alexf Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) Yeah last few games, his lack of legs have been massively evident. But it's almost that aging thing where in his head he can still get there but his body is a yard slower. Needs to retreat more and cover the space instead of being as aggressive is the only thing I can think of, unless we can partner him with someone that can cover for this lack of mobility. But that isn't happening with the current personnel available. Like I wonder if we concede that first goal against Chelsea if he just backed off and tried to slow Neto down instead of going all or nothing. Probably still concede as Burn was never catching Jackson either. It's tricky because being aggressive is what actually helps his lack of athleticism normally by not getting turned and running the wrong way and nicking the ball high instead. But just like Trippier, once you lose a bit too much from the legs, those split seconds being late to the tackle cost you massively. Either you get booked for a late tackle or you miss the player completely and they are in behind you. Edited October 31 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Still a wonderful player on the ball, but if he wants more than a one year deal, think it’s time to go our separate ways end of season, as the lack of pace and being late to things only going to get more frequent over time.

huss9 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 should have been made captain instead of bruno. he's class. on the match cam after the first goal you can see him not getting carried away with the celebrations. he's busy gathering the rest of the players for a quick huddle and team talk.

Yeah, very much captain material. Always thought that. He just has a tendency to berate sometimes. Edited October 31 by Ronaldo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
