Lot of talk that Jose should just let the team attack. IMO there is some justification in his approach in that this can’t defend 1:1 situations. When we did go for it at 75 minutes, who looked more like scoring? Fulham.
You then have to look at what happens when we are on the front foot. The opposition sit deep and we struggle to break them down because we lack creative players. And we get easily hit on counter as our CBs have no pace or in Sanchez’s case brains nor talent
I looked at how Sanchez woefully struggled to cope with a Fulham substitute attacker who thankfully was a bull in a China shop, and I appreciate why we have a handbrake
I think Jose played Toby in the game against Marine because he feared the biggest embarrassment of his career and our history. And at his age, he struggles to play twice in a week. But playing Sanchez over Rodon makes no little sense to me.
We’re at the Utd pre Fernandes signing stage. I honestly think we’re one player away from being competitive in the top 4. Hard to demand Levy to sign anyone in this market but if he wants CL revenue, he may need to take a risk
