It's not the left back Townsend needs to worry about, it's the left-sided centre half who will be looking to crunch him when he cuts inside and then looks to make room for the shot again and again and again and again.
So Brummie, are your team so s**** that they don't watch scouting vids and develop rudimentary strategies to stop the opposing team's most "in-form" player and his one trick? Because, given our troubles crafting chances, the whole result might hinge on the answer to that question.
You're bitter about Townsend for some reason, which is weird. He goes down the outside and puts in a good early ball on his right plenty of times, hardly a one trick pony.
