Played well last night. Capped it off with a fine goal. As others have said, when we can control the ball with him and Kane, we look good. However there’s been a couple of times this season where the opposition have been too quick with the passing and movement in midfield. I’m thinking in particular that first half against Pompey. I still maintain that as a collective group, we have the best set of midfielders in the division who all offer different things.
Once Connell is fit it should be “horses for courses” then shouldn’t it? If Russell is a flat track bully there are games where that is fine, and having the choice of Styles, Kane, Russell, Phillips, Connell with youngsters as back up is a great place to be, as long as you get those choices right.
It’s easy to forget but he’s only 22. He’s nowhere near his peak and some inconsistency is to be expected. I don’t buy this rubbish about him not being able to do it against top teams. He was doing it for Huddersfield in the championship. He’ll go on to have a very good career in the championship, maybe above. Hopefully with us, but it’s got Luton Town written all over it.
When he first joined I thought "This bloke does fck all and can't be arsed" Now I think "This bloke performs like a well tuned Rolls Royce and can't be arsed"
