not too bad. Hooiveld's defending for that set piece was very poor. I remember against west ham he stood in front of carrol and just let him have it. He can look alright at times but his marking at set pieces would suggest he's not good at defending. Could have scored from a quality corner put in by JWP - his corners have beenhandy. Looks like he could score from a freekick as well. I couldn't always make out who was who but I thought lallana was rubbish, you would expect thismidfield to struggle to create but he has looked especially poor.
This pretty much. Can see us turning a few of last year's losses into draws, but not so many draws into wins until we find some extra cutting edge. It's an improvement for sure, but none of it is in the final third going forward.
Oh yeah. I noticed it as well when he posted videos on Instagram. You can tell from his neck/face that he has lost some serious weight.
He was the same at Viola. Dropped some serious weight. Seems the training in the heat is good for his waistline
