He can't drop off and drift and also be expected to press and be our out ball When we're in possession there's no reason he can't. It's up to someone else to take the space he leaves. He's totally wasted standing on a centre half watching the rest of them painfully knock it about trying to create something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had someone alongside him it would be that player but we've got no one anywhere near him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had someone alongside him it would be that player but we've got no one anywhere near him My overall point is we don't have the players to break down an organised low block. Players interchanging positions is a good alternative to creating openings with fast and neat football. For some reason we've become very rigid and predictable.

Someone get him a tampon for his nose injury. Eddie after the match said ball to the eye and his vision was impaired so they had to get him off straight away.

David Edgar Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I am being harsh and everyone is spot on that he is feeding on scraps. I do think his general play outside the box can sometimes lack a level of decisiveness or dominance. I think that might just be down to us not being able to dominate teams and him having little to go on. I imagine he'd look ultra imposing in a dominant team where his deficiencies would be hidden.

Kanji Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Loved him being involved in the general play; found we lost everything about us going forward hte minute Longstaff telegraphed a simple pass to the opposition that led to their goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
