2023/24 Ashley Young

[riddick]

the long and short of it is he has cost us points in matches, multiple times. with our position in the league the whole "fool me once...." should have applied. instead our manager "trusts" a player that has failed on the pitch time and time again.

I don't care, even slightly, what a player does in training. if they can't or won't produce on the pitch when it matters, nothing else matters.

….up against an in-form Gordon next.

 

[SJB]

Average EPL goals conceded with Sir Ashley in the team is 0.92. If only we could put away the chances at the other end of the pitch to build on the solid base this legend of football gives us.

 

[Moomin]

We need a new right back but unfortunately the Jan Window will be more about us selling than buying

 

[hallamblue]

He got a 8.76 rating from Whoscored for yesterdays game and was our best passer.

They obviously don't count crosses

It's a worry

It's a worry

It really is. The pace Gordon has and how direct he is running. And with Livramento overlapping as much as he does. fully expect an early yellow.

Harrison is going to have his work cut out.

 

[terryefc]

Play him until he's booked. Hopefully he'll let Gordon know he's marking him.

Wallop. Yellow card. 5 minutes in. Make it a good un. Patterson on.

 

[terryefc]

Funnily enough whilst Patterson deserves to at least be first change - I think Seamus will contain Gordon. As long as we're not kamikaze attacking.

While teams at the top can spend what they want.

Not a bad things getting rid of some of these players though.

From what i heard, Patterson is not his biggest fan. Im sure hed love to get 1 over on him, but could be risky as well.

 

[jonnyg]

Hopefully we'll be smart enough to get Gordon on an early booking, won't be hard to do. Patterson should be starting regardless

 

[Evertonthat]

Gordon's going to be diving all over the shop the second Young gets close to him. Yellow expected in the first 15.

Absolute crackers. Young is head and shoulders our best right back of late and who's available. Was arguably man of the match at the weekend. He has class. Trust the manager and coaching staff.

I can see seamus coming back for the barcodes. In which case it's all golden. Young could contain him fine if needed though.
