the athletic reporting palace thinking of loaning van de beek from united. he would be the style of player that would do well for us
I'm struggling to recall when you may be referring to. I could have missed it, may well have been refreshing the old beverage. But if you are talking about the header he should not have gone near, then very harsh! He was miles off it, yes should not have been drawn in but it was a nothing high ball and he just went to nick it, I wasn't too critical about it.
Measured display? really? I thought he was an absolute animal that game and covered superbly. Nothing superb against Villa but did not do much wrong either. His distribution is miles better than both Bednarek or Sali, those balls out to the wings.. I cant get enough of him tbh
Yeap nice to see Ralph change it when we were under it second half and also to see Lyanco given some more minutes after his performance against Chelsea. Thought him and diallo were solid. I had KWP Che and Bednarek as our best performers. JWP and Oriol put in a shift as usual and we look really quite good from some of our play in the first half, we should have killed the game off earlier much like last week.
Only complaint I had, we had 10 corners and don't recall us doing anything from any of them. Redmond?
completely agree about diallos forward passing. was disappointed to see him dropped but knew it would be the same when diallo played full game against chelsea
I was one of the first to criticise Ralph on the weekend for picking Walcott and then leaving him on for 75 mins, but I think credit where credits due. We all know he loves his 4222 but he showed he is capable of moving away from it when necessary and against Chelsea it nearly got us the win. Thought the tactics and shape were spot on and both Valery and KWP were used in roles which helped the team.
