The main reason that Pointy plays as often as he does is that he's available for most games. Unlike Tish, Jack, Jedi and  midfielders of recent seasons.

and the reason he's always fit is that he has a Lineker-like aversion to the physical side of the game.

Yes, a Lineker-like aversion to the physical side off he game is a good comparison. Another appropriate one in my opinion would be a Lee Hendrie-like aversion to it. He was another player who managed to convince some people, including Ross on BRMB as was, that he was a tough tackling grafter. In reality he shirked tackles and ran about pretending to e hard.

You can get away with it a bit though if you could play like Lee. Westwood can't.

In rugby, the lightest of players are taught at a young age how to tackle and not get hurt.  It is all about getting you body in the right position first.  Football is no different.  You do not just wave your foot as you get brushed off.  Get in the right position and you can nick the ball away without having to block.

Yes.but possibly not to start after a few games out

Or not it would seem.

[mr underhill]

Exactly what I was thinking when Amavi injured himself so badly last season...tackling with the "wrong" foot from a position where he's having to stretch and twist at the same time! Ouch!

Not even on the bench. What a disappointment he's been.

A very fair time given to judge him.

Are you not disappointed he's not been fit enough to play a part for us this season or is it just me?

Hookey keeps claiming he's fit so something must have gone on from him going from a starter for the first two home games to not making the 18.

Didn't he post some dodgy Instagram pic in the international break...maybe that hasn't gone down well with the management.

What was the picture?

First time I've seen it and it looks nothing but people were criticising him on another forum for that...

I haven't got an Instagram account. Was he out drinking or something?
