Is the game on MyFootball?? Doesn't appear so 

Yup I can see it - it's just 'scheduled' at the moment, but should be live any minute.

With no hemed or piscopo would like to see this line up. Be interesting to see how McGarry does in a more advanced role and get rid of sotirio.

Pretty narrow line up no? Payne is not the answer at RB IMO as his crossing is woeful. Worse than Fenton. Don’t have much option atm though
Paynes crossing is so much better than Fentons? He actually gets power behind the ball. Start of this season his crossing was definitely off but we saw last season that he can ping a ball in

He did until covid, since then his crossing is horrific. He was a complete waste at RB and I’m glad he’s finding form at CB because I do rate him as a player. I don’t know what went wrong, but seemed to lose all that directness and ability he had at the start of last season. 

Anyway, fire up!

Glory clearly the better side, lets hope Davila try's another chips at goal.

I mean Fenton is falling. How can he be in control of his arms?

Ball could've done a lot better with that space in the box.

Honestly I wouldn't have argued that as the arms were pretty far up. 

What was the one that went against us, where a defender wouldn't intentionally hand ball one that was being cleared? 

So seems like consistency at least.

 Agreed. I thought he was going to square it for Davila

VAR finally makes a call that makes sense, thing Glory look average on attack at the moment, we havent done anything great yet either but it will come.

VAR told the ref to look at it. 

Ref gets the credit because he would be going over with the bias of knowing VAR reckoned it was worth checking.

would help if Sotirio would stop losing the ball in the centre of the field.

True, ref made the right call to stick with his initial decision, although I think VAR was not only asking the ref to look at the tackle but also the potential for handball,

They are moving better than us without the ball and finding good position in between the lines. We don't seem to have many outlets when we have possession

reckon I've seen more footy than you've had hot breakfasts

Siggy was a great player, he was good at what he did, and that was defend. He was not as versatile as payne nor as good with the  all at his feet.
