    I think that’s too reactionary until we see what fitness issues he’s been dealing with. It stands to reason that once that’s fixed, his overall performance will improve. If he’s fit and still not great, then I’m all for taking him off. Maybe Odegaard and Saka switch (i.e. Saka stands in the short corner spot)?

      If his corners are being affected by his fitness, he should be taken off them until he is better. Maybe one of the fullbacks has a secret talent, lol?

        Unfortunately he is still our Starboy and the only one that I think would replace him is Odegaard or maybe White (although he’s on permanent goalkeeper shithouse duty).

          This is true. The real answer is, he just needs to be better. He will be.

            Goes for a lot of the boys right now, unfortunately. The only bright spot is that they’re young. Lessons is what they need right now.

            How fast do you think he can get back to his box? There’s some potential here
