They look solid. Narrow defeats to Arsenal and Spurs. Also took a point against Pool. Some hard games that and still they are some points above us. But as you said there will be more space for Isak/Wilson and hopefully Maximin. Maybe Almiron can produce something..maybe.
Ive been very critical of Almiron. Ive also said Murphy and Fraser are just as good. I was so wrong. Fraser just dont do anything. At least Almiron has pace very few defenders have. He sets up play with Bruno and Trippier. I know its more difficult with Targett but there is just nothing going on.
Yeah they are lively and graft every freaking game, but they are attacking players and they dont deliver what they are supposed to do. They wouldt be near the start eleven for most PL teams.
Like everyone he had an upturn. He cant get past his man, he doesnt set up other players in the team, his delivery is ok but thats about it. He gratfs like Almiron but the stats dont lie.
Is it knew jerk to expect a little more against on paper the poorest team in the league? Apart from the shot bonanaza before half time we barely tested the keeper. Would have been disappointed by this under Ashley
