Anyway I was thinking more fans than Rafa There was even less room for Armstrong that season tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Everton started brightly, some good crosses, fans seemed behind them then Keane dallied, Arma finished and it's been mostly Saints after that. Few boos at half time, Rafa on a hiding to nothing there like, no patience, owners will obviously give him time but some of their tosser fans can't wait to turn and be "right" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye well that's because we signed players blocking his path. Doesn't matter anyway he was never going to be a Rafa type striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just finding his feet obviously but Armstrong was effectively a League 1 player at that point. But yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Bailey comes on and creates a goal straight away for Villa. No idea why they started with Young and El Ghazi out wide and left Bailey and Traore on the bench. Strange. Edited August 14, 2021 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
