Decent first half. The better team, with the better chances.

I'm happy with 0-0 though, as for me, the possible Hinsh foul was a DEFINITE penalty and I can't believe that it wasn't given.

I think the only reason it wasn't given is because the foul on Mitoma probably should have been a penalty too.

We're playing decent football, but no real clear cut chances.

Pedro, Gomez, van Hecke and others all having good games.

Keep this up and we should win this - probably going to be a draw though.

Looked a pretty even half from ESU. We probably had the better of it but felt that maybe should have been a pen against us. Only got one look at it mind, from the opposite corner of the stadium.

Surprisingly good half given the scratch nature of the team, strong bench to help us finish the game too. Feeling a lot more confident than I did prior to the kick off.

Come on Albion

:albion:

i love Pedro, but i wish he wouldn't try and beat 3 players every time he gets the ball. more often than not there is a simple pass on and we lose possession.
Arguably the most dangerous player on the pitch. Perfect touch, makes things happen. Trying to beat players draws players towards him. I’d be more worried about Adingra’s passing or our corner deliveries.

None of his mistakes have anything to do with the quality of the opposition. Just sloppy, panicky play - could have easily been red carded.
He's playing against fast and skillful players who thrive in 1v1s. Rogers, Ramsey, Rashford.

Either penalty could have been given on a different day, so with neither being given it feels ok.

Good first half. We were just about the better side and could easily be ahead. Fab has some tricky decisions to make...possibly replacing Hinsh before he sees Red, for starters.

Think we were the better team in the first half. Played with a lot of pace and intensity. Worried we might get caught on the counter though.

Trust the process.
