    Yeah, he would've buried that chance when Downs was one on one with the GK.

    This is the crux of it for me. He's made a big thing about not being wedded to one style and liking to change things up so he needs to show it now.

    TBH, it really shouldn't be that difficult to find a style that suits Archer, Azaz, Fellows and Armstrong. All 4 are top players at this level.

    That is so annoying! When we scored in what, the 8th minute (?) on Saturday, I honestly expected us to go on win comfortably. Would love to know what the instructions from the bench after we scored because we immediately sat back. I know teams are often vulnerable just after scoring but we played like we were 5-0 up for the rest of the game and got burned. Also like to know why (it seems) Archer is out of favour.
