In terms of the in the role of RB, he looks out of place for me honestly. Positionally a bit all over the place and very easy to bypass (and not just in this match). He however does look very good on the ball and fairly switched on. He fits the style of football we want to play although it feels he gets beaten too regularly, he is tenacious. I agree he looks promising but I can see how the midfield and DM in particularly will suit him long-term.
Bingo, Bullet.
It’s great experience for him, he hasn’t cost us tonight but he’s been poor defensively any time I’ve seen him. The boy will be a player but playing him at right back now is a risk especially when it’s Johnson in front of him who doesn’t offer a lot of help.
We won the bedtimes too!
Just seen the highlights
Correct
Early front runner for player of the season
True he struggled at at times but second half he mostly pressured his opponent into passing back rather than taking him on.
Who was he up against?
But not against one of the best wingers in the world. Nunez isn't a winger and never went at Gray with the ball at his feet but he looked like very dangerous at times due to the time and space he had to ghost into dangerous positions constantly.
Cuti was marking the space in front of the goal, and edging towards the front post, so Gray tracked Mcatee's run in, so the goalscorer was free.
Because that is the normal time for hamstring injury, and he has history with it too. 4 weeks minimum.
None of them saw any football....
It is a risk. Seems like a risk worth taking to me. Particularly with Spence still injured.
According to Ange Romero came off because of fatigue. If so says something about how far he's pushed himself. Copa this summer, playing a lot for us, travels and internationals.
