Thought he played well and should have had a few assists
21st century Rodney Marsh.
Shoehorning him into the the starting 11 is going to/has cost us the title.
The transfer fee aside, he offers fuck all
Needs a proper striker up front to play to/off. Without one, he's a bit of a luxury and will in most situations end up passing the ball backwards.Run in the box with the ball constantly is what he should have been doing in the second half , wasting the chance for the defenders to have to make a decision , just cant see what he offers getting there and passing it back , very frustrating player and everyone else is moved to squeeze him in
I think phil should have been hooked for raz for that reason , he gets in the right positions for tap in , surprised pep didnt give that half hour as we were getting nowhereNeeds a proper striker up front to play to/off.

Couple of good crosses last night begging for someone to try to bundle the ball in from positions that Raheem usually takes up.
It's not rocket science.
We need to be smarter and faster in such circumstance. Our defence needs to drop ten yards and lengthen the pitch rather than take the ball deeper into the opponent‘s half and condense it further. We also need to take greater risks and play more vertical passes than rely on horizontal passes. I’m sure we’ll get more practice in the coming weeks, alas.
You’re talking absolute shit mate, gets dispossessed with ease ??? He rarely gives the ball away and his ball retention is actually one of his strongest assets.my problem isnt that he "does things safely" its that he's fucking shit when he tries to take risks. gets dispossessed with almost shocking ease.
one of us has got to get their eyes checked mate i dont know anymore lolYou’re talking absolute shit mate, gets dispossessed with ease ??? He rarely gives the ball away and his ball retention is actually one of his strongest assets.
ALSO was one of our best creators last night with his risk taking.
