Whatever you want to call “emerging” he was one of our top players from the start. Moreso than Vik. Yes he got better and better but his base IMO was always above most of the squad.
Coming up to 100 years now. Can’t be many still alive who remember it. Id have felt very weird as avoid commemorating a war from 1880 or something. I wonder how kids today feel about it.
The laugh was because even Robins has to fall back on “hes a nice guy who works hard”. He also calls Tavares a key player on par with O’Hare and Allen so there’s that.
I think they were up against quick, tricky, fluid front line to be fair. Would be tricky even for a familiar back line who know their roles. I thought Watford were very good at playing into grey areas and dragging us around a bit.
God no. Allen is the most ineffectual CM I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen some in effectual CMs. Game totally passes him by. As an extra man buzzing around and offering for the short ball he’s fine, but off the ball and for anything over five yards on it he’s awful.
We play two DMs. With no Hamer you want two fullbacks at WB too? 🤣 And I sure I saw him say drop a striker and Palmer as well. Man won’t be happy until we play ten at the back 🤣
