Lamina was playing centre half not midfield, even thou he did venture into midfield at times.
ОтветитьWe're in a precarious position in so much as a lengthy injury to Cunha would kill us. Our defence has been a clown show this season and I don't think O'Neil should still be our manager.
Saints were robbed against us last week and he (O'Neil) stumbled upon this team due to injury and sickness to Dawson and Bueno. Lemina had a great game in an unfamiliar position, which meant we could play André and two Gomes's instead of one (Rodrigo).
Lemina is usually a shoe-in for midfield but has largely been off it this season. I don't think he's captain material either. His brilliant form from last season took a dive when he was asked (told) to wear the weight of captaincy by O'Neil.
I'd love for Shi to release funds for two quality centre backs in January, but that won't happen without selling one of crown jewels (Cunha, RAN, João Gomes, André). The latter we did not need. He has been bought specially to sell for a profit. It was a Max Kilman replacement we were desperate for. Of course, Mosquera got injured for the season and the gamble backfired.
Most of what I was going to say was covered by you both. That was an astute piece of reporting - well done.
