I think we saw the two sides of him today - a great pass for Eriksen, and some nice touches - but that lack of thrust when goalscoring opportunities present themselves.
Should start ahead of Son.
we all need more thrust in life Milo...even you my ol sausage.
We've got some great options off the bench with Chadli, Son and Lamela all getting rotated round. Love Lamela's energy, still think he's got more to come though.
The pass to Eriksen was all the things that he hasn't been doing lately. He played the ball early and chose the simple pass. As to stats, all I said was that they are unreliable. They do not take into account everything that happens or DOES NOT happen on a football pitch...they are selective. I don't worship at that alter. I tell you it's getting like a cult.
I don't think that anyone has said that a small group of stats take into account everything that happens on a pitch. What I do think though, is that they are a lot less selective than peoples' memory.
This.I think he made good choices;
I. Decided he couldn't play the pass to guarantee a goal so instead
II. Didn't shoot (like most players would have)
So
III. Took it to the edge to see what else was on - saw no option or support, so took it to the corner.
They're still less selective than your brain's interpretation of what you see. It's not that memory in itself is bad (although length of passed time from event to recollection does have an effect), it's that everything on its way in and out of your brain goes through the filter of your* preconceptions.That's why I tend to watch twice.
