Good result in a typical derby game. This wasn't a classic as we stifled Spurs to just 3 shots (1 on target) as #CFC had the chance to win it far more comfortable 15 (9). Pedro alone had four good chances scoring from one. For a Frank team Spurs looked not being on at all.

Maresca has lately stated that #CFC is improving. It is difficult to agree as our inconsistency, leakage and indiscipline are all growing. It seems that any hard working team can beat us and our squad strength isn't that bad even with injuries.

#CFC It is always another thing to work hard for yor team and maybe earn a booking, but recently the illdicipline has been beyond belief. Delap, just out of injury, decides to get booked and then afterwards secondly booked. It makes no sence, or Maresca, tell me.

FT WWFC 3 #CFC 4 we just clinch it after Wolves get back into the game. The same defensive problems continue against this lowly team. For me this isn't encouraging, you get this leakage and illdicipline which isn't a thing of a team winning trophies. Much to improve long term.

#CFC Well, the red for Delap is so crazy. Why did he do that? It is not just defending that is a worry but these silly indiscipline insidents repeated game after a game. Just as I comment Gittens releaves the pressure and hits a scremer 90'

73' Yet again a setpiece goal conceded and WWFC are now just a goal behind. Conceding against a team of this level twice is really worrying. Even the changes did not bring in stability, but that is the pattern of Maresca tactics. Neto on for George 76'

#CFC changes come at a proper time as #CFC started the 2nd half poorly 60' Cucurella in for Gusto, Delap for Estevao and Fernadez for Lavia. Supposedly Maresca wants to steady the game and sort the result.

48' There we are... a Boenanotte poor pass results in a Wolves goal when 2v2. Similar to some of #CFC recent goals conceded

#CFC Gittens, Santos and Estevao are having a good game. Estevao scores a peach of a goal for the third with his chip. This time the whole team is working together. This is the level we need to produce against a much tougher opponent at the weekend.

HT WWFC 0 #CFC 3 (5' Santos [Gittens], 15' George [Gittens], 41' Estevao [Santos]
The reserves are doing well and we've worked well as a team. Wolves don't press and their low block isn't particularily good. Well, sell best players and buy lesser. Definitely not a game to measure us.

I'm all for the rotation as now done this evening by Maresca for #CFC. Also, I have confidence in Lavia and Santos. With no Enzo, Palmer and Caicedo the team needs to find ways forward in other ways. Estevao can be a key certainly to get the others into scoring positions. Hope for the best.

A young team is more difficult to oranize, but at #CFC it is not about any certain player. Also, buying new players will not change the fact that Maresca needs to do much more on tactical defending. With a leaking defense we will not win anything and not gain CL spots. 0-0 always better than 1-2.

As with both conceded goal this isn't about the players at most, it is about how we defend as a team and prepare for defending. Maresca is a midfielder himself and should understand that #CFC can't just attack. The result is this and quite honestly despite the posession the better team won.

90+3 minutes AFCS take te lead. This is why I don't think Mareasca isn't the long term solution as a manager. The second on #CFC big faults: counters. In all honestly with a better tactical approach this could have been won. All of it was predictable.

Maybe it is again Estevao time to unlock the subborn SFC defence. So far we have expecienced just what was expected. Madley is quite tolerant for AFCS foul in their box. VAR backing him as usual. #CFC simply needs to do more and be more fluent.

HT #CFC 1 (4' Garnacho [Neto] SFC 1
A dissapointing half as we couldn't hold on and build on our lead. The customary setpiece problem got SFC level. This isn't anything new as we have it from Lampard times but it need to be rooted out. Not a personal problem, rather tactical & awareness

One penatlt escape for SFC as Cucurella is pulled down and a second as Pedro showed to the ground. This isn't normal Madley, a blind version rather.

Just 4 minutes and #CFC were ahead but a long throw setpiece gets SFC level in 22 minute. As always, we aren't going to win games just scoring once as we do give our opponents plenty of chances to score. This was also avoidable with better concentration.

From the available players Maresca has selected a very strong #CFC lineup. Sunderland will want to work hard and sit deep when needed. Not an easy game and we need to be at our best to win it. Defensively we need to be sharp and play as a team as counters are expected.

FT NFFC 0 #CFC 3 (Acheampong [Neto] 49', Neto [James] 52', James 84')
We deserved the win but a more capable opponent would have scored against us. We steadied after Caicedo inclusion with being able to keep possession and create chances. NFFC look very poor without belief.

HT NFFC 0 #CFC 0
First 30 minutes we were sloppy and passing also wayward. The last 15 minutes were much better with 2 shots out of 5 on target. Despite plenty of gifted possession NFFC hadn't a shot on target from 3. Estevao in place of Garnacho could give us some more ideas.

20 minutes gone and it has been uncontrolled, almost who is going to gift NFFC the best chance to score. #CFC instead not really knowing how to get into proper shooting positions. Final 3rd and nothing happening despite possession.

From our reserves Strasbourg we shouldn't overlook the striker Panichelli, who scored already twice tonight and had hit the target 5 times before this season. Even though Moreira scored once tonight I can't see him doing enough defensively and he's been sold. Penders, I don't know; maybe.

A great ending with Estevao scoring his 1st #CFC goal to give us the win. What a great cross from Cucurella. It was a hard fought win against a team we don't liketo lose to. This time Maresca did bring in new energy and the decisive player in time to matter.

We need to dig into the U21 team to get more.

#CFC concede again and it was from poor defensive covering. The game has been balanced after our more dominating 1st half. We need to gain the lead again or we end up with a defeat again at home.

I must also mention young Acheampong who not only did his defensive duties well but also drove #CFC forward. He looks very promising and can develop into one of the team leaders. His reading of the game is good for his age and his speed is great.

Yes, maybe unfair, but Caicedo and Neto stand out for #CFC. No player has let the team down and this is the spirit we need to maintain. 1-0 certainly not enough, but it is a good start. We need to take care in defence as LFC is still dangerous and we have been bad towards the end.

Bradley already booked kicked Garnacho, Taylor not interested. #CFC

Taylor didn't give us a clear penalty, so he is back at it again. Hopefully he doesn't decide the result instead of the teams. His line of officiliating is very free and unclear which could spiral out to heated temperatures. #CFC
