Definitely entertaining and frustrating in equal measure.
Thought Dembele looks a real find. Saito wasn't on the pace today. Frey was excellent - superb energy levels. Celar fairly anonymous again and should've scored.
Their keeper kept them in the game but our strikers just don't attack the crosses in enough.
Think we've got the making of a very exciting team though. | |

Marti said he was "exhausted", not really quite sure why. I would have swapped him away from his marker.
I too thought Plymouth did quite well. I know it is de rigeur to hate Rooney and think he is a moron, but I still think he may be better than that and his players certainly fought for him. | | | |

As a side note, I'm in Brisbane, where was it shown over here? | | | |

Faurlin was a number 6 / DCM - a defensively-minded player but with fantastic playmaking ability from deep, the likes of which we have not seen since.
I thought Madsen, despite a few nice touches, was not involved in the game - either defensively or offensively and the game largely by-passed him. Early days but agree with another poster that he doesn’t exactly scream number 8, a role traditionally defined by energy, stamina, and box to box ability. Interested to see more. | | | |

I don’t really buy it, perhaps because it’s Rooney and he’s been so crap before. They scored one brilliant goal which can’t really be put down to the manager. Good goalkeeping but ten shots on target and another 20 shots on top usually means you’re losing comfortably. If they lose Whittaker they’re in big trouble and probably even with him. | | | |

I'm prepared see the Derby similarity - Saito got brushed past a bit easily and an unfortunate heavy touch from S led to a l an instinctive screamer (looked like that anyway) alah Zamora. | | | |

The ‘mark’ against Cifuentes for me is his handling of games against 10 men, both here and at Hammarby.
The first thing they teach you in your badges is that with a man’s advantage you keep the ball moving side to side and keep the defence turned around as that’s where gaps open up for the additional man to utilise.
Far too often yesterday we got it out wide, put a foot on it, came back inside and crossed by which time the defence are set and the aimless lumping it into the box the last 10-15 mins was a gift for a knackered Plymouth side.
Obviously Marti has forgotten more about football than I’ve ever known but it felt a bit weird to keep the 4 at the back on to handle very little attacking threat Plymouth offered and I’d wager EDB coming on tasked with standing 5 yards from the penalty spot would’ve served us better than Dunne, even with Paal pushed up. | | | |

live it looked like a heavy touch but having watched again on telly the ball was kind of belted at him first time, he had no time to compose, it kind of hit his foot at speed rebounded back to Whittaker and bang. | |

What an absolute gem of a player we have in Dembele. I just hope we can keep hold of him come the end of the season. | | | |

That's the point I was making. And it's not a criticism but from what I saw yesterday of him he's no number 8. Seemed to very similar to what we already have here. | | | |

It's on a channel called Beinsports. Not sure if you're on FB or the social type but there was a hoops down under meet up last night to watch it in Brisbane. Pig and whistle I think. | | | |

Field responsible for the goal, and slows the game down by being unable to pass forward. | | | |

OK. I have Foxtel but we lost BeInsports over a year ago. I used to watch the Rs on that. I do know the Pig and Whistle in the City. I should have thought of that.

Except he passed forwards loads yesterday. He was the one playing the ball about yesterday, not Madsen. | | | |

He played well and was very unlucky that his, on this occasion, poor touch resulted in their equaliser-great strike, mind. | |
| Did I ever mention that I was in Minder? |

According to his interview, he seems to think he can be a 6, 8 or 10, but prefers the 8 role. Hopefully, he's not delusional. | |

Totally and utterly ridiculous to point the finger at Field for the goal. If anyone is doing that they seriously need to look at the bigger picture. | | | |

Download the Bein Sports App, not great picture quality but works fairly well. They had a big sale on not long ago with discounts on a one year subscription so worth checking out. I’m in Brisbane too (East Bris) but not on Facebook so didn’t know about the Pig & Whistle get together either until I saw it mentioned in the match thread chat.
Would be great to meet up in person with you and all the other Brisbane Rs sometime. I’ve met a few over the years but god knows there’s not many of us. | |

Field's poor control gave them the opportunity to equalise. | | | |

Thanks, I'll look into that. I'm in Redcliffe. I'm not on any social media, unless this site qualifies. | | | |

As I saw it. Dembele and Field in the team of the week. | | | |
