Thought we were good today.
We pressed them much higher up the pitch and it forced them to kick long which
suited us.
Particularly enjoyed Jansson flattening their striker when winning a header.
Roofe ran about, was involved in the second goal but largely anonymous.
Just seen the pen on Twitter- Ayala wrestles Ayling to the ground who then
grabs Ayala’s leg. Not sure how the lino doesn’t see the foul on Ayling but
stupid reaction from him.
Agree about Cooper. I’d be lucky looking to upgrade at centre back in January.
