Stephen Welsh

Fair play to him, I thought he had a cracking game.

 

Actually delighted he’s getting the credit he deserves tonight. I thought Jura was really good but the one complaint I had with him was the amount of panicked hospital balls he fired Welsh’s way, and he dealt with them brilliantly as well.

Jura’s one of our players comfortable at that level, I was excepting him to help the youngster next to him, Welsh was the one helping him and leading from the back.

Hope people don’t forget this the next time he misplaces a pass.

 

Keep this up and improve and he'll end up being the starter next to CCV.

 

Was ok tonight but at their first disallowed goal he was in their final 3rd following their defender and that created space for Nukunku

 

that’s far too out of position for a CB especially when the 3CM aren’t renowned for their defensive ability you could allow his covering for McGregor as McGregor is even further forward when our move breaks down

 

Yip was nowhere to be seen at that point. But he settled down and played very well. Some superb interceptions by being in good positions.

The boy needs constant games though, as when our first choice two are back he'll be sitting on his * again, and will be back to square one.

 

Got a long way to go before that happens.

 

Jenz has the same habit. I can understand it with the high pressing but against quality side, CB moving forward have been caused us already multiple times this CL season. Real exploited it and Leipzig now too. Ange should advise the CB to cut that out a bid. It's causing us way too many problems.

 

I think our CHs should be encouraged to carry out the ball from the back, if they see a gap, a bit like Ajer done for us but it’s so important that one of our midfielders then drops back into the CH position to cover

 

Playing well so far.

 

Yet another reckless charge to the touchline followed by a mad lunge which ends up with him booked. Seems to be becoming his trademark.

 

His reading of the game and positioning are absolutely hoaching. Yet another goal conceded where he’s static and just doesn’t read the danger.

 

Simply isn’t good enough. And I know I’m repeating myself.

Abada missed that sitter and a minute later we could have been 1-0 down after Nicky Clark got past Welsh far too easily. Then a few minutes later he got a stupid booking after a wild lunge.

Good to have CCV back. Badly need his partner to return asap.

 

Disgrace of a booking I thought though, hun ref over excited to book a defender. Was nowhere near the player who dived.

 

As boyd said he didn't jump for there equaliser the boy just isn't good enough hurry up back starfelt

 

Nowhere near as good as midweek but also thought CCV was a bit off it too. Although he is coming back from injury I guess.

 

Yeah he never actually touched the guy but when you go steaming in like that from distance it always looks bad.

 

Dog * today. Lost his man for their goal.

They also nearly scored because of that time Maeda had the ball under pressure and Welsh just stood there and refused to step away from his marker. Absolutely no clue what he's doing sometimes.
