Having watched it back. I noticed our midfield feels disjointed right now. A lot of the time with Hamburg the midfield would rotate with the defenders allowing some of the creative players to pick up the ball on the half turn on the half way line with an opportunity to run or pick a pass. I'm guessing its a tactical choice but Mehlem often acts as a second striker and then Slater was linking up wide with the right wing often leaving very little in the middle or options when playing out.
The Sinik treatment is probably just that no one wants to take him off our hands. If anyone was offering a fee to take him on a permanent like Westerlo were with Allahyar then I'm sure he'd have gone long ago.
Sinik gets smoke blown up his arse by the owner is more what I mean. He’s desperate for him to be a success here and I think it’s fully down to it being a deal he personally arranged and chose to go through with
I think it has got to the stage a bit like you just spent a lot of money getting your car through its MOT, and if you sell you are going to lose money, so you keep it hoping nothing else goes wrong. Mostly, it better to cut your loses and get rid.
Just watch the behind the Tiger on Tiger Plus, and it's worth mentioning that Jarvis's lay off to Coyle at the start of the move was a nice piece of work. On a lighter note, when I saw this at first I thought a load of people in Burqa's were in the dugout.
