He has been “looked after  properly” by opposition after that scoring run so now it’s up to him to work around that. Great players do ordinary players can’t. Let’s see how good he is?

The fact that Albert has been closed down has allowed space to open up for other players. It's the beauty of having lots of options when playing well as a team. I'm sure Snoddy or Grealish will get it soon which will create opportunities for Albert or someone else.

I think he may feel more comfortable on the right or down the centre than out on the left, which I believe is his weakest side, and that's why he is struggling with the extra attention he is now getting

Agreed. I think in this league we are getting close to "Who are you going to stop?" status for the opposition.

OK I am too dim footballing wise to see that detail so you could be right.

Just look at how the goals have been spread out in the league - 11 for Adomah, 7 for Hourihane, 6 for Sndograss, 4 each for Hogan and Onomah. We could conceivably have three or four players hitting double digits, plus maybe half a dozen or so goals from Grabban. That's a great way to spread threat across a team.

If you look at some of his goals and assists while at Boro, a lot of those were playing on the left wing or kind of in an inside left position. So he’s done it before.

He has scored goals coming in from the left hand side and looks pretty comfortable out there.  My one gripe about it is that in games like Tuesday where Adomah and Snodgrass don't get too much joy, Bruce doesn't try switching them over for periods of the game.  I'm sure opposition defenders are instructed before games to "show them the line" and not let them come inside on their stronger foot, so swapping them over periodically would just change things a bit.

I'm sure he looked over at Bruce as he was coming off and mouthed 'prick'. He didn't look happy at being subbed, which is fair enough.

Be odd as he waited on the touchline for Bruce to turn around after hive fiving the coaches, so he could do a gripped handshake with Bruce, with a pat on the back of his bonce.

Albert took a heavy one on Tuesday, as he seems to have done the past few games. Wouldn't surprise me if he's carrying a few knocks.

I reckon he could have a slight injury , was suprised Green wasnt on the bench to get 20 minutes run out for Albert.   Lets hope he goes on his good run for the final stages .

Fair enough. The camera was fixed on his face as he came off, he may have been saying it to their full back or the lino, it was just a the angle changed he looked in line with Bruce when he said it.
