Diangana and Pereira are great talents but even they need someone to do the dirty work. I spent most of last season whinging about our shortcomings. Let's hope we get some real men in, before the window shuts.
We are mentally weak maybe Avanovic and Deeney can inject some testosterone into our feeble bunch.
A couple of things to add.
Although we let 3 goals in Johnstone never got blamed.
Sawyer's although anonymous for the whole game. We as a team got worse when he was subbed.
BB, I think Livermore has that 'drive', that edge, also Ajayi...... but then I'd be struggling. I agree, ideally we need an old fashioned enforcer, or a little more of 'it' down the spine of the team.
Maybe Ivanovic IS a good one to transplant it, or install it into team members (eating my words already!) - certain players CAN have that inspirational effect on others can't they. Basically we want them to give 120%, not 85% or so!
Hate to say it but I think we saw it in the Leeds team on Saturday!
