I'm not having a go - honest!
I have full faith in TP, and he's done a great job. I didn't know where the next win would come from under AI. But.....
TP did say that he had no preferred style of play, and would build his team based on the players available to him (quite rightly). But that philosophy doesn't quite ring true, when he has Poco (good) and Gamboa (v.good) who he won't play because of their lack of height. One of them - maybe - and Poco's no midget. Would he have left Derek Statham out back in the day? (I know football's changed in 35 years, but Statham WAS a midget). Like Beefy, I remember Gamboa's World Cup, and I thought he should have made the Tournament XI. We could do with some right-hand width, and he's like lightning. Give him a go, and tell Yacob to cover his forward runs.
