Albrighton and Praets legs actually go to jelly when they are looking like being in on goal 🤦🏻‍♂️

I think it's because they put in on goal so rarely under Brendan ball that it's a totally alien situation for them

 

"What do you mean we are supposed to pass it forwards?"

The commentator can't stand this passing lark can he? 

It is dull af to be fair. It’s like that Simpson’s caricature of football. I’m sure Pep’s philosophy is to remove any ounce of joy any opponent or neutral might possibly take from watching you.

999 minutes of injury time incoming

I thought Praet made a good decision tbh, given the bodies in front of him. He didn’t waste the ball and allowed us to try and create another chance.

Marcal-Madivadua looks decent, always looking to go forward and play positive.

 

Complete opposite to McAteer who halted all our attacks against Coventry.

Agreed. Obviously McAteer was up against better opposition, but WMM looks better technically IMHO.

[hejammy]

Are they time wasting to keep it to one goal? 

[foxes_rule1978]

Them having to chase the ball all the time is already injuring their players

Josh Gordon? Ex Leicester? 

[StriderHiryu]

Burton are having to chase us around the pitch so much that they are all getting hamstring injuries!

 

I actually feel sorry for them.

Looks very bright.

[STUHILL]

Are Burton players surrendering en masse?? 

[whoareyaaa]

[coolhandfox]

Grind them down until their bodies fail

Yep! Seems to have carved out a respectable league career

[spacemunky]

So, about 15 minutes added time?

 

Edit @Monk with the superior, and sooner joke!

Ndidi making some look very silly. 

 

We need to realise we actually have a Football coach now, he will improve players individually and us as a team.

[nettle]

There players have had enough already they are just chasing shadows

Didn’t Robins say similar about Coventry picking up injuries chasing us about
