I think this is part of the reason I’m yet to be convinced. I’ve seen a player on TV for Leeds who continually flattered to deceive, then missed the last two home games due to illness and holiday, but the time he had in the first two home games he was generally very poor, both offensively and...
But this is what we’ve been doing throughout the Premier League era. If we really wanted to progress, there’s no way Gross or Gilmour goes in the summer.
A lot of ratings seem to be forgetting the role Ruttner played in their first goal…
The contrast with the ratings given to Bart who made a saves but also made a mistake…
The inverted full back is to cover the issue in midfield when you have the 8s so high and wide, with the theory that it stops the opposition in transition if they get past the first press. It doesn’t work, as you say, because the opposition have been happy to leave their wingers high and wide...
🤣
It’s my bad. We stopped our ST for a season and it just didn’t click with me to question it before I saw Gruda coming on. Probably because half time subs are so rare.
Anyway, I know the answer now 👍
I didn’t realise the half time rule, as a couple of people politely pointed out. But well done for doing the decent thing by answering a genuine question with sarcasm.
I don’t think anyone is anti-Ruttner. Why would anyone want our record signing to fail?
It’s just that he’s been a bit rubbish up to this point.
I’d certainly be happy if he changes that perspective. In the same way I hope Minteh can change others’.
It’s almost irrelevant whether he played well or not. We need these new signings to get up to speed, and he was supposed to be the answer to our lack of quality at full back. He’ll only get up to speed if he plays games.
