Just shaken hands with Abel Hernandez in the Preston Hotel I'm staying in - he looks fit and raring to go for tomorrow.
I don't give a **** if he has the clubs crest tattooed across his arsecheeks, we can't afford to carry players in the team who aren't contributing. Since he's come back from injury he's done **** all but because he's Mr "I'm a ****ing hard grafter who typifies the most important part of being a footballer" the fans seem to think he's undroppable. Kindly list 3 things he did yesterday that made absolutely any difference to the result whatsoever. When he's 100%, he's a vital member of the team. At present, he isn't doing anything other than give the ball away and be lazy/knackered as ****.
Won the midfield battle with Jake. Closed the gaps, won the headers scrapped it out. Got the ball wide at every opportunity to Clucas or Dave/Elmo.
Jake did that all by himself. I've watched him in every game since he came back in the team and he's steadily gotten less effective. I'm not saying he's a **** footballer, I just want him rested or sorted out so he goes back to being good again. Like you said, he's vital to the midfield, but I've seen zero evidence of it so far and aside from one or two passes that he couldn't possibly **** up yesterday, I don't recall him doing any of the stuff you just said.
No, I was on way to my room after a meal and passed a few players in amber gear. They are all eating in one of the conference rooms.
FFS HGs you've got to get hold of Brucey and find out the team. Give him some advice. Tell him a plan B FFS
