But we wouldn't be treated to 30 or 40 "cos i'm worth it" hair sweeps a game otherwise.Got to question his IQ when persisting with the Derek haircut
Agree. However, if some of our skilled but gutless players had his attitude to being benched and then regaining his spot, then they could learn a thing or two.Not good enough
Trust me, you don't want to know what I think of those guys. At least with him effort is not a concernAgree. However, if some of our skilled but gutless players had his attitude to being benched and then regaining his spot, then they could learn a thing or two.
He had a yellowHe has to foul on the goal winning rush. They were outnumbered on the counter.
At that point it doesn’t matterHe had a yellow
Absolutely, he got away with that one.Shouldve been sent off
Gotta agree. Him trying to catch that Fulham player was painful.I admire his resilience, strong character, he's got the right attitude and took an incredible amount of stick. Sadly he's not good enough or fast enough and past a very average peak. He can of course play well at times when the pace of the game suits him and for England that is more often the case.
Very few defenders would catch Traore once he gets going, to be fair.Gotta agree. Him trying to catch that Fulham player was painful.
sounds mean, but its true:His whole redemption arc was overrated and irritating. He is giving 6 or 7/10 performances and that has been celebrated because he was diabolical for 2 seasons. I admire his professionalism but that's it. He has to leave.
His stupid yellow card in the first half indirectly resulted in us conceding in the last minute.Very few defenders would catch Traore once he gets going, to be fair.
Yup. Can’t actually believe he didn’t. Think on that occasion he put himself before the team. Didn’t want to miss any upcoming games and was happy to sacrifice us potentially conceding.His stupid yellow card in the first half indirectly resulted in us conceding in the last minute.
People think yellow cards are no big deal as long as the player behaves themselves for the rest of the game. We don't want players behaving themselves for the rest of the game, we want players who are able to commit a tactical foul when it is needed.
When a player picks up a stupid needless booking early in the game, they have taken away their ability to commit a tactical foul and massively increase our likelihood of conceding.
Maguire has to foul Traore on the half way line for the winner, but he can't because of his own stupidity in the first half. Eriksen is also an idiot for not fouling him, as he's not even on a booking.
Not many would catch or keep up with Traore to be fair.Watching him trying to catch Traore was painful. If we're serious about next season, then players like him, Lindelöf etc. should be nowhere near the squad after the summer.
Yes we played like prime Pep Barcelona with Martinez and Shaw in the last 5 games.Even when he has a half decent game, I always feel as though he’s detrimental to our build up. Takes far too many touches and slows the game down significantly.
Such a difference to when Martinez or Shaw are in there.
Catching up with Traore was very easily avoidable if Eriksen had an ounce of sense snd took the yellow for the team before that bulldozer even took off. Maguire being on a yellow had very little options left.Watching him trying to catch Traore was painful.

Okay, performances weren't exactly scintillating, but to be fair we did at least win those 5 games, scoring 15 goals along the way.Yes we played like prime Pep Barcelona with Martinez and Shaw in the last 5 games.
The same build up play was there to see, slow, ponderous and uninspiring.Okay, performances weren't exactly scintillating, but to be fair we did at least win those 5 games, scoring 15 goals along the way.
Yeah that was a horrendous tackle. He does something like this every single game at the minute, he's gotten lucky a few times in the last few weeks but you really can't keep making red card fouls and literally giving away goalscoring opportunities for free every match.Shouldve been sent off
Having Martinez in the build up or having Maguire is a huge difference. Martinez is by far the most important player for our build up and Shaw likely the second most important. Having both out and replacing them with Maguire and Lindelof is hugely affecting the build up. That is clear to see.The same build up play was there to see, slow, ponderous and uninspiring.
I am surprised that Evans didn't start yesterday after he did so well coming on for Maguire the last game. He made such a difference in the last game with our build-up and control of the game due to his crisp passing and smart defense.The same build up play was there to see, slow, ponderous and uninspiring.
And the refs wouldn't be so nice to him. He's probably gotten away with 5 red cards at least because he's English.sounds mean, but its true:
if he wasnt english
a.) we would have never even considered buying him
b.) the english media would rip him apart
So you applauded everytime Fernandinho did the same at City?Catching up with Traore was very easily avoidable if Eriksen had an ounce of sense snd took the yellow for the team before that bulldozer even took off. Maguire being on a yellow had very little options left.
