We’ve had decent spells, but they’re a good side. Our attacks are regularly breaking down with Bailey and Jimoh-Aloba. Tielemans and Watkins both look sharp.

Pity he’s not playing on Saturday

Thankfully Bizot doesn’t appear to be Olsen Mk.II

I'd love to know what people are seeing in Buendia beyond running around a lot.

Yep, he flatters to deceive. Can’t deny his effort but he’s not quite good enough.

He can create things but I find a lot does not come off .  If he had an extra yard of pace

Agree. Too many times he coughs the ball up cheaply.

Haven't changed my mind after watching him tonight. He is a good footballer but cannot defend. How many more chances for Moreno because Torres keeps going missing. Fact.
I think you will find that's Konsa's job.
  not at all, the chances have come from left centre back position i.e. Torres or should we say Pau.

Shirt sponsor

The Kaizen Foundation

The Kaizen Foundation is a Social Purpose Foundation, funded exclusively by Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world. It envisions to serve as a catalyst for positive change on a global scale in partnership with local communities, NGOs, private and public institutions.

Does anybody onwards why we haven't got Betano?

Certain countries don't allow sports betting already, so might have been the ones ready for UEFA.

We had the same sponsors last night.

Wondering how we'll fare in the Europa with Betano on our shirts?

Yep, if he got his final pass right he'd be a great player but far too often he just gets it wrong under little pressure.

Buzzes around like an annoying wasp. But one that hasn't a sting
(Watch him score/assist now).

I’m Martinez biggest fan but surely we should be giving Bizot minutes if he’s playing on Saturday
