Agree re Bamford - nonsensical when we needed to score, and Rodrigo has proved time and again he is not suited to being a lone striker. Sometimes Bielsa’s stubbornness is legendary?
As for Roberts, whilst occasionally seeing some touches which indicate a footballer lurks within, his utter lack of conviction, especially re scoring, usually makes me wonder why he’s on the pitch? At the end of last night I’d pretty much convinced myself Bielsa will go - this team will need medium level surgery during the summer, yet he still thinks bringing Pablo on was the way to go? I doubt he can do much more with this bunch? Sent from my iPad > On 1 May 2021, at 19:40, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hard to disagree with any of that John.
