I think he'll be fine this season. He's not the player he was when we went down. He's a full stone lighter and much more mobile. And if he wasn't he really wouldn't be in the side.

I thought he looked good but it has to be said when you seen the goals again he was a fault for both. I think the situation has to be taken into account though.

Noelie 103 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I wonder ....................... with the early exits of Dummett & Lejeune, plus the expulsion of Shelvey, I wonder what bench players would have been called upon by Rafa had the game progressed without the injury exits I wonder if Rafa would have given Murphy a chance to get his feet wet in the Premier League.

Lascelles was the goalside defender much closer to their player when he started that run. It was more down to being an exceptional run and pass tbh. Also don't think you can be overly critical in a game where we lost a defender in the first 5 minutes and another 25 odd minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon we would have seen Murphy and potentially Mitrovic depending on the score. Merino still would have come on I think, but not in place of Gayle who might have made way for Murphy instead.

Manquillo can see him all the way but doesn't react. Totally agree we can't be overly critical when we've lost half the defence before half time and we were down to ten men. That's why I said you have to take the situation into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14012 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not sure if this has been brought up before but before the game Shelvey deliberately didn't shake Alli's hand. Fair play to Alli, he styled it out by running his hand through his hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
