Who is Lusala? Someone promoted from the u16s? I can’t remember having heard of him before.

Yeh, U16. Picked up from Brentford a couple of years ago when they closed their academy down. Has apparently settled into a right back.

Thoughts: Lovely finishes by Parrott. Markanday is fantastic with the ball at his feet. Statham is even slower than I remember him being. Lusala was rightly sent off although he was left in the lurch with everybody else seemingly ahead of the ball and no one stopping the direct ball in behind.

I actually thought it was a little harsh on the red. I get why he was sent off - last defender. But, if the Chelsea player had gotten there first, his direction and momentum were actually going to take him away from the goal. He would not have been straight in on the keeper.

In any case, lusala made the decision to bring him down there rather than let him get on the ball. He did what he deemed to be right for the team, at his own expense. Can't be too annoyed at him for that

should be roles on the bench and if not him then parrott, we already have more than enough defensive/midfield options. i know that they wouldn't get on anyway and they'd just there to make up the numbers but it's still baffling to me as to how marsh is seemingly at the front of the queue.
