We Are The Reds

We are looking much more settled at the back.

True.

Another good save from Delianov .

I know Isa is out with too many yellow cards but what has happened to Kitto?
He is not on the bench and not in injury list that I can tell.

United apply some pressure but can't find a clear way through.
Alagich finally shoots over from outside the area.

Hard to see a way through at the moment.

Van der Saag throwing himself about.

Gee it would be good if our players could pass the ball to a team mate , a Sunday team can pass better than this lot CV what does he do with the team , passing to team mates is not in the coaching week in week out

Good reflex save from Delianov

Half time.

That was pretty dire, nothing creative and barely a shot on goal.
I also have to keep reminding myself who the white team are which is annoying!

Probably one of the most physical games I’ve seen of late and some pretty solid crunching tackles going unsanctioned on both sides.

One thing I do not like to see is the nonsense from Chapman on Ayoubi, holding his shirt on every single occasion, including holding him back from an attacking run with the ball that was clearly a professional foul usually worthy of a yellow.

Even the goal was the end product of a movement that started when Chapman held Ayoubi back.

I know shirt holding is a part of the game (should not be in my opinion), but this seems excessive. Chapman will of course continue doing this because Ali Rezfaghani has deemed it legal, and so have his assistants.
