Do you know what’s funny about this? Only Lanzini is a regular! Randy is our 2nd choice keeper, Rice and Quina have only made the bench, Fernendes has only appeared 6 times mostly from the bench, Carroll has played a dozen times and Collins is our 4th choice CB. Bobby Moore hasn’t played once! I think I know where Slaven has gone wrong this season
I know a lot are sold on Fernandes but best signing? Really? All I can say is I hope we do better next season.
An interesting stat in the paper. We are second after WBA in the list of goals from corners-11 (25% ). AC is not- obviously- the only one on the end of these. But if he is replaced we presumably have to change our style or find a similar player?
Perhaps you need to see what games we scored from corners in and how many of them Poppadom was actually p!aying in first before you can assess that predicament 64.
I will leave it in your capable hands.I expect a detailed analysis on my desk by midday 😂
I have a lot of daytime to to watch you know!
AC has scored 7 & this year he has managed at least a couple with those delicate little feet of his. So I’m guessing 4/5 of the 11 are his. He has made a couple as well, which might have been knock ons from corners. Not much help is it- good point though. Ah where is that remote?
