Just watched the Tranmere Spurs game again and KWP is the first to congratulate Llorente after each goal. He really is high up the pitch.
If he fails to get game time over Trips it will be truly bizarre.
Cut him some slack!
Guy is quality. I personally believe, personally deferred by the gaffs. I could live with him instead of Tripps, with the odd mistake, which he will learn from than Tripps, who hasn’t stopped making them.
The important thing is how he responded. I thought second half he didn't hide and he kept going and improving as it went on. Plenty of players have hidden or gone on to have horrendous games after that.Just saw Jenas’s explanation of the penalty and it doesn’t sound so stupid now.
If you didn’t hear it, he said he did what players , particularly shorter players I think, do when the go up in front of a tall forward for the ball. They put their hand up to obscure the forward’s view of the ball, but he misjudged the flight of the ball and it hit his hand, but he didn’t go for the ball itself which is what it looked like to most of of us.
So a bad misjudgement, but not the inexplicable, idiotic brain dump that I initially thought it was.
