How was Colo a bottler last season? He never bottled anything, he was just caught out by big, fast strikers like Ricardo Fuller and Ishmael Miller.
You could certainly say that Oba was a bottler (dubious injuries), that Nolan was a bottler (for hiding from the ball) or that Given was a bottler (leaving) - but how so for Colo?
They are like us in a way, I agree with Dave. You know they're better than they are and yet very little in the final third is coming off.
Watch them win it with an individual bit of skill.
Butt had a fairly mixed game today. Lost loads of balls as usual but did seem to pick up the knack of clearing the ball from the penalty area when Colo and Enrique had finished faffing about with it under pressure.
Still needs to be dropped obviously for Monday. No way can his legs play two games in three days ffs.
No, the reason we went out to AZ was because Carr ducked out at the last moment on a whim, leaving Huntington shoehorned in at left back (so not his natural position and also he was just a kid).
Fucking scandalous how the Chronicle gave him 2/10 the next day mind.
