I thought Mirrallas and Lennon were both decent in the first half and were getting in the right spaces to make things happen.  lennon got behind Fuchs a couple of times, once should have had a pen, once could have scored if he'd taken the shot himself and was unlucky that CL didn't get on the end of his cut back.  Mirrallas looked more dangerous as the half went on getting through the centre.

Why they both got hooked i've no idea.  Presumably it was to add an extra CM as we were getting over run on the counters all the time and to add Niasse up front.

While we played better in the second half I still think we missed both of them and would have rather seen Calvert Lewin go off than Lennon.

It seems Calvert Lewin is considered something of a golden boy getting to play most of each game and while I like the lad, he's worked hard and does a lot of things well, the one thing he doesn't do well is actually look very dangerous in the box.  He has created things from outwide before but I'd rather see Lennon played for longer as he has the pace and directness to get behind and defender and into the box.

If they'd played longer I'd have probably given one of those 2 man of the match, as it is I'll not bother.

DCL gets so much game time as we haven’t much else. Taking him off makes us very one dimensional as we have no outlet. 

I think Unsworth was maybe looking to flood the middle and control the game through there. Creating pressure and hoping for a break. It worked to a point, but then we had no one to finish any chances we created. The best effort was Niasses control and shot that was blocked. It looked the only shot that would have troubled the keeper. The best chance was Rooney to Niasse. A bad first touch took the chance away.

talibg the width off rather than the forward, was just the better of two evils I think.
