Dreadful spectacle the last thirty minutes played at half pace which is a shame for Cutrone

53% possession

No corners

Pen

Cutrone's wins penalty.

Wants to take it, not sure what the agreement would have been

Ruben pulling rank, Cutrone wanted it, better not miss

oof keeper was close

I think Ruben told Cutrone he could take it, then Nuno pulled rank

4

What a thread, I hear you say !

Nice pen. Would have been nice for Cutrone to get to take that but it could have backfired if he missed so right decision

Not at all. Easing him in gently. Couldn’t be a better blooding.

Yeah Neves didn't seem to be in a hurry to take the ball of him

Pat should have had that !

0-4

FT

That'll do nicely. As I'm sure others have said previously what is the point in teams playing the reverse fixture when the scoreline is so high already?

Cutrone a different kind of striker to Jiminez and Jota. A willing runner, touch probably not as good, but someone who is always wanting to be on the end of things in the penalty area and will make himself a handful for defenders

Don’t think we can judge pat on the cameo but good to get his debut out the way.

Yes good result and a professional performance, Pyunik didn't offer too much but like Crusaders made sure we had something to think about.

Do think the second leg will be a bit of a non event now but hope I'm wrong.

Can’t see them problem, using these rounds as pre-season games.......we used to god to Walsall

Need to run this through Google Translate.

Next leg:

Ruddy, Sanderson, Vallejo, Kilman, Neto, Perry, Saiss, Jordao, MGW, Samuels, Cutrone

Makes sense, but if we lose 5-0 I’ll come down and punch their flicking lights out.

Bench:

Sondergaard, Docherty, Bennett, Vinagre, Neves, Dendonker, Jota

That should sort it if it goes pear-shaped.

Adama forgot his passport, so didn’t travel. 🙄

If Docherty isn't fit play Doherty
