Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant counter with Oztumer judging it perfectly. I love watching his head snapping in every direction as he runs on the ball looking for options. Good run and strike from Leko too. Just before that a high ball fell to Leko and he misjudged it and ran past it while it bounced on to a Cardiff player. That's what he'll do, he's not a brilliant footballer, but he's too fast for defenders to track easily and if you give him a great ball like that he just might put it in. Great bit of play all round
I still maintain that that was poor defensive play from Marlon Pack but Leko took advantage well.
Sure, the tracking was poor, but Leko's run and his pace forced the issue. Football is essentially decided by who makes the fewest mistakes, and the more you force the better you'll do

Fair enough point. I just don’t understand why he followed him past his own line of defenders, effectively nullifying their shape.
If he holds the line then it’s a lot more difficult for Oztumer to time that pass through the defensive line.
Oztumer doesn't seem to have the vision Williams has, but no reason he can't improve that over time. Few times he's been a bit slow to make the pass which Williams would have done. He has everything else though and definitely should start going forward
Oshilaja has played some lovely balls a few times. Matthews has looked solid but seems to be holding himself back at times (hamstring issues?).
Oz has been brilliant and Conor is everywhere. Bonne is so good at holding the ball up and finding the pass. Leko-1st non deflected goal? Took it excellently.

Must be scary as a Cardiff fan as were missing arguably our 3 most influential players.
i know they are muffling virtually all the crowd. noise, but it still feels a lot quieter than normal?
Told you all too that when teams play Football against us we'll beat them more easily compared to those who match us for physicality
Bonne has been immense this half truly has

What makes them good? The teamwork in the build up to both has been fantastic.

They must have 75% possession but no real threat as yet.
Leko ... well, what more can be said!
