This is an important area for him to improve in for sure. He does not lack the desire or effort to contribute, just the specific skillset. I believe it is coachable.

Yes. Tbf the whole team struggled to deal with Brentford’s movement and we were often looking around trying to figure out who to mark rather than it being instinctive. That lost second always keeps you behind the play at this level (and credit where it’s due Brentford were excellent in their cohesiveness).

But he consistently shows the desire and application to learn and improve so I will continue to back him.

A little post in appreciation for that here. They looked superbly coached I thought.

They had a blinding pre season
No silly long journeys
Added to what they already had
And player to the strengths of the squad
Knowing them they already know who they will sign to replace their new man
No coincidence that clubs with real structure have hit the ground running post work cup

I posted in the match thread they are my surprise team for this season. They have…
- managerial continuity from last season
- a difference-maker at CF
- a good home record
- no European football
- an midfield upgrade from Henderson to Sangare.

While we were admittedly way off the pace on Saturday, they do strike me as the team most capable of pushing for a CL/EL spot outside of the usual candidates.

Let's hope so. It was clearly not that coachable with Sonny. He could only press high. He didn't have a scooby about the rest of defending even as he crossed into his thirties. He couldn't select the right position or time to drop into. He didn't have an interest in tracking runners and he certainly never opened his mouth and worked with the other players around him. I'm just surprised Lloris didn't lose his stuff with him way more often.

A very fair point!!!

It begs a deeper question as to whether Sonny would've been able to develop into, err, Sonny in this specific era?

About the only one of the currently fit attack I would want to persevere with...

There isn’t anyone in our attack that is persevere with.

They will be up there
Leeds will be too
They have made some very solid signings
Both these two will be annoying all the sides this season imo
Very side in Europe apart from arsenal will have some real blips because nine have the depth imo
That opens up loads of opprtunity

Yep. Spot on.

I think Utd will slip badly as they have very little depth for a club of their size.
