Is it? I can see the hype but thats all it is at the moment, 57 minutes this season for Brighton across 6 sub appearances, and 895 minutes at Championship level.
Romain Esse was a top signing at this level, someone who has proven quality at this level
If you watch some of our early season stuff compared to now its so simple to see the differences:
• Grimes is deeper
• Torp is more advanced
• Fullbacks are less committed to tracking back
• Less balls through the middle for CFs to latch onto
• A lot more direct long balls
• Less switch balls...
He definitely has the ability to drive the ball, there was many times at the start of the season where he carried it a good 5 yards then passing it off progressing it forwards, he is more than capable of it. He can also dictate the tempo a lot easier if he’s a part of the midfield rather than...
Now he can actually sit in position in the midfield and recieve it from the CBs and create triangles higher up the pitch like he was doing earlier in the season, it also allows him to drive the ball forward creating quicker transitions, again like he did earlier in the season
Why doesnt it? It would push him on further and he doesnt have to cover the gap between the CBs and there will always be 3 back when the fullbacks inevitably bimble back
And unfortunately this is a forum where people share their opinions, and that was my opinion sparky. Out of interest and staying on topic who/what do you want us to bring in
I never said we should do it, I said it seems a steal as it was rumoured a club has approached Sheff U and was told that much. We need a plan B and I think that those 2 would be perfect
All due respect Pete it was a poor performance today and we have been poor for a while there will be frustrations and opinions on here. Granted some are OTT.
“sack Lampard” “coach crashes” “Wright hasnt touched the ball”
The reality is if we have any hope of going up a turnaround is needed...
