I think dropping Coleman for an actual wing back would actually solve half of our problems. It’s just crazy self-sabotage from Lampard to keep playing him. I fully back him but that is an alarming blind spot he’s got and it can’t keep getting overlooked.
Boom. Give yourself a pat on the back because that is spot on Sir. It’s clear Lampard is picking Coleman because he’s “captain” (whatever that means with this team of wastrels) and he’s trying not to rock the boat too much after the last menace ostracised the squad. It’s bonkers picking a clearly finished player on anything other than playing merit at this point, conceding for fun and where we don’t look like scoring either, especially as he’s been the same “captain” overseeing horrific performances for bloody years. The players clearly don’t respond to him, the evidence is damning, so just because he’s been employed the longest shouldnt mean he’s a starter. This lad would offer pace and there’s no way the defence is worse off with him in it. picking “experience” has led this squad to where it currently is, you cannot carry players in this league. Patterson should of been playing a long time ago, theres no way we’d of picked up less points is there?
