Well I wasn't suggesting any of that, just saying that people saying he's not at fault is wrong. Also what does absolving him of blame accomplish here?
Genuine question, why? Surely Darlow must be at least as good as Elliot.
Why must he be as good as Elliot? Elliot isn't that bad, and Darlow was considerably worse in the game he played
He can defend, it is his concentration because he finds it so easy that is his problem.
Aye has plenty of ability. Concentration is arguably the most important attribute for a defender though tbf
C'mon man Elliot is only alright but its not like he's letting high balls fall out of his hands and letting in howlers every week. There is every chance Darlow could be considerably worse
This is the only game I've seen them play but they seem to pressing high without the ball and play direct when they have the ball. Tbf you aren't going to play beautiful football with Northern Ireland
Give over, man. When was the last time someone said "Those Geordies are morons - they wouldn't even play Rooney over Kane and Vardy!"
Well that's not what he said man
I think it's pretty realistic that he has a slight knock and doesn't want to risk it on an absolute nothing game and Blind has tried to overcompensate by trying to make it look like he's really committed. The thing about wanting to attract other clubs doesn't make any sense to me anyway as they'll be watching way more intently of him playing in a relegation battle than they will be in a meaningless friendly
