Snowflake RoyalRoyal Rother I get that Drinkwater is the popular scapegoat at the moment but, his long passing apart (which was absolutely abysmal), he actually had a decent enough game.
Not that I’m expecting many to agree because most are in on the hate which I find weird.
Hein looks raw but decent enough - much like Southwood. Many ‘keepers would have dived at the feet in the 1 on 1 situation and given away a penalty but he did very well.
But overall, Christ we are poor. And we do miss Ejaria.
That was on the better side for Drinkwater.
He actually made some good challenges and passes. But he still had all the basic errors that should be nowhere near his game, and was awol far too often.
Overall he is a big disappointment for sure - he should be absolutely bossing this league and although the quality of the players / how they have been coached doesn’t help, every time I’ve seen him he does see a pass and ping it to the right place and at the right pace for the player to comfortably receive.... up to a distance of about 20 yards. Anything further and invariably it goes to no-one. Maybe his eyesight is shit!
