Sassuolo had 2 good chances (Defrel in the first and Pinamonti in the second half) from him switching off. Both situations he was ball watching and got caught out of position.
I guess that's what happens when you rely on experience and geezerism. Older players tend to pick up more injuries, and with our amazing butchers, I can't wait to see if we'll set a new record this season.
Hopefully very soon. He’s finished as a top-level player now. But it still is disgusting that we’ve suffered yet another muscle injury and we’re only in mid-August. Need another CB asap tbh.
Not only is he rarely reliable on the pitch when he actually gets to play but nowadays also can no longer be counted upon to be available all the time either, which in the past years was the main thing that he got going for himself aside from the passing and occasional long balls.
