You will see from my posting history that I am not a Cirkin fan and long doubted he has the quality for this league.
But he didn’t play badly at all today. He was overloaded tactically when Leeds were on wing back mode, he had little help from Adingra (he tried and he was our best player going forward but the lad just doesn’t understand defending), he has their most intelligent player to mark Aaronsen and he was making his first start for god knows how long, a Premier League debut.
Under the circumstances, I thought he did ok. He was particularly brave when targeted at the back post for headers.
The goal was on Mukiele. Ballard stops it imo. Senses the run before it’s happened. Nordi is a great player, but he’s a full back. You see it in fine margins.
