nufcjmc Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 Based on his transfer fee, age and assume modest wage I can see why we offered a year we simply don't have the budget to overhaul the squad to the level it needs to down to the 3rd choice levels. In theory he can play more than one position and doesn't seem mad warming the bench if 1st and second choice are fit. However the theory goes out the window when you try and rely upon 3rd choice to start games. He was poor today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to get rid of the average/poor players who are still in the squad. Expand 100% this. It is costing us points, and ultimately might cost us Europe.

Smal Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 thought he was fine and I think people should probably remember he was out injured for well over a year and had only played 140 minutes in the premier league this season before tonight. He's gonna have to play most of the rest of the season now so get used to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufi Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 I think everything we can say about him could be said about most CL/Europa league clubs 3rd/4th choice fullback. I didn’t expect him to come on and play like Cafu. He didn’t cost us the match but he didn’t make a difference. He’s an emergency backup who plays a few positions. Hard to be annoyed with him for being exactly what we all know he is. Probably could have just promoted a young player for that role and saved some money on salary as opposed to extending him. Meh.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 He was fine, he’s just very limited. And Schar doesn't seem to want to pass to him. Not that I blame the team for going more to the left when the right is Longstaff/Murphy/Krafth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They’re only costing us points because they’re playing too much really. Of course eventually they all need to go, but how quickly can you overhaul an entire squad?
