oh those punts. Those awful long aimless punts. You can see our outfield players wondering what the hell they are meant to do with them.
Our forward players are all pretty short, and not particularly good in the air, which is why he avoids playing it long whenever possible, presumably at his manager's request. On the occasions when he is forced to do so, it's not surprising that we don't win it.
No goalkeeper in the world would consistently pick out players with long punts with our forwards. It's an unrealistic expectation. His distribution stats are right up there.
Felt a bit sorry for him today.
At 2-0 we were in complete control and Spurs never looked like threatening.
Good distribution and swept up well.
I definitely felt sorry for him. He only faced 2 shots and there's nothing he could do for either. He must be begging for a sighter, just some opportunity to get his hands on the ball and a bit of confidence early on.

It's a conundrum this defence.
We don't concede that many chances but the ones we do are gift wrapped with a bow on top.
Pep must be beside himself with not only shite officials but our defensive options.
Also, anyone saying his long kicking was poor is talking shite. It was quality today and set up a couple of attacks for us. Like having a quarterback at times
I wouldn't go that far, don't quarterbacks use their hands?
i think your dressing it up in order to support him and the club which is fair but I just see an awful use of the ball consistently and a pretty average (at best) keeper. When we make a bad signing it drags us down for far too long, Garcia for example, Fernando, now Stones. IMO we've got to raise our expectations. If a player can't hit the ground running then punt them long and far.Our forward players are all pretty short, and not particularly good in the air, which is why he avoids playing it long whenever possible, presumably at his manager's request.

IMO we should be getting close now to playing the youth as default and only signing the very very best. And Bravo disappointingly isn't anywhere near the best.

Christ, you're writing Stones off as well?!
he should have come off his line for the 1st......and for the second if he was positioned more central he should have got a hand to itI definitely felt sorry for him.
