History for coochiee

There was a 2 pass sequence where Crocs played a short pass a bit behind Pijanker who had to rush to stop it going it out, Crocs gets the ball back then his longer pass the other flank is a bit over hit, so Ingham has to jump high to keep it in, nods to no one and we lose possession. Harsh on Crocombe I know, but I remember that clearly.

But yes overall it is great to have a mistake free keeper, after continous nervous costly gaffes from Sail & Woud. Also looked like Crocombe got a vital fingertip to that rocket Egyptian shot that hit an upright. Feels like Paulsen is the no 1 in waiting, but he's still very young & inexperienced by international keeper standards. His real chance will come in Paris.

Sure they were missing Salah & another big name player (I can't remember), but we had our EPL striker out. We may not know who they are, but their players are better than ours. They are 36 in the world, and Salah didn't get them there on his own. They have some of the biggest, most successful clubs in Africa. They were playing at home and had basically been in camp for 2 weeks. Hopefully we can score in Game 2, but it's been an Achilles heel for years now (not creating many clear cut chances against the bigger teams) and it's unlikely to change quickly.

Oh and Libby & Ingham (especially) had to be careful not to bomb too far forward, they always looked very dangerous on the counter. I thought most of the 2nd half we were in the game, but like a broken record we lack that final killer pass. However Singh's freekick into the cross bar, plus him & Lewis combining beautifully to see both Libby & Mata have shots blocked, were clear chnaces to get a goal. Yeah not much going on as the game ended, Waine, Barba, Old barely featuring.
