I believe he knows this. But is pushed into a gamble what games to play them. As the last thing we need is injuries to our key players. Many don’t see that though, and as I saw on the match thread, and elsewhere, it inadvertently seems it was Mourinho who gave instructions for our 2nd half performance.
I’m not so sure on Doherty being good going forward. His crossing isn’t that great and his choices of when to cross are appalling. Last night Bale passed the ball to Doherty who was in space and could whip the ball in straight away. But no he fucks around and we end up losing momentum and the ball. If you are the strikers you will not make the runs because you never get the ball being crossed. So frustrating. Too many of our players do not have any idea what they are going to do with the ball when it comes to them even though they ask for it. As well as Doherty; Davies, Winks and Sissoko comes to mind. Then when they receive it they pass it back....even if there is nobody in front of them FFS
Yeah I saw that and shouted “ why didn’t you whip it in first time? There was absolutely no reason not to!”
Even if man United did come in for him which I think is unlikely, I’m 90% sure he would choose us.
