Has mason touched the ball?

Eikrem looking hot and cold, he has made some good interceptions and his crosses looked dangerous, but he has made a couple of mistakes. Seems to be getting better as time goes on though.

He's been bullied off the ball by Championship defenders and never makes any intelligent runs. He just drifts about like a sloth. He's essentially a taller and untalented Berbatov. I don't get how anyone can say he's having a good game.

Eikrem still getting used to the tempo, a little too slow on the ball, but his vision has been excellent this first half

KTC decision making & delivery very poor ... FRUSTRATING ... as there's room down the RHS to create but poor link up play

He's had no service and Mason has been non - existent. I accept he's raw but that is no secret. What he's had to do he's done quite well. Championship defenders are probably more physical than defenders in the premier league and will be used to a physical battle, but I think he's held his own.
I just think some people are determined to cane him no matter what like they did with rudy

Eikrem is not particularly pacey. He is mainly a quick-thinker with a great overview, and can play some excellent direct passed to switch the play. That is his main asset, and will improve when he gets more familiar with the team and the movements of his teammates. Has shown a couple of defensive glitches today, not typical of him really. I think it is a question of adapting to the team and to the tempo in England.

I know mate but he's quicker than Whitts who is like a slug!

I liked what I saw first half from him. I don't understand why some people can't take into account the things you have highlighted when they are watching him for the first as it's just common sense that he'll need some time to adapt.

Great celebration as well...tribute to Vincent Tan by pulling his shorts right up around his neck. :ayatollah:

Nice finish. Further proof of how tactically aware Ole is. He knew we weren't going to score with Cornelius on so makes changes. Nice to see a manager not afraid to make them early and instead do whats best. At the end of the day, Cornelius isn't good enough and won't be for a few years at least.

Think it was a bit sad Cornelius went off before Noone came on. Cause he changes this game instantly. Instead Campbell got to harvest what Noone planted :)

KTC still worries me ... gives attackers too much space
