That was my first time seeing Farke's Farkers in the flesh. The atmosphere was indeed weirdly flat. Credit to the Welsh who managed to enliven things for the last 20 mins with a nonstop rendition of an (obviously new) chant about Yanick Bolasie.
S/ville & Georgenius really are thrilling to watch. I think they are both destined for the very top of the game (almost certainly not in a white shirt, so let's enjoy 'em while we can.) Other than that, I thought Kamara is an excellent player. Piroe, too, had his best game for us. I know many people moan that he's not playing as an out-and-out striker, but I think he is great where he is in a very fluid front line. Interesting to see Gray venturing into Alexander Arnold territory at times. I thought Swa/sea were actually a pretty decent side and they had a really good spell from min 15 to 45. We have had a nasty habit of conceding goals in minute 46, so it was great to score one this time instead. Sw/sea had been playing a noticeably high line, and Piroe had made a little run behind several times, but we chose not to hoof it up.............then Georgenius set off, and this time Ampadu launched it, and how brilliantly did the lad finish it!
