Thought he was a little better today than he’s been previously but still not how he looked last season. Starting to think it’s a tactical issue rather than an individual issue.
Ben Brereton was much more of a Wilder type player tbf. Rak Sakyi needs to be playing as part of a proper direct attacking 3. Think I said elsewhere he’d have been a good pickup at the start of the season but given we’re now in for Esse (who’s ahead of him in the Palace pecking order) I’d go...
Yes, he does.
It’s not helping that so many others seem out of sorts, but he’s not offering for the ball a lot of the time, his decision making turns to absolute turd, can’t use his body to protect the ball.
If he still hasn’t learned how to use his body better to shield the ball then he never will. The amount of times defenders can get in front of him with relative ease is infuriating.
