of course, but it’s only been a month and it’s quite a shock to the system especially if the mother is having any issues as well. I’ve always err’d on the side of forgiving when it comes to babies
ewe, that was messy
Without wanting to jump on the bandwagon, I reckon Ox would benefit from losing at least 1/2 a stone to maybe help with his mobility
Looks like Shaqiri
It’s his vision maybe a trip to specsavers.
Ox might be poor Keita has been invisible.
Losing the midfield they are too dominant in there for me atm
Is he playing?
I wanted him to take charge more too.
Got to agree. He had one absolutely abysmal shot, otherwise he is running about a bit, but not producing either good balls or superb offensive movements.
Edit: At least Oxlaide is involved (although very badly), though I note again that Oxlaide’s defensive press has been truly disappointingly lazy on more than one occation.
I absolutely agree and Firmino will be the next “sleepless player” btw.
@Magnus you read my mind, at least Ox is showing responsibility as a senior pro, receiving the ball in tough spots
Wish we had a younger clone of Gini. We’d be rinsing this lot with a player like him
Matip did OK
Bradley has impressed me bar the penalty
we just don’t have that tactician midfielder that Fab/Hendo are on the pitch. we have three attacking midfielders out there and it’s unbalanced. they don’t know how to mop up play very well at all.
Spot on. There’s only Curtis looking decent. Ox and Keita poor.
Possibly the most one sided referring performance I have witnessed.
Ok, after the Mancinson masterclass a couple of years ago at OT.
It’s not even the 50-50s they are getting. If our players breathe next to them they get a fre kick. Penalty very clearly there though.
Ox and Keita are both very disappointing. They’re senior players in this side and should be leading by example. Both are trying to break in to the first team and neither has made much of a case for himself so far.
Tsimikas is absolute class. Good goal by Mini, but otherwise ineffectual as usual. Would like to see Gordon take on his man a bit more, but fair enough, he’s a kid.
Konate is classy, but has the occasional brain fade. He’ll be a total boss in a couple of years.
Tsimikas may be first choice by the end of the season.!!!
Stranger things have happened in football
Ox on a fast track down the Jack Wilshere road. Haven’t seen him play well in nearly 3 years. Am sure fans will have his back as seems a good lad round the squad, but he really needs to sort his head and body out soon
