No chance of that. I don't think Clemet rates Leon. Only picks him when every other midfield option has ran out.
Our final pass is absolute rubbish. We need more energy in midfield and please someone make some runs!
Poor first half overall, hopefully the scuffle at the end of that half will put some fire into the players belly's because they need something.
Difficulties arise when players don't play together very often but TBH Sanches' passing when under no pressure is weak. Also fed up of Mawson ballooning 40 yard passes (admittedly I'm not a fan). Routledge not having a good game (I am a fan). Rangel doing well, Bony coming into things, Mesa is on the pitch ... apparently.
Very pleased we don't give up many goals , basically terrified we cant get anywhere near a goal attempt little on a goal . Our attack needs a lot of Clements attention and it doesn't seem to be an issue with him , hope it becomes one soon .
I agree - Rangel, despite all the moaning that 'his legs have gone' - is still our best right back. He's having a good game tonight.
Clement is playing a dangerous waiting game imo breezy. He's waiting for Bony to get fit, waiting for Abraham to click, waiting for Sanchez to wake up. I'm wondering how much longer the wait will go on. Our attack stems from a creative midfield and we don't have one. If Reading score tonight we're screwed because we've got no sting anywhere in the squad.
My worry is not only have we abandoned the wings but also the middle . 5 at the back and 3 up front don't leave much for a ton of midfielders . I like sugars 5 - 3 - 2 with Abraham and Bony both playing
