brilliant from tav. him and Morelos are gems

[Gaffer 1,665]

Terrific cross from Tav for that goal.  Morelos is such a great player though.

Has Jones actually got past the full back yet? Very pedestrian so far from us. 

Jones made a good run then put a decent ball into the box no one took advantage of. But we have an away goal now. Keep it tight at the back and we're on our way.

[Gaffer 1,665]

As predicted, this team is very good and are very comfortable on the ball.  They're also a threat every time they go forward so this is an excellent test for our defence.  I expect Arfield will be subbed fairly early into the second half.  He doesn't look sharp yet and the game is crying our for someone's with more pace on that side.  This is a really good performance against a tough team.

Cool. I've got family over so I m dipping in and out of the game

[ranger_syntax 4,253]

Looking forward to more counter attacks.

[Frankie 8,529]

Fairly happy with that.

 

Both teams were rather wasteful for the first 20mins or so before the Danes had 5-10mins of making a few half-chances which we coped reasonably OK with.

 

After that we started to impose ourselves on the game and got our flair players on the ball before taking the lead with a fine goal: patient build up play, a superb cross and a fantastic header.  

 

Not much between the teams though in what is quite an open game.  Lots of hard work ahead if we're to maintain this lead.

[Rousseau 10,489]

Jones hasn't beat a man all night, but strangely, he has put in a fair few decent crosses.

 

We're solid defensively, and look capable of creating chances without actually doing so, or at least not often. 

 

We started tentatively, and grew into the game.

 

A good goal from Morelos gives us a crucial away goal.

We look like a good European side tonight, patient, solid and dangerous on the break, excellent first half. Stunning delivery by Tav and a great header by Alfredo
