Exactly!
Schar on the bench. Lejeune left out completely after banging on how they are ready etc.
He needs to immediately change it to Schar-Fede-Lejeune for City with Yedlin and Willems as wing-backs. Central pairing of Sean Longstaff and 1 of Shelvey/Hayden/Matty. Up top I'd wish he'd go with ASM-Joelinton-Muto/Atsu.
As shit as we were, Heaton made 2 incredible saves that won the match for Villa - first half on Fede's header and the diving save in the 2nd on that strike from ASM
He doesn’t strike a ball with any conviction or proper technique in any match I’ve seen bar Spurs. He’s leaning back in probably every single shot. There’s no determination from his body language that he’s got a hunger to score or smack it on frame either. Shot of confidence.
True too. He’s being used horribly, not set up for success, no support, mostly isolated. And then you add in his already low confidence. Bloody horrendous
I really love the bloke but he’s got to do something about this fucking confidence. At some point you’re going to raise your level or you’re going to just let the pressure consume you for good. He’s gotta have some fucking composure.
That’s not really the point. He bloody can’t hit a strike on goal, he can’t create space for himself, every shot is over or blocked. We need him to be better and rise up to the challenge.
But who cares I guess. This club is rotten.
expected today's performance.
our def was shit. my deepest fear that Jamaal is actually needed is coming back in my mind.
our mid was shit. we needed a full overhaul of the entire cm grouping tbh. the Longstaffs are the only ones that should be staying.
miggy, joelinton are the lowest confidence players i've ever seen.
fuck off ashley. bruce. charnley. steve nickson.
