Cotric in a heartbeat...
Sadly I don’t think that’s enough.
They couldn't tie Sinisa Mihajlovic's cizma.
Kostjasyn, O'Neill, Hampton and McLean all took advantage of it. I wonder how much Jahrome Hughes and Patrick Kaufusi paid for their houses to move in the other direction.
Might not be, but I do remember posting a few weeks ago about a "marquee" player we are keeping some $ for... mmm.
Either him or Nemanja Vidic.
Vidić was the best central defender the world has ever seen.
But how long did the good form last? Once we had our first loss we seemed to slide into a hole, the same hole we fall into every year, and the coaching staff seem powerless to do anything about it, which also happens every year. Our coaches are poor and don't instill any confidence, mongrel, unity or leadership into the group, and at the moment they can't even catch the ball ffs. Same shit year after year, even good players turn to shit, and my mood turns shitty. Even well coached teams have lulls, lose a few games but quickly recover. We do shit for 5-6 weeks and even longer (like 2018) and very rarely get back to any decent form thereafter and the season is gone with another bottom 8 finish.
Yes their form at the moment is extremely impressive, not only their attack but also their defence has improved out of sight. We played them (and everyone else) into form, who is going to play us into form?
They might be big stats but really, a forward that runs for 200m shouldn't have to make 40 tackles. That limits his effectiveness and means others arn't doing their job in D.
An 80 minute middle forward should be making 40 tackles. Any less and he's not working hard enough while on the field.
Paulo's problem imo relates solely to what the coach is doing with him. Playing 35-40 mins in one stint is blunting both his A & D. Shorter stints would suit him better, no more than 25 mins each half. About time to blood some different players next week. Hoping but not confident BA will do anything, which places no responsibility on any player who has a poor game.
