I like Saka but don’t think he’s having a great game.
He’s got lovely tricky feet but in beating his man twice he’s giving their defensive lines time to set.
We need him to be more direct.
Taking too long on the ball means they get their defensive shape back which results in us going out wide and spamming crosses.
We need tempo but we aren’t gonna get it with the personnel.
That was terrible in the end.
The pitch was a big factor there but there is always a danger that one so green was going to slow up in a couple of innings. It really wasn’t one to bat first on.
Good bowling first innings, the other 3 were diabolical.
Crawley would be better in the middle order. He just doesn’t seem to have the patience needed from an opener. Way too rash.
Duckett and Pope need to get a really good partnership now.
Those dense bluenoses are gonna lap this up.
It’s clearly AI generated and never going to be built but they’ve convinced themselves they have the best owners in football.
