Deano must be unwell or injured. Benitez always makes me nervous. Who knows with Canvot but he has been poor in the first three games so him losing out to Honest and Tomiyasu doesn’t really bother me and doesn’t weaken us. I don’t really view that as a big surprise.
Sage is sage
- Topic starter MarkA333
- Start date
Reported Dean is nursing a foot injury apparently, Canvot falling out of favor is fair given Sage has performances and effort in mind, and frankly Ahanor performed better on his time on the pitch so far. I do worry about our ability to bring on a game winning sub, we might struggle if we need a way back into the game with 20 mins to play.. unless Chillwell does it again.
The fact that Sage has selected three defensive midfielders above Guessand and Osario tells you what he thinks about those bits of transfer business
Yes with Nketiah still recovering and Guessand out of favour there's no real replacement for JSL.
After watching all 5 games this season, I think it’s important to preface my comments by stating that it’s very unfortunate that the team has been destabilised by the antics of Mateta and Sarr. However, that said, I am now not convinced by the man management style of Sage. Protecting Mateta and Sarr while publicly calling out McNeil and Guessand ( NEITHER OF WHOM ARE ON STRIKE).
Also, I now wonder whether tactically he is up to the job as we see having shipped 11 goals in 4 league games.
I think we see how the next two games go and then make a decision about potentially appointing Eddie Howe during the international break.
