Cocco the clown overruns Lookman, which is good if they are 40 yards from the byline, not so good if Lookman needs to go in field to find space further back coz Clown runs into his space. Not impressed with our new signing from Southampton, can't wait for mustard to come back. As of a side note, anyone notices how fullbacks always stand off players when they cross the ball? The defenders need to be 4-6 feet max from the player who is crossing, preferably showing them the outside so they need to take an extra touch. Gary Neville used to say if a player got more than 2 crosses in 90 min against him Sir Alex would blow his top and order him in for extra training to practice defending crosses. Need to be more ruthless defending crosses.

Martina hasn't been bad at all. Lookman isn't helping not offering to track back or make runs give him a pass. Lookman wake up and work the wing Our fans wanted Kenny to get a go. They have to get behind Martina now. What I don't know though is why he's in and out of the team. Seems to play when we don't necessarily have to be as diligent defensively. When we do Holgate gets the nod. Cuco definitely the better of the two when it comes to crossing though.

He's been dropped in favour of Holgate again today. He's only played 45 minutes so far in the league so why sign him for 3 years?

It would give us an out ball and someone to get crosses in when we play so narrow.

Already he is being made a scapegoat. Looks better in a back 4 , possibly with Lennon in front of him would offer a bit more insurance
