Morgan got booked, shat it :56:

    Think we are playing well minus Boli, Hayes come on for him surely at HT.

    They look dangerous from corners if we can defend them we can get a another goal and win this.

    Forrest and Morgan are looking well up for this.

    Left side of our team is out of its depth.

    I'll probably get slated for not giving him a chance, and in the interest of being balanced, his engine and pace is impressive, but Boli is honking.

    Tbf if Boli could play football he would be an absolute monster and not £3m.
    Aye going forward or at the back? :giggle1:

    Don't worry I know the answer - both!

    Why are we playing the game straight into their hands? We need to slow it down and have some possession, wear them down a bit and then strike. We are playing the equivalent of Aberdeen and we're making it harder than it should be

    We've looked quite dangerous when we've got in behind their midfield, and we've done it a few times, but we've not really made it count.

    Boli is having a bit of a nightmare. Hesitant to judge him too early but I'm not a big fan of what I've seen so far. Maybe he just needs time to settle.

    Eddy and Forrest only ones performing at the moment for me, Christie had a couple good runs early but anonymous since. As most have said, Boli and Morgan off at HT. I'd have Hayes and Shved on.

    Strange strange half..

    So poor at the back but so are they..

    Ridiculously open and too much so for us. We can keep it tighter and still expose them but they're big hope from what I'm seeing is whenever we attack or go up for set pieces, then break on us..

    Would take both the booked boy's. More because they've been poor..

    Boli has to come off. They're targeting him and he's another tackle away from walking here..

    Get Hayes on and maybe Ntcham and stick McGregor out left..

    Wasn't a great half by us but vital goal and we've shown enough that we can win this. Hopefully our youthfulness tells. They definitely dropped off more as the half wore on..

    Not too bad I don't think, open enough game so we could get another goal.

    Morgan I thought should have barged that guy in the middle to stop the breakaway, a smarter and more experienced player like a Brown would have done it. Bolingoli taking a bit of blame but I don't see what he could have done really was a well weighted ball in behind him.

    Edouard should impose himself a bit more in the air, Morgan started slow making a slack pass or two in the final 3rd but started to beat guys as the game was going on.

    They don't seem to be too great, aren't putting us under much pressure but always the chance of them scoring especially from set peices where we are still garbage.

    well bolingoli aint a defender that is clear

    the israeli boy on the other side is showing him how to play as a defender in europe

    thing is its not his fault we signed him and the talk i heard was he was more of a right sided midfielder than a fullback
