Very poor second half. Lacked any urgency or cutting edge. Some strange subs. 

 

At least we are still in the tie. All to play for. 

Surprised me that you didn’t shout for Amartey to come on for Little Wes?

[adejo92]

Meh, a bit disappointed with that.

 

KDH by far the MOTM, didn't do anything special,  but just did what he had to and broke up a lot of their play.

 

I thought other than KDH, we were quite poor in every area other than defence.

 

Our issue was, every player you look at to create something, Maddison, Barnes & Youri, all had bad games.

 

The away leg will be very tough now but its still in our hands.

 

Could have gone better, but could have gone a lot worse with their stone wall penalty.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Yeah, we didn't improve 2nd half in the final third. Too much blind alley stuff. Running or passing it into too much traffic inside the box. Barnes being the worst culprit. PSV look okay, but nothing special. Missed opportunity that. Think Brendan got his attacking sub changes wrong tonight. 

[NaijaFox]

Well, we got a clean sheet...

[Mythyaar]

Tippy tappy, far too indulgent at times.

 

Sometimes you just have to beat your man, get it in the mixer and/or get a shot away.

Wonder where Brendan and Mario are going for their date?

to Luigi's ?

[AjcW]

Wonder how many times BR has tried to sign Gotze  

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Bit of an anti-climax concerning no goals

Would have scored..... 😉

[Corky]

Probably needed a win tonight, keeps our good home record in Europe going but tough away now. Think we'll struggle with their atmosphere.

[Tuna]

Didn't see much of the game but from what I saw in the second half we didn't lay a glove on them, frustrating. 

 

It will be a good old fashioned winner takes all cup tie in Eindhoven!

Thought Castagne was superb - did really well 1-1 v Madueke, made good interceptions, made good attacking runs that weren’t picked out and had urgency from dead balls/throws - the best he’s been for a while 

[Criggers]

Thought Harvey was pretty pants except for his effort. He didn’t attack his man. But then I realised if he did he’d have had no options should be have got to the by line.

 

Right side broke after the subs.

 

Nacho forgot his shooting boots. We know he doesn’t have control boots so without the shooting boots we’re not left with much 😆

We should have been ahead in the first half but the second half was a complete damp squib as they parked the bus and we had no clue how to break them down. A few great performances eg KDH and the centre backs. Plus a few flashes from Riccy P. Barnes was so disappointing except for his one shot that hit the post. But as ever we didn't have enough shots. Realistically, that's the end of Euro our dream, especially as Vardy still won't be back next week.

Advantage PSV they got what they came here to do, tidy build up play by us, and good defensive play, Barnes was awful, final third, was turd, need to be careful next week, but we can still do it keep the faith 

[An Away Move]

We weren’t clinical enough. We had the chance to have two goals in the bag going into the next game. 
Then again we could easily have had a penalty given against us. 

[TonyN11]

Not too unhappy with tonight.

Still well in this tie

[Guest Kopfkino]

Second half a huge disappointment but credit to Schmidt and PSV they tightened up and made it difficult to play, pretty quickly 0-0 looked nailed on.

 

Having said that all of our forward players were guilty of terrible decision making particularly Barnes and Dewsbury-Hall. Subs were dire too but lack of options to change it going forward

Of course they would!

[adejo92]

Slightly off topic, but wow..

 

 

 

[NaijaFox]

Still looks like a tie that could go ether way...

Nothing in this game suggests that PSV will run over us in the 2d leg.

[An Away Move]

Thoughts on Madueke? Is he the right winger we’re looking for? I like him. A little bit wasteful tonight though. 

[Milo]

Don't mind that too much, tbh.

 

Played ok - didn't create much but were never really under threat. 

 

Positives in defence, and no tippy tappy nonsense. Evans was decent, Little Wes is a little Rolls Royce (Baby Bentley?), Youri was deeper than usual so maybe not as influential as he could have been, KDH doesn't look at all out of place.

 

The rest were ok - good bits and average bits.

 

Honestly, after what seems like an eternity of clueless, wilderness football, I'm a little more optimistic.     

[EastAnglianFox]

Bodo 2-1 up against Roma aswell after the first leg

[Vacamion]

 

Madueke is obviously class.

 

Whn he was beating our players, I kept wanting the next city player to tackle him, but I actually enjoyed watching him play.
