Not replacing Gini has always felt like a mistake to me. Thiago is quality but Gini almost never got injured. Add in Keita and Jones' frequent injuries and the above is what we're left with. Unfortunately Elliott's injury set back his development as well.
So not a foul on diaz being pushed and bundled to the ground… hit a foul 3 seconds later when Martinez flops over
We might as well experiment here, for the 3rd match in a row the usual tactics havmt worked. Try cavalio at false 9, or am with mo through the middle. Two sitting midfielders, a right back than can be arsed. Novel concepts but may help
Elliott , Milner, Henderson, is that a joke? I’ve just got home from a long drive from Stansted. I had hoped to listen to the live commentary on 5live only they’ve forgot something on called the Monday Night Club. Mark Chapman et al talking bollocks. They couldn’t even put the commentary on 5live sports extra on DAB as they’ve e got the Waste if space hundred Cricket on. The two biggest teams in Britain ( in terms of achievements) and they can’t even prove live commentary. What a joke.
Keep saying Bobby is finished and dad's army midfield not doing us any favours. Just shocking performance,rabbit in headlights.
Now and then link up looks good and get through them Milner just looking so out of place out there. Just times where he can’t even kick the ball properly.
I said the midfield wasn’t good enough last season. Thiago is made of biscuit and then you’re relying on Henderson, Fab and Milner for creativity Keita is hit and miss. Bobby should have gone before the season started. This team needs a tactical redress
How the **** does Milner not score that… free header 4 yards out ffs and puts it so wide that Bruno almost scored
Can't just be one player. There is something off, perhaps the lack of incoming compared to the outgoing has put a downer on things.
