In the right game state Gallagher is like the most endearing player ever but it’s just way too often that he comes off the bench when we’re crying out for quality and makes the most stupid of technical errors. We really need to think about shifting his wages in the next year
Leeds wanted a direct game, I’ve liked how RDZ is happy for us to mix it up and go long so far but we don’t really have the personnel for it. Kudus had a poor individual game, and Tonali wasn’t as good on the second balls as he has been this season. Marmoush a non-factor
1-0 0.6xg against Leeds pending lmao
Looked up Farke on twitter and is surprising how unpopular he seems to be with Leeds fans. Understand wanting more adventurous football (especially if you’re a Bielsa-pilled Leeds supporter), but I look a that Leeds squad and really don’t think it’s that good.
I am defo more conscious than ever of the ‘grass isn’t always greener, you should be grateful’ sentiment after watching Frank be religiously protected by the media last season. But their wingbacks and forwards just aren’t good imo
He’s a conundrum in modern football imo. Obviously an elite shooter, very quick, generally happy to float anywhere across the frontline - theoretically you think he’d be great playing just off the striker. But in actuality, blocks are too compact nowadays for these-
Marmoush desperately needs to show us something in a more transitional game. We got maybe a glimpse of it in the below clip against Chelsea, but in that same game he also proved that his lack of combativeness (aerially and on the ground) rules him out of the lone striker role.
