I would argue he does. I think he needs to do more, he’s got more in his locker than he’s showing. He was our only player playing little slide balls in to the forwards feet today. Didn’t hide and in particular second half tried to drive us on. Personally wouldn’t jettison him just yet
Watch the game again, maybe meditate first to lose the hate you’ll see some nice dinked balls up the line to Digne, some clever little balls to Richy and Doms feet, a very good chance created for Dom off a set piece and a decent-ish shot on target. Some nice switches of play too. Some dodgy moments too and has a tendency to get caught on his heels on second balls when obviously he should be up on his toes. As i said far from perfect but i wouldn’t jettison just yetWhat exactly does he do? What does he have in his locker? I can’t think of anything he excels at. His passing is average at the absolute best of times, that’s because all he ever does is give it to whoever is closest to him.
Gravesen had drive in him and fight, also could tackle and score, Gomes offers us nothing, apart from giving fouls away on the edge of the boxLike Sigurdsson he is suited to a 4-2-3-1 unfortunately for him we have moved away from this system. He tried yesterday but what we needed from him he wasn't able to deliver. We needed a player who could drive forward with the ball and that just isn't his game. He his a player who assists the assisted ie slide balls down the side for crosses into the box. He reminds me of Gravesen because when the team are bad he isn't quite often the worst player. However when the team plays well he looks up to the standard.
