Without his goals and assists we’d still be near the bottom 3, with Arsenal and Burnley to play… and that Burnley game would be a f**k load more nervous

When’s the last time Almiron tracked back and made a difference? Is this more about teams having success going through the formation and players behind ASM than ASM tracking back?

Agree that he does need benched, a lot of players need a rest and making explosive runs is going to take it out of him, and heMs not been the same since he came back from injury… he wasn’t tracking back then either, but no one was banging on about it then.

I think he needs a rest, I think we need better strikers, and I think we need more quality in the team and squad to put better players around him and to also not have to play him every game and give him real competition to get the best out of him.

He’s got his faults for sure, pretty much every player does, but he’s been a massive player for us for a couple of years and it’s fickle as f**k to jump on his back now.
