Outside box but does the head clash constitute dangerous play and a red?

Never a dogso, and valid play on the ball. Outside the box, the goalkeeper is just another player.

Stopping a promising attack, to me - maybe (which would mean yellow because of a free kick, no card in the case of a penalty)

I agree yet I feel Bundesliga refs would give a red for the injury Duke suffered.
 
Why are we here lol? What was wrong with the other place?

Anyway, sloppy start. I know we nearly scored, but we look shaky in possession and in defence.
 
Miller is so bad. Boggles that Strain is fit and not even in the squad.
 
Miller again. Simple ball but spins and gives it back to them. We're giving them way too much respect and ball. Seen very little of Bos.
 
Popa making the same stupid mistake that Ange did of insisting on playing out from the back no matter how the opposition are pressing. This idiotic belief that it's bad to ever kick the ball to halfway is going to cost us big time and drives me crazy.
 
This is tough to watch, don’t think we’ve been able to string more than 3 passes together. Too many heavy touches under pressure, we are not capable of playing it out from the back either.
 
No cohesion or quick passing. Our right side is too narrow. Hrustic and Miller can't and don't work together. In turn Bos and McGree somewhat on top of each other. I'd switch wing sides for now.
 
Good save from Gauci but he looks a bit shaky when he has the ball at his feet.Miller is not the only one who is giving away possession.

We should play long goal kicks and send Souttar or Burgess up to try and win it. It's hardly a risk to have the ball in that area and see what happens. We've seen the pitfalls of stupid stuff at the back.
