Jesus, I thought that was in.

I’d say we’re the better team overall, they haven’t really looked like creating a chance whereas we’ve had one great one and a lot more pressure overall. Desperately missing a truly creative player in there. Bazunu very impressive so far in commanding his area and making good decisions. Knight some nice touches too. I think we might switch to 4-3-3 to try and create more second half.
Jeez, this is frustrating to watch. Bazunu proving his worth, and Coleman, not sure I think much of anyone else. Lots of the ball, making bad decisions with it constantly.
pretty depressing that we now have to discuss who has been the "better team" after 45 minutes against Luxembourg
Bazunu > Travers
Tippy Tappy for the sake of Tippy Tappy can get old very quick. Why not mix it up occasionally ! If you are going to be Tippy Tappy all the time then that makes it very simple for the opposition. I am not saying long ball all the time ! !
Crying out for a quality No.10. Very good first half for Bazunu, he has looked confident and assured in everything he's done. Its gitten a bit pedestrian at times and Collins playing like a flat track bully. Connolly would've been ideal for this game.
I've been impressed with Browne, but other than that, we look like we're sleeping out there. Luxembourg deserve to be one up on us at the half. You can't give away possession the way we are and get away with it.
It's poor. Luxembourg look shakey at the back. We should be piling on the pressure here to get the goal. Only did it for a spell around 35 mins. Still, it's international football and I'll take any kind of a 1-0 win.
Very hard to judge based on the opposition in fairness - Luxembourg aren't putting us under the pressure Serbia were, and it helps a keeper settle into the game. But Bazunu's done ok, one awful pass aside that nearly went out for a throw in line with the penalty area.Quote:

Whatever happens I don’t want to hear Luxembourg are a good side.
Buzunu the only positive.
Hook Collins & Stevens.
dreadful stuff. huge 45 mins for SK.
i think we'll get there but it might need a pen.
I thought Browne looked tired and sloppy at times.Quote:

It's a shame dan crowley isnt onboard. I know he is on the bench at the moment but so are half our lads. He would be the type of player who could open up a team like Luxembourg.... tbh even old wessi would do better in the final third today then what's been seen here so far
He had that poor corner and the wojus follow-up cross from it that almost hit our half-way line. It's only one incident from the half, but it's the one that sticks out with me.Quote:

It feels like every time we turn over the ball and have the chance to press the attack, we're passing backwards within seconds.
