He is crucial for our success.
I mean, I’m willing to believe most any positive stat about him, but what the hell is ‘engagements that reduce danger’ and how on earth is it defined?
Shhhhhhhh… keep it on the LD folks. We don’t want Madrid catching on here.
I see Maatsen in there. I wonder how far down the list Digne is!
What’s quite interesting is that theres a large set of those players who are either not having a good season, or in the case of casimiro, atrocious first half of the season, bit better now.
Florentino, Morato, Aries, Palinha all having bad seasons. Neco Williams has had a massive drop off. Cuenca doesnt make fulhams best 11.
But its clear kamara is massive for us
He’s undoubtedly our most important player.
The problem is, in the four seasons he’s been here he’s only managed to play more than 40 games once. Not blaming Bouba for injuries – and obviously the Palinha tackle is not something you can legislate for – but if our entire success falls heavily on the shoulders of one player who is often unavailable for long stretches we’re going to continue to have miserable spells like the last month or so.
The club and the manager really need to come to a better solution, whether it’s tactically or in the transfer market, to cover for him because we can’t continue to just throw our hands up and concede being shit every season when he misses games.
More surprised Maatsen is there. Fuck fucks.
But how does this compare to his xETRDP30MOOP*?
*Expected engagements that reduce danger per 30 minutes out of possession.
