Ronaldo Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Given that we haven’t won a game without him since he signed 2 years ago I’d have to say Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt from me that he's the best signing since the takeover and one of the best signings during my years following the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Guy is burned. 3 goal leading Mistakes in 3 matches is fucking terrible. Time for a long mental reset and let Tino take over for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, something like that would do, although keeping Tino in his preferred position will not downgrade the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the exquisitness of Willocks pass depend on Isak scoring ? Is it a lesser pass if Isak puts it wide ? It's why assists is a shit metric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I don’t think playing him away from home is an advantage currently with the rubbish we play on the road. At home is a completely different story, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all of the 5 mistakes that Trippier made in the past few weeks didn't end in a goal, do you think that we would not have noticed them? And therefore he has actually been fine lately? Because that's basically the same as your logic here. You can use this as an excuse for any defensive mistake ever. Titus Bramble was actually fine, the problem is that the opponents kept scoring when he made a mistake. If they had missed the chances then it would've been all good!

Mahoneys Tache Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 If a number nine makes a mistake a fluffs an easy chance but scores next chance no one remembers the previous error. They do it all the time. Like it says on another thread, Cole missed more than he scored but all we remember are his goals. defenders and keepers don’t have that luxury.

What if a striker misses an easy chance at 90+2 which would've won it, and then he takes a terrible penalty in the shootout right after? Now, what if the same striker has also missed 5-6 absolute sitters + a pen in his last 4 games, without scoring a goal? Would we be talking about it, and possibly also suggest a break? Yes, I'd say.. Especially when we have other options. Edited December 21, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we have other options. I would probably recognise the mistakes he'd made at worst and move past them pretty quickly seeing as he's scored 30 goals in each of his last 2 seasons for us. Perspective and context is important.
