Quite simply, we're controlling the game(mostly) , and understandably we're not taking too many risks. We really don't want to lose this, and a draw would be 'okay'
I still feel this is a 1 -2.

Watch it again - if you don’t agree, fair play, but fancy explaining why Wissa hugging Dunk (who naturally then shoved him off) isn’t a foul?

I’d say that sort of thing isn’t normally given (the hug). As long as it’s minimal and then stops - happens at every set piece. Dunks reaction was too strong and obvious. Wissa’s was clearly a foul. I just don’t get how VAR didn’t spot the Dunk pull.

Atmosphere sounds awful, can only hear our lot.
Frustrating game so far, controlling it well enough but it's got counter attack sucker punch written all over it.
Lallana and Größ playing well. So much more confident with Bart between the sticks too.

There's difference between controlling possession and attacking. Trouble is we don't seem to know what it is

I thought the VAR was for the challenge on Van Hecke. His shirt was grabbed as he jumped so couldn't reach the full height of his jump. Didn't even notice the Dunk drama, just looked like normal penalty box argy bargy.

Agree that the first foul by Wissa wouldn’t be enough to give the pen by itself. But Dunk shoving him off was entirely proportionate - is he supposed to just stand unable to move?

Dumbfounded by the number of people not seeing this, am I hallucinating. There was 3 fouls - first by Wissa, second by Dunk, final one by Wissa. If Dunk started that then I’m the Pope.

But the contact by Wissa is nowhere near enough a foul. The next contact by Dunk is nailed on. Totally correct decision by ref and we'd have been gutted if on the wrong end of that.

He's definitely not allowed to foul the player.
