Yes. And three pretty straightforward opportunities in the 6 yard box that Jackson flubbed. He runs, chases, links up very well. As with his air shot in the 6 yard box the other week, he needs to work on his composure and technique where it counts.
Mitoma had an upward trajectory in the Japanese league and then on loan to the Belgian league. He's now the best winger in the league after Salah.
Mudryk needs minutes. This coming on for the last 10-15 mins is 5hite. Get him started and atleast give him a decent chance to show why the club paid all that money for him. I honestly think if he gets a run if games he will start to tear it up.
Amen to that.
when match was on, watched the HL twice. Jackson hasn’t got the experience to lead the line yet, he shows potential but in this league strikers to score now in the moment in at least every other game. Not currently at that plus imagine the pressure the kids under with that blue shirt on. Can’t fault his effort but he like so many other squad members (we’re still at 30 with 10 on the treatment table) hasn’t the nous that only comes by lots of games in competitive leagues like our EPL.
Will be interesting to see if, in 9 years, Clearlake do end up making money off us, or not.Was on a
it’s true these young players have potential, but playing moneyball asset value creation with an EPL franchise on a clean slate all round that you cleared purposefully, it’s pure folly, I’d say there’s enough talent in the squad to remain safe in the league but on current showing this is last seasons form continued albeit with a bit more verve and attacking fluidity. But as said above there’s not enough EPL savvy players in the squad and every other one of the competing teams is brimming with them so the team is naturally gonna struggle playing all EPL teams. patience is a virtue but from what I can see there’s little room for it in ultra competitive EPL, UEFA & FIFA footy, winning teams have experienced playing staff backing them up nearly always.
Experience got nothing to do with it. How ready your game is more important than experience.
I can't believe Mudryk Madueke, Palmer, or Maatsen are any less ready than Chilwell making our left attacking flank redundant and refusing to shoot 3 feet in front of the keeper.
I don't think mental weakness is a factor in his case necessarily. If I have a doubt it is that he too often seems to be a "head down" type of player that lacks the awareness to see the right pass/option. He has bags of speed and skill but he needs to be coached to apply it right.
I understand the system that Poch is trying to play but even with that Chilwell is better suited to playing the role currently handled by Colwill. I would play 2 of the CB's and leave Chilwell covering the left of defense. Then have an actual winger covering the LW. Maatsen based on pre-season probably.
Chilwell at LB is more or less the same thing Chilwell is doing now, which is going up and down the left flank. Only difference is that he's by himself with no left forward/winger, which again makes our left flank utterly redundant.
