The crumbs! That’s what TP calls ’em. As my dear brother who was at Saturday’s match says, (and I intimated in my last post) the Neymar transfer has triggered a domino effect, and the only thing holding this up is the Coutinho business. He leaves Liverpool, they sign Sigurdson, then Swansea sign Chadli and we sign Barry and hopefully a couple more younger players.
As for the Bournemouth game, my report suggested that Rodriguez was busy and menacing in the first half, and it was a shame that TP moved him into a more defensive position in the second. Livermore was excellent…Phillips too…and Hegazi could be a real steal. That TP started Field and then brought on Harper suggests that they are his type of player….not Ward-like, but guys who give 100% all of the time.
The Burnley game is going to be interesting. They will be nervously confident, but will fearing a banana skin and this might suit us well.
