2021/22 Andros Townsend

[jamieni]

He’s a very mediocre Prem player. And so is Gray tbh, although he has a higher ceiling.

Think people got a bit too excited too early.

Yeah they were both on fire for a few games and now we look very toothless. We managed to go to Anfield and look dangerous without DCL starting last season…..

When Everton touch you[you are never the same ]

I mean he’s not a number 10 is he? Why was he playing there?

Like they did with Godfrey last season

Yeah out of all the players yesterday who to put there, he'd have been last on my list. He kept popping up on the right and in the way of Gordon as well.

 

[windymiller]

genuinley shocked Matt le tissier hasn’t done that before

Or Denis Bergkamp

Who else do you put there? Iwobi(who is worse than useless)? Gray is better on the wing same with Gordon. He was there to tuck in and make us solid as a three in midfield as much as he was for his creativity. He has discipline.

You don’t play with a number 10 if you don’t have one.

Surprised some think he wasn't that good on Sunday

Thought he was okay and clearly put the effort in

You're not going to smash it every week

 

[banno]

I am liking Townsend. Puts in a good shift defensively and attacking. Can whip in some wicked crosses (no-one available to take advantage of at the moment). Even on an off day he still provides something rather than being totally absent like others

I don’t recall there being much excitement tbh. Frustration and fume possibly. Then the realisation that he was much better than expected and some very decent performances. That might just be me though.

He wasn't really though was he? He was tucking in to give us three because we have injuries. I take your point though I think we are better in a 433 myself.

The midfield has been a donut hole, our CBs have been a dumpster fire with Mina out, and the out of shape corpse of a Chinese league striker has been filling in for the best attacking header of the ball in the league as the target up front.

I think there will be some reversion to the mean for Gray and Townsend but let’s see what happens when we get players back.

form is temporary and class, or lack thereof, is unfortunately permanent. thanks for a decent 6 week spell, in fairness it’s more than most of your teammates have been able to give us
