Well I know Austria isn't exactly the football capital of the World but surely they could have found a stadium to play the game in. Apparently not, as the match is taking place in a park with trees and bushes lining one touchline. That can't be good for the intensity of the game but never mind.
At half time we lead 1-0 and Green hasn't been troubled. Mind you, the Bursapor keeper hasn't been too busy either. I know it is early days but nothing seems to have changed from last season. When Bursapor attack, it is down our right flank, with Faubert clearly identified as a weak link. Collins has covered superbly so even when Faubert has been bypassed, there hasn't been a real threat on our goal.
Up front, Cole is hopelessly detached. Jimenez has shown some nice touches but the diamond in midfield is far too flat. We need him operating a good 20 yards further forward than he is at the moment. On a couple of occasions Cole has shown his frustration and I am not surprised. The ball is played up to him and there isn't a single player in support.
On the plus side, Collins and Ilunga look strong and defensively we look tight. But we could have said that through most of last season. The big question remains, how are we going to score enough to win games in the Prem? Dyer has given us the lead but I haven't seen him in the box since.

Final score 1-1. Goal scoring will be a problem!
if we can blood that nouble n dixon there's goals there. I know they're young and untested but i'm optimistic. I don't really wanna see eider gud he seems right up his own *rse and cole does the same job. still got jiminez to find his feet too...
Hope you are right! I think Parker may be part of the solution ironically. If he holds and anchors, others will have more confidence to bomb on!
true, parker pulls the strings and just maybe dyer's got a season left in the bank - he got a massive point to prove which is good news. what do you think of savio?
i think i got a bit thunderbirds there
Savio? I'm unsure mate. I HOPE he is the real deal but I am worried that Stanislas was picked ahead of him. Why pay all that money if we already have a better alternative on the books? Fingers crossed that he explodes into life as the season kicks off!
remember charlie chaplin, 'nothing is permanent in our world. Not even our troubles.' Bubbles in the air...
