There’ll be no pre-match blog-posting ahead of our final group stage Champions League fixture on Wednesday 29th January. Next up for me will be ahead of our extremely tough away clash with Arsenal on Sunday 2nd February.
A glance back…
It’s a good job we did though as both AFC Bournemouth and Newcastle United and in terrific form; especially some of their respective players.
Tough start yesterday and my stomach was literally churning for new signing Abdukodir Khusanov following his 3rd minute howler. I’m sure he’ll get a lot of support from his manager and teammates; he’ll learn from that, I’m sure, and it will most definitely act as a character-building moment. That incident aside, we still looked so easy to get through in the middle of the park in the first half and I really hope there’s a plan to bring in a specialist defensive midfielder by 3rd February; even if it’s on loan for the rest of the season.
Still, we showed spirit, determination and were prepared to mix up our play yesterday and it worked. Route one, on occasions, will do for me if it’s effective and is used, as I say, as an option when required. Earlier in the game, I liked the way we zipped the ball in far earlier from the flanks towards those running at goal. That’s more like it! 💪
See you next weekend and thanks, as always, for taking the time to click on and read.
