Yes but not real offers , if they are looking for holding midfield who doesn't score , but gives options yes

You think he's a non scoring holding midfielder? Really?


LOL

 

[grumpymort]

Poor defending again costing us

 

[JHB]

Don’t take our chances and concede a silly goal. I think I’ve seen this show before

 

[ripleyeagle]

Well my 0-3 prediction is up the Swanee !

How come when it’s 0-1 ?

 

[Matty 1915]

And they score by a complete fluke.....what a surprise

A goal like that will only be scored against us.

 

[Runningman]

Goal seems to have sapped our energy

 

[Frenchaigle]

Slightly fortuitous

Regarding Wharton, most deep playmakers are there to orchestrate the play rather than to score, but if they are doing their primary job well then the team will be on top for periods, which in turn will result in them getting the chance to shoot from range once in a while. Sometimes that can be crucial, like when Rodri scored the winner for City in the CL final. Wharton's shooting has got better in recent times (as has his ability to create shooting chances for himself), but even if he never cracks it, it's not likely to hold him back. Busquets rarely scored, for example.

Either way, what a lovely, fluid, graceful player he can be. All nine stone of him. If we change to a 433/4231 system next year I would love to see Wharton flanked by athletic, pacey, powerful midfielders who go box to box and get on the end of crosses etc, old school. I think he would shine even more, then.
How this is to be paid for, I have not yet decided. I will come back to you after another beer.

Exactly this, and as I've said for ages, he's Busquets in play.

Spheroidal genitalia?

Wait until the second half. If Sosa is fit, I'd like to see Mitchell rested. Also Wharton.

Looks like we don't have to wait that long after all....

 

[Pikester]

LOL The commentator thinks Kamada going will be devastating

It's certainly going to be difficult to replace him.
Why can't you see what everyone else can?

 

[kennybrowns leftfoot]

Canvot waiting for the ball to come to him instead of going to attack it unfortunately.
Yet again we don't take our chances and it catches up with us.

This lack of killer instinct and slack play is what a new manager needs to address. I can't believe we aren't 3 or 4 ahead already.
Shades of Everton away this.

 

[rob1969]

Stats showing we all over them -their first shot on target and they score ! Some much for stats !

 

[Eagleman13]

All those chances & now this. Clinton is giving Canvot some grief about not heading that ball away instead of trying to flick it, his words, not mine. He also said, it's not the 1st time.

 

[PatrickA]

We've played better than I've seen us play in a while offensively, but the game has a feeling of one we will lose.
When you don't take your chances and the opposition equalises before half time , you can often write the script for the second half.

 

[Eden Eagle]

How was that not a yellow card - deliberate handball..
