I was wondering when we'd get our first early kick-off after a European midweek game. These fixtures have been a bit of a nemesis of ours over the years. Jurgen hated them.
If you lose it ruins your entire weekend, draws aren't much better either. On the positive side of the ledger sheet these games are a great opportunity to pile a little bit of pressure onto your rivals, nothing better than sitting back all weekend watching how your rivals do knowing you've already got the 3 points in the bag. Hard to overlook the fact we usually look like we've just got out of bed though with players wandering around half asleep for half the game so lets hope we are at it from the start for a change. Dont wanna be knocked off top spot by this lot.
Come on you red men!! International breaks are ***** enough without going into one off the back of a loss.

That was a terrific first half performance, the only negative is that its only 1-0 and we saw with Ally's save right at the end of the half just how fragile a 1 nil lead is.
Personally i'd take Jota off, i know he's scored but he's also been booked and he can be a bit clumsy in the tackle, he has a habit of standing on defenders calves and the back of their heels when he's trying to chase them down from behind.

That was a very uncomfortable second half when it shouldnt have been, Jota and Mo missed great chances to put that game to bed and it very nearly cost us, good job both of our keepers were on their toes.
9 wins in 10 games now for Arne, lets see how everyone else gets on.
