Swansea City
1-0: Saturday, 30th SeptemberCame up wirh the only chance that made the game worth watching. Always knows what to do with the ball before receiving, often ending up in quick one-touch football that speeds the game up. A consistent performance from the Spaniard, but still letting sloppy mistakes creep into his game.

Astra Giurgiu
0-1: Thursday, 25th AugustPlaying Nordtveit and Obiang in the same team simply diudn't make sense, for they essentially perform the same role. And neither did that particularly effectively.
AFC Bournemouth
1-0: Sunday, 21st AugustBarely on the pitch long enough to fill his lungs. A tactical change to waste time.

NK Domzale
3-0: Thursday, 4th AugustIt took forever to get him on – either the buzzer thing on ref no.2’s arm wasn’t working or ref no.1 walked off still wearing it. A quiet but effective ten minutes.
