Yeh Neil has been decent tonight other than just now when he ran the ball forwards then seemed to not know what to do and just stopped
Humour me if samed was fit and lived up to his billing would Neil be in the brown role here? for me slightly further forward is more natural and matching his characteristics
Not for me. Neils role is the holding one. He will play as a 6 in the european places of the prem in my opinion. The more space he looks at the more options he sees.
Yeh I’m not saying he’s not a 6. He’s just a better 8 than Browne is. So if Samed ends up being an elite 6, I’d play Neil as an 8 when one of Jobe and Rigg are out
they’ve had two yellows to our one. We’ve had 20 free kicks to their 9. this idea he’s only giving stuff to Preston just doesn’t add up
I was thinking of the blatant one on Neil to stop the attack. Usually a yellow at this stage of a game. Taking one for the team as they usually call it.
