Foster is as thick as mince and his positioning is rubbish. I watched the Lawman documentary yesterday on SKY, Denis Law was nicking goals from nowhere. None of our lot are not fit to lace his boots.

Somewhere there must be another Willie Irvine, but where?
The thing is Bt Koleosho may be just that but he?s a square peg in a round hole as ballcock puts it - he doesn?t fit the Parker remit - keep the ball at all costs even if it means going from inside the opposing teams 18 yard box back to our keeper.

Young men like him need to play and be coached helped re final ball and importantly imo anyway ( said many times ) to let the ball do the work and be played in the channels - over the top and let him run onto them destroying people with his pace.

The problem Luca has is not his talent it?s which team he plays in and the shape it plays- Parker has a system that has us sat third in the league and least goals conceded - my thing is it?s boring and we go backwards and sideways way too much and flair players like Luca who are forced to be doubled up sometimes trebled up get criticised for losing possession ( here?s a question if he has 3 men why are we not exploiting the two man over scenario we have ? ).

I?ll answer my own question because we?re already thinking about playing backwards and not forwards towards the white posts that are what football is ultimately all about .( goals ).
