I'd question why these rumours are spreading and say I'm pleased he moved on when he did having grown with us and likely accomplished as much as he was ever going to.
Because that’s what happens with the internet. It amazes me that people always accept them at face value and never learn. Already been pretty vindictive rumours circulating about Patterson, Neil, Mundle, Le Fee etc etc in just the last few weeks all initially accepted as read.
 
While it’s certainly true he doesn’t waste the ball, I’d always prefer him getting his shot as an out and out string puller. With the possible exception of Xhaka, the new lads can’t make us tick the same way. And while we’d definitely lose a bit in terms of energy (though ELF is no slouch) the increase in passing ability from the middle was more what we needed against a team playing deep. He’s also incredibly press resistant - and once Burnley scored we were gonna get a lot of the ball. Could have allowed us some extra risks. If he’d really wanted to have elf out wide it would have made sense to go with a 4-4-2 imo. Still think that would help Mayenda - but it’s another thing that we didn’t really try much this summer.
Yep. There was a case for him floating around behind the CF yesterday. He's the cleverest player we have and maybe getting him nearer the goal might have worked.

All to find out. Two games in and a lot of new lads in the side.

The lad will be a superstar. I’m happy backing him to the hilt

**disclaimer I’m bank holiday drinking just in case I come out with any nonsense …
Agree. A bit more service on the ground, a few less high ones. Even if he wins them, they aren't going to come to much.

We'll get there.
