They are a dangerous side and are very capable of scoring plenty of goals (already have this season!).
Good job our front 3 were back "on it" after a few indifferent performances, because if they hadn't been, we're losing comfortably there.
The amount of good chances for both sides was crazy; could have finished 8-7!
They will be tough to beat at their gaff, but hopefully, we'll have qualified by the time that game comes around.
Onto our ongoing defensive issues, I've thought it for a while now; I think it is in no small part down to the absence of Alisson. Don't get me wrong, Adrian has done pretty well since he's come in, making some crucial saves, but I believe our defence looks a lot more secure with Alisson in goals. I believe our defenders feel more confident with him behind them and I think our opposition also fancy their chances a lot less with Brazil's no.1 in goal.
I, for one, will feel a lot happier about our defence once he returns & genuinely believe we'll look a lot less vulnerable at the back once the main man returns (hopefully for the Utd game).
Anyone share this view or am I talking bollox??!!!
