Stanno
So far I've read posters questioning Neumann, Cochrane, Paik, Allsop and Davies but the golden boy seems untouchable. Yes he isn't getting service but good players play themselves into games.

Marking at corners
May have already been touched on but did my eyes deceive me or was Stanno marking their 6 foot plus defender who scored?

Tough game with the way they have started. I'm going for 1v1 after going ahead. What say you?
