This really.
His goal got us back to 0-0, after he contributed nothing in the first 45 minutes.
If Gylfi had produced that performance the narrative would be very different. There have been times when he’s scored winners (not just an equaliser) and the first thing people say is “good thing he scored because he was crap otherwise”.
Yeah, James was poor yesterday.
I really don't think playing central suits unless it's how he played v Wolves - basically just off the forward.
I saw the logic yesterday and in the first 15 mins he got on the ball a lot. But when he's central he tends to drop deep. That shouldn't have been an issue yesterday if he was at his best because the pass was on to Richarlison a lot, but he wasn't at his best and every time he dropped back, he had two men on him.
Say it time and time again, he can't do anything in that situation other than pass it. He's not got the pace to do anything from that situation. So it's either pick out a Hollywood pass or give it simple/try and win a foul.
Took his goal brilliantly and it's that moment of quality which I don't think any of our other players can deliver - the touch and finish were sublime.
He'll know he didn't have his best game. And on Wednesday I'd like to see him played on the right again, because that's his best position.
