He wants to drift wide and put balls in

Not to start this all up again but from what I’ve seen so far Sakamoto is a better WB than a AM

I think part of that is not having a natural LCB to cover across as well.

We could learn Japanese for a start.

Bet he leaves his seat in the dressing room proper tidy

In spurts though his balls tend to be bent or floated rather than driven. I would like to see him attempt it more though. The big thing about Hamer was mostly he tried more stuff.

Wonder if there’s not a bit of Japanese “mustn’t grumble”

We really miss an accurate long passer of the ball like Gus who can switch play or hit a strikers run from deep.

OK, faded a bit and fairly toothless in the final third. But we got 60% possession away to Swansea which is unheard of and deservedly went ahead. Clearly it’s going to take time to get the business end of the pitch right. We’ve gone from quick counters with Gus and Vik to possession based...

Imagining the Referee’s Association representative turning up Men in Black style outside training grounds cornering dejected young footballers. “How would you like revenge on those they kept on, son?”

TBF yes they would. I give dogs abuse for perfectly fair decisions in hindsight all the time as a fan. It’s part of the emotion of the game.

Should be like a drivers licence. First offence you get a reeducation course, after that points and if you get too many points you’re banned and can start again down the bottom.

That was off the ball and missed completely IIRC. I think there’s some rule about only looking if it’s missed (or like Godden if you fooled the ref for a pen).

Id love to know what sort of striker they see him as. I’m not sure he knows himself.

Just to be a Debbie downer: almost identical first two away results. 1-1 and a one goal loss after being ahead.

Not forgetting “His name is a cake” and “Living on a Latibeaudiere”

DISHEARTENED? Im crap at crosswords.

I think he’s have done better starting yesterday. First half we were actually getting the sorts of balls he needs into the box. Second half he was feeding off scraps.

I have done both, a four year modern apprenticeship at Marconi was great for a host of reasons. But completely impossible now without mass employment. I think you need the government to step in for some trades at least, and do what the scummy third party apprenticeship companies are doing now...
