Van Hecke will be disappointed

 

[Yoda]

I thought Haaland was borderline offside there, maybe not, but they didn’t seem to even bother checking?

Gross was way too deep for any offside

 

[WhingForPresident]

Shame. Awful defending.

That was on Steele. Stay on your line or go to the ball, you can't be that high up and not challenge for the ball if a striker is through 1v1.

Oh well, entertaining game so far and we've played some good stuff.

I think they checked. Think Gross was playing him onside.

 

[BHA Fan93]

How is anyone blaming steele there? Stood up very well against haaland, and VH should have stopped it from going in? Anyone who thinks that’s steeles fault please explain….

They certainly should have checked, although the player on the near side was probably playing him on.

 

[Littlemo]

Will that count?

 

[GT49er]

Van Hecke will be disappointed

I imagine the whole team will be disappointed.

No it’s not Steele at all, the problem started with the defence further up, really poor positioning, far too flat. Steele couldn’t do anything.

No, you don't, you close the angle. You go for the ball in that position, easy to be rounded or get sent off, stay on your line, the striker scores. Defence should be more alert that another player is free

Basic goalkeeping.

 

[GoingUp]

We NEARLY scored from a corner!

Steele stays on his line and lets haaland the best striker in the world come in and shoot? he’s stopped him from shooting and it should have been cleared easily off the line. Clueless.

 

[The Fits]

Gilmour is a lovely little player.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Wee Billy has been outstanding so far.

 

[Washie]

Why did Mitoma even celebrate?

 

[Hendrax]

hands behind back and face plant required there.

 

[US Seagull]

Oh Mitoma.

I really want to see at least one more Mitoma magical goal before the season is done.

 

[The Fits]

Get in! This is mad, like a cup game, and could still concede 6 but what a brilliant, bold performance. Well deserved...
Oh.

 

[BHA Fan93]

Basic goalkeeping.

You clearly aren’t a goalkeeper and absolutely nothing about goalkeeping
