scrappy game now

[Any Old Iron]

Don't know how that was disallowed. Should be two up. If we're not careful............

[Hammer and Pickle]

Time for the new man, m’thinks.

[violator]

Aguerd scares the life out of me

[KIDDERS]

So 2 fouls from Chong go unpunished. Aguard gets sent off for his 2, no consistency.

[Keep dreaming]

Fornals on for Benrahma Kudos on for Antonio 0-4

[pedro]

Does the ref move out of the centre circle! Get out the way !

[happygilmore]

didn't think it was offside. Didn't show VAR lines?

[nychammer]

we need to kill this one off

[wd40]

Moyes doing his magic again !

[Hammer and Pickle]

Paqueta is on another level. As for Aguerd, he’s bloody good as well if he doesn’t have to do two jobs with Àlvarez and JWP ahead of him.

[stubbo]

Alvarez not so much a better player than Rice, but different and doignnwhat we needed fantastically. Reminds of of Rice when he was playing a true DM role, but with quicker feet and cycling of the ball. Looks an astute signing...nice one Nobes (who scouted him).

[gph]

Think we narrowly deserve to be ahead, but the margin should be bigger. As for the goal, I think Bowen should have done better (yeah, I know, it's difficult to do better with a chance than score it) Wonderful cross, and Bowen's effort shouldn't have relied on a keeper's mistake. But it counts. And hopefully this ups Bowen's performance so he gets one that doesn't rely on a keeper error

[Mike Oxsaw]

I'm seeing potential here. Just hope we push on for more goals and don't even think about sitting back and protecting the lead.

grasshopper 10:46 Fri Sep 1 He played well against brighton but before he came on and Paqueta was on the left he played a beautiful ball into Antonio to put him through, and I thought when was the last time we saw a ball like that from the left flank. Between that, dribbling into nothing, and low percentage shots that come nowhere near the goal; he does my head in.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Need to stop giving away corners ffs....

[Mike Oxsaw]

I've had all 3 streams working but they then started buffering more than a pissed up Ivor the Engine. They seem to have stopped completely now,.

[zico]

Think we are doing ok, got that early round cup the feel against a tricky lower division home opponent. Areola isn't giving me much confidence on crosses though. Paqueta quality and once he gets fully up to speed Alvarez looks a good player.

[Keep dreaming]

Sublime pass from Paqueta and we'll take from Bowen. The midfield three is really really good. Only ones letting us down is Antonio, Benrahma and Coufal.

[Dr Matt]

Fantastic ball from Paqueta But… Alvarez is magnificent. This guy is like Rodri already. He’s better than Rice, a genuine upgrade.

[kylay]

What a delivery from Paqueta. Bowen is lucky that Kaminski fell asleep at the switch.

[ironsofcanada]

Bowen Keeper must do better but I will take it.

[nychammer]

nicegoal - Bowen!!!
