Victor Lindelöf

[FatSam]

He was out of position and then failed to cutout the pass.

He was trying to play offside, but the guys behind him played MGW onside I thought.

MGW ran from very deep, so was running against defenders who began from a standing start.  The real culprit (unfortunately) is the midfielder who let him run and didn't go with him - in this case, I think it was Youri.  Who was immaculate otherwise.  You could see from his body language on the replay that he was "shit, he was my man"

Yep Youri missed the run and Maatsen and a Buendia didn’t press the ball so they had all the time in the world to make the play. I’m sure there’ll be red faces at Unai’s Video review. Maybe Lindelof could have dropped deeper but sometimes you have to give the opposition credit. It’s no surprise Maatsen and Buendia were hooked shortly afterwards.

Buendia appeared, to me, to be struggling at that point. Neat and tidy on the ball but not closing down. Looked like he was limping too in the post match crowd clap.

I think the one bad mistake he made yesterday was failing to win a tackle he was first to the ball for.  Can’t remember the other player, we lost the ball in midfield and it broke towards Lindelof, who really should’ve cleaned the Forest player out.  They should’ve scored from that really.  Anyway, he’s doing well overall.

I'm sure by now they all know as soon as something like this happens that they're going to get a "this isn't meeting our demands" reminder in the review meeting. I also like to think this is what Konsa meant when he said "Morgan saved my life" after the West Ham game  (in the 'another one!' social media)

Ha, on the Lucas Digne ‘another one!’ clip you can hear Konsa say ‘Morgan saved my life’

Victory Lindelof, he is doing a great job.

[Ian.]

It was a sloppy goal to let in as we had complete control, it seemed to be number of errors.

Victor is doing a grand job in place of a very specialised player and someone so pivotal to how we play.

He is. Defo 3rd choice now ahead of Ty

[martin o`who??]

A clear stop gap signing when he first came to the club but his performances are definitely making him a viable competitor for a start even when Torres is fit. I think he definitely gets in ahead of Tyrone now. More physical than Pau, but Pau's distribution is better by far. Totally relaxed when I see his name on the team sheet now.

I don't think Youri could do too much, he was trying to press Anderson(?) then started to come back. Buendia had dropped back to cover the MGW area then started to move towards Baksh which pretty much left MGW free and he already had 2-3 yards on Youri when he curled his run. Maatesen needed to be tighter on Baksh before the ball was played to him as he was marking no one at the time and it allowed the pass to be inch perfect ahead of Lindelof as there was no pressure on the ball player.

It was always a shrewd signing, even though the timing (end of window, especially for an out-of-contract player) and context (Monchi) made it seem like thin gruel at the time.

At Yernited, he won silverware twice, and was a runner-up several times over, including twice in the league, over some 300 appearances. Fair bit of pedigree in there.

If they’re all fit Tyrone is just Pau’s back up I’d imagine, and Lindelof covers for Konsa.
