He put in the cross for the goal last week. But he goes missing in games. Some of his crossing is tepid. That corner where he squared it back to Shelvey and then the ball came out to him and he had two attempts at crossing. But cocked them both up. He’s been a flop. 4/10
And when he runs around because he’s that small it looks like he’s flying but he’s not actually covering much ground. Another cast off from a relegated side. Just like Lewis.
Given that our very own headless chicken is better than him, we have a lot of problems. Without headless and ASM, we are screwed.
Hard to judge really. Playing with below average players, in a side bereft of confidence and he's hardly been fit all season. Then we've added playing out of position. One thing for sure though is his performances and what we've got from him in output terms is poor. I'll be honest though, he is a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Our central midfield is still the big problem. As many of us pointed out pre season. We needed a destroyer and a ball player. We bought neither. So I don't know why anyone is surprised. Its the single most important position in PL football. I think we have the 20th best central midfield.
Well he's better than Hendrick.... We seem to carry more threat when he's around, if we're gonna get goals we need him in the team really. The Longstaffs seem to have dissappeared without trace, so what other options have we got?
