Sorry, I thought I had posted that every time someone updates this thead, I get my hopes up that Emi Good-day is back. I didn't meant to perpetuate this false dawn. I don't wish it to be my last summer.

You're making me look bad and you're the one with the silly name! For the record, I only went searching as I don't trust Eamonn.
Quote from: paul_e on April 09, 2024, 04:14:48 PMI think you've got this slightly wrong Footy, I don't think the issue is his temper or that he's a free-spirit but rather that when things aren't working he starts to try to rush things and becomes a bit sloppy. Once the sloppiness comes into his game you then see the other problems but it all starts from that initial issue of him trying to make things happen rather than just following the gameplan. Importantly though wasn't just him but a problem the entire squad had under Gerrard because of the 'create a bit of magic' approach he had which put all the pressure on individuals instead of the team and tactics. Some players thrive under that approach but Buendia in particular struggled with it.Over pre-season I think he'd clearly been working on that and was looking far less erratic (this is also why I think people thought he looked fitter, he wasn't wasting so much energy) so I'm half-convinced the problem is either already solved or at least well on the way to a solution.My bigger concern is that we're a pretty small team in attacking positions and that might work against him (and I think Zaniolo, Duran and Rogers clearly show a push from the club to address that).There's some great points Paul E but I haven't got it remotely wrong on Buendia temperament as he's often seen frailing arms about and that when decisions or passes don't come his way. If anyone would be a booking for new rules and dissent it would be him.

It's our thing. Occasionally Suede too. We're a right laugh.
