    Belgium will be raging over that. You can't get time to take the ball down in the six-yard box.

    Belgium's problem though!

    Looks like my post earlier was the kick in the backside they needed. Way better since!

    Can't remember the last time I saw a half of football flip so dramatically. Couldn't get a touch of the ball the first 30, and then much the better side for the rest of the half.

    Was it SkStu? I'd like to think it was Henry on the telly that caused it

    The first 30 minutes of that was hard to watch, as the (second string) Belgians were in total control while barely breaking sweat.

    Then it was like a switch was flipped somewhere, and we started attacking, and actually posed them a few problems.

    Exactly my thoughts and the deflection was poor given mignolet had it covered and two defenders behind him, still well done to ogbene taking the chance

    Ok early on. Then Belgium scored and completely dominated up to the half hour. The equaliser came from our first spell of persistent pressure and possession. From that point to the end of the half we looked the better team. Some good moments from Knight and McLean although final balls let them down. Cullen solid as ever and Egan at the back. I like how Knight is always playing on the half turn and trying to make something happen. Robinson fairly quiet, Ogbene was too up to the goal really, but won that free with his pace at the end of the half too.

    A half of 2 halves. The goal we conceded was brutal. From Duffy giving the ball away, Coleman defending terribly and Kelleher being flat footed. The ball wasn't in the corner of goals and I'd expect keeper to save it, I think Bazunu would have!

    We were awful up to about 5 mins before the goal and it seemed like the crowd booing Henry actually lifted us. We were very good for last 20 mins.

    Think Robinson has been anonymous and I'd replace him with Parrott or Keane for 2nd half.

    Ogbene I just don't understand, I don't really rate him but he's effective for us

    Looking at the Belgian goal again. I can’t understand why Coleman doesn’t step out. He’s 5 yards behind everyone. Two steps forward and the ball to Bashuyai isn’t on. Then he’s very slow to move his feet when he tries to show him the outside. Just poor all around.

    Well impossible to definitely say but inclined to agree. Bazunu has saved better shots for us, without question. It wasn't travelling fast, it wasn't outside the post.
    Maybe it'll settle the Kelleher tub thumpers down a bit, they're both young, they're both human, they'll both have ups and downs.

    I’d give Kelleher a break on that to be honest. I think the fault lies with Coleman and I think he blocks Kellehers line of sight. Plus Batshuayi took the shot so, so early.

    Denayer denies us, appropriately enough.

    Really should have done better there though.

    Another good performance from Hendrick. Delorean needs to pull out his 5 mins reel he could definitely triple that now
