He was below par before that and only starting games sporadically. Even Semenyo and Rodri started alongside Weimann ahead of Fam after Afobe was injured. If Fam gets POTS he either because he’s had an amazing final 10 games (to go alongside his much improved recent performances) or others have fallen off a cliff, e.g. Bentley and Baker.

To go off on a tangent, I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with Baker due to his ineptitude on the ball. I can't give POTS to him for consistent 'no-nonsense defending'. You may as well give it William's for consistent calm and assured defending (minus 2 games). If Fam can score another 5 or 6 goals, he gets it. If not, Bentley is nailed on for me.

As far as I’m aware, he entered his final year of his contract, didn’t want to sign a new one (had been signed as a Prem League player at the time), so McCann said he didn’t want him around.

He thinks he is a Pep ‘in waiting ‘ when in reality he is his fathers son. His father has a good record of success and also got us to a play off final . I would wager that GJ would have this lot playing as a team and get us into the playoffs this season if he replaced his son ! So what you think is a sly dig at LJ is in fact a compliment. Further , GJ was criticised for always playing the same eleven , when available , and sticking too rigidly to a system of play , just like LJ .

Slightly different type of players, but how did we get it so right with Afobe for those few games but have changed our style for Wells? Both thrive off clever passing basically. We aren't even trying it at the moment. I wonder if LJ with Afobe. LJ lets them play, they (appear) to have a natural spark together and play well. = LJ has done it again ... next England manager etc. Things dont gel with NW and whoever in the team ... = Sack LJ Just wonder if LJ's style of coaching is to see what is naturally there and make a team around it? Rather than ... my teams play (this formation/style etc) and you need to learn this role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
