He seems to have the mentality of a 13 year old not a 23 year old. Compare him to Branthwaite who’s the same age for example.
It’s a far bigger concern to me than the lack of goals.
Lad has a terrible attitude, to go with terrible ability. Not a good combination for someone expecting to be a PL footballer.
Beto is bad, but you can never accuse him of not giving 110%, Barry's been here 5 minutes and has basically publicly...
I’m not saying we weren’t rubbish, also bit unfair to say they’re just a newly promoted side, they’d have gone second if they beat us.
All I’m saying is we can talk a lot about managers, systems, stats, etc. but on a base level if players are...
Not sure how much you can blame a manager for when players are missing tap ins and 2 vs 1s.
At a certain point you have to see a system works if it’s creating chances, the players not converting are the problem. We win that easily 3-1 or 2-1...
At a certain point you cannot blame a manager for much. Individual problems and lack of capable players in certain positions are the failings of this team.
….the operation might do the trick. Ironically, I thought Tarkowski would be the one following his more severe hamstring injury but he’s been an ever-present (touch wood).
I recall Barkley had a severe issue and had an op, he seemed fine since.
I suppose the hope would be at least at CB you can work around physical limitations a lot more, and he won’t need to sprint constantly. He needs to get a good 2 seasons of consistently playing for me to be relied upon.
It’s easy to forget but around 2020 Holgate was definitely looking like he’d be a good PL CB, or more basically my point is he certainly didn’t look like he’d be Qatari second division at 28 or whatever he is now.
In moments Branthwaite...
Injuries are getting a bit much for him now at this point. Defenders develop a lot at his age and there's a reason people can see potential in players, if you miss too many games though you'll never reach the heights. From our perspective it's...
