Onana with a double save that rivals the one at Palace. Absurd saves to keep it 1-0. Should be 2-1 Fener

Onana is having a quite good season. I know some people don't like to acknowledge it. lol.

Well we're winning at HT but we shouldn't be. Mazraoui at attacking mid has been sad trombone.
Showstopper

Yeah, I'd rather end the Mazraoui at 10 experiment. I like the player, but not his best role.

That said, Casemiro was probably on the bench for emergency duty since he was questionable before the game, so we probably just need to get through the game.

Onana double save was incredible

I'm happy for him to grow and prove me wrong. Unlike some goofballs who will hate a guy and never recognize when they improve, I really hope he continues on this trajectory.

Amad has played at least a bit at attacking mid in his career. Surprised he wasn't given the role or even Zirkzee over Mazraoui.

That is horrible from Lindelof. Woof. I was going to say he looked like a player who hasn't started in 2 months. I promise. Anywho 1-1.

Lindeloff, bro…

You know what Lindeloff should have done other than what he did?

Literally anything…

Jose sent off if anyone had that on their Bingo card.

Sent off to like the 2nd row of the stands? I'm not sure that's where they mean for you to go when you get sent off.
Showstopper

Apparently it is since they aren't doing anything about it. lol.

The rules on Managers being sent off have always seemed pretty toothless.

Pardon me while I beat this horse to death but really would like to see Garnacho's decision making improve if we're going to run half of our offense through him.

Antony on before Amad…
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Amad might come on yet. That Antony injury looked non-contact.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
5 minutes added on? The Antony injury by itself took 5 minutes.

Looked a lot better when we played a proper attacking mid. Does Erik realize he has to eventually win a EL game? Baffling decision to start with that lineup/formation.

We need to stop drawing games. It's 2/3 of a loss.

Garnacho literally rattled the crossbar.

And now made a hash of a 1v1.

We should have 3 inside of 15 minutes. I've seen this movie before.

We have to lead the league in "least shots attempted from big chances".

xG on that Dalot miss had to be at least .5

This team needs an assassin/poacher/finisher. Whatever you want to call it. It needs someone who can score.

I know those people just arent laying around begging for work or easy to find but you don't need a dozen of them. Just one.

Athletic's in-game stats had it at .24 I guess because a defender was back but there was no goalie in sight.

Anyway, ETH deserves some of the criticism he gets but his players aren't doing him any favors at either. This should already be over.
Showstopper

Has to be higher. Miss was so bad, John Terry would have been proud.

I stand corrected… I guess.

Nevermind it was upped to a .4 which feels a lot closer to reality.
Showstopper

That looked like it was destined to be one of our Benny Hill goal concessions…

This team…

Hojlund is probably our best finisher but yeah, I would peg him at slightly above average at the moment. Though I thought he did really well to create the only chance that fell to him in the first half.

Garnacho's finishing is a lot like Ronaldo's was a teenager at this age. Needs a ton of chances to get something resembling a good shot on goal. But also capable of an insane goal out of nothing. Which bodes well I guess if he follows the same path as Ronaldo from here but frustrating at the moment.
