Baffled by him tugging at the front of his new t shirt in that Frankfurt video like he wanted to show us something, a badge maybe. There’s nothing there.
Maybe he’s like the greyhound in Steptoe And Son, he’ll be deadly once they put glasses on him? It would explain a lot. I honestly feel like he got a bit of a pass from a lot of supporters.
I don’t think Wober is anything special either. And Llorente? I had serious reservations the first time I saw him do that thing with his arms behind his back and turning to watch a shot go whizzing by. Call me old fashioned but I like defenders who throw themselves in front of shots. I thought Pascal looked the part, even thought he had the makings of a captain but he’s not really progressed at all, and that’s been generous, even allowing for him been played out of position so much. Cooper? Some of his tackles wouldn’t look out of place at Headingley. He will always give away stupid free kicks and penalties.
