Ball hits hand away from body, is usually going to be a pen.
Hmm. if we cannot trust him to keep possession against Limassol then there is no place for him in this side.
Saying that Poch should give him a few more minutes to pull his socks up before swapping him.
Did someone wrote Row Z on the bottom corner? Good pen, but why didn't Kane take it?

How many top strikers are selfless?Because Kane missed one?
Because Kane is selfless?
Because our manager wants more players to open their accounts for the season. It'll inspire more confidence.
That makes some sense. I'd still rather our main pen taker (in this competition, at least) got more practice. Especially after missing the first.When you're in a knock-out competition it's handy to have several players with real match penalties behind them. Different pressure(s) from training ground.
Paulinho's had a great game. The sort of all action midfielder type performance I've been hoping to see from him. Hopefully he can begin repeating that feat in the league.
I've been impressed with the fringe players tonight. Poch has clearly got his ideas across quickly and most of these players could slot seamlessly into the first team. My only concern would be central midfield where both Dembele and Sandro are so different from Poch's first choice pairing.

I agree. He looks a lot better when he is not played as one of the 2 in 4-2-3-1
Blimey, I'd forgotten all about poor Holtby. Be nice for his confidence if he could grab a quick goal tonight.
