He's serviceable as a 3rd option. We need a proper center half to pair with Godfrey AlbanyNYToffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Fair scoreline for the half. Our quality got us ahead, should have been two as Kean looked onside but then we went into our shell a little and they deservedly equalised after a few chances. No individual was to blame for that goal IMO. Both centre halves are marking a space and the ball just gets over Holgate and into the space just before Keane. Perfect delivery against the zone. Blame that on Rafa if you don't like it. As for the individuals: Begovic - good save but can't kick. Niels - good going forward but can't defend. Branthwaite - doesn't look at this level at this stage. Keane - solid Holgate - solid Kenny - solid Davies - Love the breaks forward, wish he didn't have to defend outside of his comfort zone. Whilst this is a weird thing to say some of the passing angles he has stopped have been great but they can run pass him as they please when he is exposed. Nice assist too! Gbamin - Athletic enough but can't pass. Will be one who dwells on the ball and gets caught. Iwobi - Another solid half and took his goal well. Lively. Townsend - Completely lacking in any quality. Kean - hit and miss. Could be on a hattrick. Just dragged the first shot, did what he could with the second and his emphatically finished third was called offside. He didn't need to be that tight though. Just needs to sharpen up. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield did miss an open goal/half chance so they could probably argue about being in the game, but I think on balance you'd put your money on us after that first half. Not worried at all, but of course that's me speaking too soon and we'll probably lose 4-1 now . Moise Kean is looking surprisingly bright and energetic.

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Kean sent off. Hang on, what the fuck has Kean done wrong there? Late challenge so he gives the lad a shove, not seeing how that is violent conduct (i.e. - an elbow/headbutt). One of the most over the top sending offs I've ever seen . Edit: People on Twitter saying that Moise made contact with the lads neck/face. But didn't look like it to me - really want to see it back zoomed in as I'm honestly gobsmacked.
