I'd have thought it was obvious. We decided to sell Gus. Whereas we paid Cal for months through a serious injury, and once recovered he refused to sign a new contract and left on a free. I'm not going to condemn him but plenty will and he brought it on himself.
My wife made the point that flu has a long full recovery time. The extreme symptoms may go in a couple of weeks but one is sub par for a long period after that.
Could this be a factor in the loss of form? The flu outbreak was in December. Are we now winning again because finally the players...
There are three ex city players in their squad, plus Bamford. However, Mccallum is injured. On the one hand, they will be up for it. But they lost at home to Boro only a few weeks ago. Are we saying that Boro are better than us? The table doesn't think so. They just replicated our result...
I'd imagine it's because he's a midfield enforcer and we controlled midfield yesterday without him. So better to play midfielders who are goal threats.
It's a very dull game so far. Weather aside, it's like a mid-May game between two mid-table teams. Looks like we used up all our creativity allowance greedily in the first half of the season.
They are controlling midfield. We cannot string passes together from the back through midfield and Rushworth isn't the best at kicking. Need to change something at half time.
I'd argue it's not obvious yet from his performances for us. If Tats were the same age he'd be worth at least the same. Can only assume Tatsu wasn't as good when he was 20.
Sorry, too obscure... a failed attempt at a double pun on his name: amass. I know Latin puns are not crowd-pleasers but hoped someone would get the "big fella" attempt.
