Anyone? Was it Vitinho?

Yes it was Vitinho

[ElectroClaret]

Think it was Benson. But might be wrong.

[ClaretAndJew]

24 shots

11 on target

[Greenmile]

Phil Bird thought it was Benson, too, but it was definitely Vitinho.

[boatshed bill]

Any how, Vitinho had a bit of a stinker.
Never mind, it's a team game and we won despite being a bit crap on the day

[karatekid]

The reaction from VK. Almost Mourinho like. Passion.

Apparently, according to other boards, refs are helping us by giving so much injury time. If teams didn't waste time it wouldn't happen. There might be some bad refs in this league but at least they stop the watch for time wasting.

Never in doubt

We had 41 crosses. That has to be a record. We also had 88.1% pass accuracy although it didn't seem like it.

[FCBurnley]

I am 99% sure the bad pass was from Benson but being old I could easily be wrong

It was 100% not Benson, it was number 22 vitinho

[Jellybean]

Yep definitely vitinho, he was gutted let's not dwell, they are going and will hopefully learn to not do this!

*young!

We pass around a lot. They were very direct.
But we cut out a lot of their moves with smart interventions

Yes.

[mkmel]

He had a stinker didn't he?
Where was he when their player had a free header?

[Colburn_Claret]

Where was he when their player had a free header?

He made the initial missed tackle just outside their area.
Then JBG put in a half hearted attempt just inside their half.
Then 2 of them failed to prevent the ball out to the Arsenal lad.
Then Maatsen, and he did have a lot of ground to make up, failed to block the cross.
Then Beyer and THB, both chose to cover the one man attacking the near post, when one of them, THB realistically, should have been aware and covered the back post.
A catalogue of errors from start to finish.

It all happened quick, and there was no way Vitinho was outrunning the ball to get back.

Enjoyed watching that

[Ric_C]

absolutely hilarious

[Lancasterclaret]

Interestingly even they thought it was 8 minutes injury time

Like Reading the week before though, if you adopt that tactic, you cannot complain if it blows up in your face
