Kamara isn't really a Sergej type of player though, is he? I liked him last season but I can't see how he fits in now.
Hard to know, he looked pretty direct for pompey and even for us I think of that game against Leeds where he broke the lines well. I wouldn't put it past the Jak.
Does he? I think that's a cop out. Kamara's tracking back v WBA as one example that springs to mind. Think his languid style belies the effort he puts in.
Interesting watching the replay again. As called earlier, Coyle plays him on, so making up for his mistake. But hadn't noticed before, Ajayi just stood there with his hand raised! Had he tracked back there'd have been no tackle to make! Some tackle still though. Amazed Egan didn't get more MoM votes. I like Ajayi, and haven't been a big fan of Egan's, but Egan had the better game imo. Held them together 1st half when we were getting battered, then was a rock 2nd half.
I had him 4th I just think the way Ajayi defends in an aggressive way kills the attack. There was an instance when Ajayi had 3 attempts going for the ball and it forced the Stoke player to take the ball the width of the pitch before playing it to a full back. In previous weeks. That player would have been allowed to take it towards our goal and pick a pass. Egan was immense in Saturday though. Reads the game so well.
He’s had lapses in concentration but he showed time and time again that he puts the effort in. Remember that one time he sprinted from attacking the right wing all the way across the pitch to making a slide tackle in the left back position?
