Sideways to the wing are generally no good, as the defence is set up. We need to get the FBs turned. I don't know about the failed passes, I recall a few being overhit to Calderon, but wouldn't swear it was always JFC.

But surely, if the tactic is for the FBs to push on, he must realise that he can 'ping' a pass in to an open space and there is a high percentage chance that Bruno or Calderon will be charging on. Sometimes you have to gamble rather than going sideways or backwards.

TBH Rookie, I'm one of the 'slaters', though prefer to be a 'critic' rather than a 'slater'. I really think he is a liability in the position he's being played, though to be fair he's not being helped by what is around him. Do you think he would be starting if Stephens was fit? (Or Toko come...

Wonder how long Toko will stay on the pitch

Is probably neutral rather than positive, because going backwards when there is so clearly a forward pass, is not good, he (and others) could have hit the space that was available for Bruno and Calderon on countless occasions in the first half.

Bruno should have volleyed that at goal, because it was a good pass, but as is highlighted one of the few that came off. When he played under Gus and for the U21s, he excelled but he was further up the pitch. A deeper position just does not work for him.

This. Continued to prove the deeper he plays the bigger liability he is. Lightweight, no presence and I'm beginning to wonder if he'll ever be good enough at this level.
