Subject: Whilst I agree with Henry that we have mixed it up a little better this season, I cannot agree that Raul is not suited as a 'static' target man as, since joining us, he has proved time and time again that he can outjump, or outfox, often taller defenders and, more often than not, lay the ball off to a teammate so I believe that Ted has made a good point.
In reply to: Henry1879 's message, "I think we’ve mixed it up well, gone long more than recent seasons. We have played 7th most long balls in the league, when muniz is on the pitch I bet that’s even higher, but it doesn’t suit Raul to play him as a static target man. I also think we are about right points wise, taking FFC specs off we could have got nothing v Ars or Liv who were pushing and CFC/forest games we won with them being quite even. The XG has us about right, every team has ifs, buts and maybes from their results." on Wednesday, January 01, 05:02:55pm

  • Bournemouth's second goal was in the dying minutes and if Bernd had simply pumped the ball well into their half, putting them on the back foot, instead of passing short centrally to Issa, who clearly did not want, or expect, it the goal would not have been conceded and we would have had another two points in the bag.

  • I watched the game between Brentford and Arsenal last evening and could not help noticing how Raya kicked long balls over the top more often than not and once he even threw the ball over the Brentford defenders, positioned above the halfway line.
