    More worryingly rules of football state if you miss this many chances you concede an equaliser late on

    Must be time for someone to go down injured

    A central defender for a centre forward? Surely we are not going to try and sit back ?

    Feels risky against Norwich, are we going to invite them onto us too much?

    I can only assume it is to push the full backs up more

    It’s more that he isn’t a lone striker

    Combined 454 appearances for the centre midfield partnership. Pretty incredible really

    I’m surprised he didn’t get on. Maybe it’s just not clicking in training?

    Oriol's league goalscoring tally, by year:

    15/16 - 1
    16/17 - 1
    17/18 - 1
    18/19 - 1
    19/20 - 0
    20/21 - 1
    21/22 - 1

    2019-20 was a real down season for him.

    The words "Why does it always fall to Romeu?" entered my mind one micro second before I was forced to retract them :D

    Easy game but a slightly hard watch.
