Yep. Thought that as soon as it was scored. J-Rod does give us that something different, and will grow into a class no. 9 for us in a couple of seasons.
Quite like the line up - stronger than I would have thought.
Please to see Lee involved - hope he gets on. Surprised Mayuka is in there - but not starting.
2-1 Saints.
Possible. But I do get the feeling we now know exactly what/who we want, and will make early generous. 'Its £xxx with a decision in 3 days,or poke it'.
We went early with a generous offer in the summer for j-Rod.
Great entertainment, and can't really complain about a point there.
But......dodgy substitutions when we were a goal and a man up. **** poor ball retention - we're a prem team playing against 10 men FFS! And no leadership on the pitch.
Did play some good stuff at times though.
Well I for one wrote that team selection off before they kicked a ball. Shows what I know!
Playing well, look fairly solid at the back and creating some chances.
Just don't try to see out all of the second half!!
Glad J-Rod gets a start, but will not be happy if he is on the left.
Seems mental to leave out Ramirez when J-Rod is there to offer more mobility in front of him.
Think NA is trying to be too clever.
Can't see Ramirez ever being truely effective for us if he only has SRL ahead of him. He needs quicker acceleration/more movement to show what he can do.
J-Rod on for SRL at half time please.
