Jota

NOTEBOOK – 7/10 – Pure theatre: Hair by Bowie in Labyrinth, stepovers by CR7, weaving by Jinky, and the timing of Connolly* – boom! He’s back and he’s Jota on the wing all over again; just like he never left. Prepare for thrills and spills.

*Not James. Billy…

YING – 6/10 – Good to see a kid not bother with how poor he was midweek and give it his best for 15 minutes. Well involved too, might have scored or created one.

THE TERMINATOR – 6/10 – An artisan with time to pick a pass – 30 yard ball of the day for idah to fluff, corners pitch-perfect.

    VAR needs auto offsides as that’s just a nonsense.
