Yes, everybody knows that, its about him being better than Joelinton, not being a top striker or anything

Like I put on the previous page, at least Bentaleb was showing for the ball to receive it before he misplaced his passes. Find this as a defence of Gayle very odd tbh. If he’s missing chances once he’s in those positions, what’s the point of that? Because it's getting us up the field/into the box, creating chances for other players, winning corners, causing confusion in the opposition defence, etc. You clearly just have an agenda against Gayle because it's pretty obvious that it's better to be missing chances than not having them at all

But Joelinton does set up more chances for teammates when they actually get up in support of him. I'm not sure that's true. Gayle's support play is quite good, played a great through ball to ASM at the weekend to put him through on goal

Barca will still win the league, very consistent despite their issues

Games today and tomorrow going ahead now but can't see it continuing after this weekend for a while

I'm not sure what Joelinton is if he isn't a striker. Looks more out of place on the wing IMO

Wew

We were playing better and creating chances before the sending off

Against a Championship team's B team

Aye and we did well in the 2017/18 run in, no? I remember two home games in that run-in (Southampton & Huddersfield?) where he missed at least 4-5 chances like yesterday. It was the likes of Kenedy, Diame, even Slimani in a couple of the late wins that dragged us to safety. He scored 3 in 20 games in the run-in that season. Aye but the team as a whole played better when he was brought in, just like yesterday. It doesn't matter who scores the goals as long as they're scored

Not the greatest technically is completely wrong like

Aye and we did well in the 2017/18 run in, no?

Joelinton doesn't get into those positions

Thought that Valery kid actually did pretty well one on one bar the error for the goal. ASM is the only reason to watch us though

If that's a needless sprint then most sprints are needless. He's stopping his man from getting forward with the ball in the last minute and putting in a good tackle

Gerrin ASM FC

Shane Long is like a terrier

They've reorganised well since half time

Gayle may be having a shocker but his movement is really helping us play better

ASM doubled up every time

Feel like ASM would be liable to kick them out of the stadium tbh, and I love him

Rarely has a team fucked themselves so badly

Gayle's finishing Getting into great positions though which is an improvement

Will be canny in the championship next season/ 2021/22 tbf
