Regarding Bartley, I’m pleased with his improvement this season, particularly strong defensive headers. Unfortunately, his ball skills are poor, and his constant short pass forward to a midfield player, who as a result is immediately under pressure, is unnecessary. To follow it up with pointing and ‘why’ one hand gestures, is disappointing. I would rather he clears the ball up the wing.
Having said that, he did indeed follow that suggestion a few times. So happy to give credit when due.
Undoubtedly Hegazi is a better option.
I would hope the club has the final say but it appears in Hegazi's case he must have a say if he hadn't been allowed to go to ANC and had the operation instead he would have been fit for the start of the season, mind you we might have been tempted to sell him then for the right price.
