We have no option but to keep him as it’s fairly apparent we can’t shift him. Lampard and co have had a good long look and concluded he’s well down the pecking order.
He has a goal or two in him. And he can put streaks together. But he’s a championship striker. He should score goals and be able to do the basics at this level.
We concede some awful set piece goals. I don’t understand why there is a pre-occupation with turning corners in particular into wrestling matches. Just jump with the player you are marking rather than trying to stop them jumping. Last night was a prime example. Torp tries to hold their scorer...
We’ll have loads of irons in the fire waiting for a domino effect of transactions.Why would it be out by now. We’re conducting our business far more professionally nowadays.
