MotM vs Lyon

[gisabeer 409]

Voted for barasic. Solid for the whe 90 minutes.

Connor Goldson for me. Solid. Borna should have done better to stop the cross for the own goal IMO. Harsh? Maybe. But it is what it is.

I went for Barisic, mainly due to his improved level of performance.  Last night he looked back to his (defensive) best.

 

Lundstram and Goldson played well too.

Kent for me, looked the biggest threat and they couldn't handle him for most of the game. Solid performances from Bassey, Borna, Kamara and Wright.

 

Not sure what people saw in Goldson, I was a nervous wreck every time he was on screen, and was caught napping a few times (as usual). The fact Dembele had an absolute stinker is probably relevant.

 

Anyway I was pleasantly surprised and comforted by our performance, even though our opponent made 9 changes to their normal side, we made 6 ourselves, and we seem to have come through unscathed which was all important. Another coefficient point and a few quid banked and we move on to a much harder game at Tynecastle on Sunday.

I was tempted to vote for McLaughlin, who didn't put a foot wrong when continually presented with passbacks under some pressure. I thought he was assured and calm throughout. But I went for Goldson, who seems transformed under GvB.

Made a lot of big tackes and blocks. He saved Bassey with an excellent last ditch tackle if I recall.
