Bye bye Ivan. Thanks for the five assists and one goal and atrocious defending.
I think we did better up front overall without Perisic last season.His defensive performances have been gash, but his 5 assists have been kind of useful. Just another big, fat disappointment overall though. COYS...
Imagine if we had FA Cup and League Cup and CL Cup games to play alongside the Prem games. We'd have nobody left.We all know that injurys are part and parcel of football but we have been hit hard this season.
That doesn't mean a lot when there's hardly ever any teammates in the box and when there is they fail to win headers.
Indeed, with us likely not having a huge transfer fund this summer, it might make sense to keep Perisic as competition/cover for the LWF role and use the potential £27m for Danjuma on our priority positions - a left sided centre back that can play in a two, a central attacking creative midfielder and a goalkeeper , in order of importance IMO…. Assuming of course we now lurch to a 4 at the back manger for our next experiment.That doesn't mean a lot when there's hardly ever any teammates in the box and when there is they fail to win headers.
You saw on Saturday , a better performance from Perisic when we got on the front foot but when we sat deeper , a poorer performance. He's a much better lwb when we are pressing high as he's really a left winger.

Said it before but i will say it again, he has been a great player in his time but that time has passed and i would let him go at the end of the season.
I said it before, think he wants to go, he knows he's struggling with the pace/physicality for a WB role in the PL
If we wanted an older Pro, he was willing to not play every game and we were willing to play him in a more midfield/wide forward role, different, keeping him the year extra would be fine.
Agreed, which is why during Sons downturn I was shocked he wasn't used more as a plan B in that role.He'd be much better in a front 3 where he doesn't have to run fully up and dwn the pitch. How many wingbacks are aged 30 plus for heaven's sake...
