[Football] Ali J with 5 to go

[Hendrax]

Why? 20 odd times and nothing comes of it, ever.

I love GP but his subs, and the times he makes them, infuriate me.

It was obvious we weren't going to score, nothing wrong with throwing on fresh legs to help see the draw out. And yes, I think Ali is as useless as you do.

Please see the twenty posts saying this on the matchday thread!

Bloom simply has to invest in a striker or two.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Trying to build up some sort of minor sale value is my best guess

Yes, but not those legs!

 

[Hendrax]

I get the whole fresh legs thing but we were on top and threatening constantly. Just think another sub, a bit earlier, might've changed the game.

Dont get me wrong, I'm happy with a point but it's very frustrating

 

[Sheebo]

Why not? Would rather Mac as he’s been class but... why not?

 

[Jeremiah]

Ali J sub - courageous ?

As opposed to CH with no subs (other than injuries) before the 76th minute.

 

[zefarelly]

AJ is arguably the best shot in the matchday squad, why he doesn't get at least ten minutes is beyond me.

The game was there for the taking IF we had a decent striker on the pitch. . . . Or a player who can pick a spot and hit it within a quarter of an hour of seeing it.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Why

I assume because he is regularly the best or one of the best at shooting in training. Whilst his all round game is not as good as many others, there are few lads in the squad I’d prefer taking a shot than him.

 

[Swansman]

Why, why not. He is a decent footballer, some clear and obvious weaknesses that will keep him out of the eleven, but with some specialist traits that can win you games.

I get the whole fresh legs thing but we were on top and threatening constantly. Just think another sub, a bit earlier, might've changed the game.

Your first sentence is explaining the second one. When you are dominating and creating chances, you dont really want to sub too early because it might change the game.

 

[A1X]

He’s such a nothing player

 

[LamieRobertson]

Shrug

 

[gazingdown]

I can only hope it’s putting him in shop window (same goes for Izzy on bench).

Why? Because the starting players hadn’t unpicked the Everton defence in 85 minutes?

 

[borat]

It's unfair to keep slinging Ali J on with a few mins to play. He's got a decent shot and energy. If Potter decides to put him on it should at least be for 10/15 mins.

Then put on someone who might. Izquierdo or MacAllister perhaps.

 

[portlock seagull]

He’s often crap. But then so are many others. A late gamble, worth a go give his team mates couldn’t score if they were still out there now.
