Is this because you said Demi Mitchell was better?
How’s he doing at Exeter?
I think everyone knows Bowler is disinterested running the other way, that’s not his game etc. But for what he gives you the other way we should be building the team round him.
A simple tweak is that you get 1 of the midfield 3 to move over 5 yards to the right when we attack so if it breaks down we’ve got it covered. Liverpool have done this for seasons to accommodate what Trent Alexander-Arnold brings offensively. Granted we aren’t Liverpool but we’re in the bottom 3 and possess one of the best dribblers and wingers in the League. So many teams would want him.
From what I’ve seen so far, Mick would probably have had TAA on the bench and played James Milner.
