Not a huge amount considering he’s playing left wing. I like Weight out left, I like a driven low cross, I just think Lampard sees him differently. Even when Simms has come on Wright has tended to stay at CF.
Seems a bit nitpicky for a striker who scores every other game, but when he shows he can do it like that… it’s a bit like when you felt Vik could have had 40 if he just tightened up his finishing … or moved to Portugal.
Id wager most weren’t your traditional crosses into a header that Lampard seems to want. EMC for all his faults is better at that and Wright is probably better in the box on the end of them.
Other than Rudoni and sometimes Saka we lack real quality into the box, and both of them are best cutting in from the right. One reason I think Wright won’t go wide left is he’s probably among the worse for delivery into the box.
Mentality is built on easy clean sheets and being thrown into the home fans after a win tho. Wilson has taken on mackem Buffon levels of mythology since his injury but is and has been second and third choice for a reason. Just got to hope Collins can dust himself off, the squad and management...
He was shit, but a lot of this is also shit rules TBH. The drop ball rule these days is a joke.
Fans famously have no feelings about ex players. Can’t wait for Robbie Savage and Craig Bellamy to ref us at the CBS!
He drops deep so one of the fullbacks doesn’t have to tuck in to make the three when we attack which allows Rudoni freedom instead of having to take up the left wing spot.
