Pussies play with cautious approach.
The defence held firm. Dalot guard the left side well for this match.
Partly because botak tell him don't venture up, I presume.
Evans put in a good shift with a few timely interceptions. My MOTM.
But Maguire was injured.
A fair result for both sides, I guess.
Probably the highlight of the match is the referee comms set malfunction. LOL !

So quiet...everybody seem to be shocked by the result...based on this game alone, it seems the players r playing baldy out in the 1st place in previous games treating themselves still on honeymoon...it goes to show if they want to really play they can do it...

not sure why they so tulan of baldy ?? ...of course baldy himself must share part of the blame for them not playing well by playing them out of their preferred position n his wrong substitutions is killing him n the team besides he doesn't know tactics wise how to turn the game around if they r trailing...his subs got no impact on the game most of the time because they r of worser quality than those they replace but mostly it is the useless players they hv recruited in this present team...none of them seems to be really good or prolific in scoring goals or helping to score goals. ..other teams get their recruitment right like City getting Haaland n Gvadiol, pool getting gravenbirch, spurs getting Ben Johnson n Solanke, Chelsea getting Palmer etc etc ...the new INEOS management team seems to be overated... sigh...in the end it was 37 yo veteran player Evans named POTM who put the rest of his younger teammates to shame
