Overall really frustrating...
For an away game at a ground where we always struggle, there were a few positives we hadn't really seen under Lampard before. Plenty of endeavour & a clear plan to press & counter attack. The actual system despite initial eyebrows was ok too given the injuries we...
Don't want to speak too soon but we've been relatively solid for 60-70mins but backs to the wall now. Thankfully they don't have Sargent to capitalise on those balls over the top, allowed us to have a very high, aggressive line.
Not sure he'd be solving our problems anyway tbh. Excellent on the ball but not exactly a commanding, physical presence.
The move to QPR makes even less sense to me, going to a side that isn't ball dominant when that's what he excels at is odd.
Losing him in the January window is obviously far from ideal. Issa Kaboré will be available on loan for a short term fix until we can source a permanent replacement.
