Birmingham (H) - Match Thread

[Messi]

Ayew could be such an asset in the team if he just knew how to release the ball. His work rate and hold up play can be class at times but the greed and unnecessary touches do my nut in.

[Sly]

It’s okay having rich owners Mr Don Goodman, however PSR basically means it’s basically not that helpful. 

[Tommy G]

Birmingham look doggo

Soumare MOTM "unsung hero"

[shen]

Ayew is much stronger than he looks. Glad we didn't get Gray however. He's been awful.

He's a decent 10. Our best option outside on BEK

 

Just not at number 9

[DJ Barry Hammond]

How do some of you feel at having to give Soumare above a 6 this evening?

 

He was superb tonight! 

[Simonb]

Was either soumare or vesty for me

Fair today.

 

Moments have decided the scoreline but he's been consistently decent throughout.  More fuel to the "there's a player in there, somewhere" crew!

[MrLuke]

Ah I've missed watching players put a shift in. Makes all the difference. Funny that.

[FoxesWalk]

Fatawu moving just fine at the final whistle

It just works all better with Patson. He moves people around and makes spaces, works very hard closing down. Couldn’t hit a barn door… but Ayew offers far less in the 9 slot than Daka imo. 

Ayew instantly becomes more effective too as a result.

The most Demarai Gray performance I’ve ever seen 

[Simonb]

Outstanding result this.. perfect set up going in to a int break and closing window.

[trooky]

Can't fault that tonight, looked very solid and really wanted it.
