I’d love to see an experienced centre half, new dynamic left back, cover at right back and cover for Tats ( assuming Raphael isn’t ready yet ) if he is then another driving CM.
I’m not saying he can’t do a steady job but he’s not the same threat. The second half yesterday with BTA one side and Rudi / Eccles the other we lost all of our attacking threat …. Instead of beating a man and drawing defenders on to them they simply held up play and passed it back to the full...
If people think Marty James is the answer to our problems then football might not be for them.
James would not have prevented any of yesterday’s goals, he wouldn’t give us legs in midfield driving us forward with the ball.
First 20 mins he kept standing next to Frank when ever we had a set piece to defend …. As we became more and more shambolic defensively he stopped doing it 😂
More worrying for me is how poor must Dovin be in training if Frank continues to pick Collins. He’s been pretty awful since he came bank into the team.
I was sat about 25 ft directly behind Lampard yesterday.
He never stopped coaching the players until about 10 mins to go. He was fixated on the fact our defenders were constantly in the wrong position, both on the pitch and relative to their attackers.
His other focus was Bassette who he told...
King isn’t the chief scout, nor the manager that signed off on the players.
I’m sure he’s wondering how much to trust Austin versus allow Lampard more direct input.
