I thought he got the run around. But the problem is he isn't a RB. And of course Bennett isn't a RB.
He is just getting no cover at all.
Armstrong offers so little. He isn't a winger. He isn't a goal threat. He doesn't create anything and just exposes such a poor player who simply isn't a RB. So it's not EB's fault. He is getting no help whatsoever. And we are playing the wrong system for the players we have. Highlighted most weeks when Bennett is terribly exposed. That's mainly down to Armstrong. But the liability is club captain, so will just carry on playing despite form or ability.
It's tough to see what kind of a start we have had.
We played Charlton who are bang in-form, and lost. But played poorly. And had Mulgrew playing, who was another liability. At least we did something about him.
We played Fulham away, played better and lost. Beat Boro and Hull. We where unable to break Cardiff down.
And lost to WBA. But defended woefully. We gifted them all 3 goals. Its hard to tell if we are doing well, or poorly, as we don't know how good/poor other sides are. It could well be that we have only got points vrs pretty poor sides. Or only lost to two of the better sides of the league, and just an in-form team. Time will tell on that.
I am really unimpressed with that keeper. Cunningham made an error, but he was mainly at fault. He stood on his line looking gormless. But all 3 goals should have been prevented.
That said, we got gifted our first, the 2nd was scrappy. And I saw nothing wrong with Dack's equaliser. It was a game I expected little from. Last season I did think we would go and get points at these sorts of places. I don't this year. I'm not really seeing any kind of improvement. We are still fragile in defence. But that's because our system is not working. We aren't using players correctly. And when you play players out of position (Mulgrew, Bennett etc) this is what happens.
Injuries are catching up with us. This lad from City will be back with City by xmas. Players who turn up injured and stay injured are no good for us. We have way too many of these.
Where is Davenport? Where is Tosin?
Why doesn't Rankin Costello get a chance? I think we need to have a little more faith in our won players, than developing crocks from Man City. Who don't play football matches.
