Exactly, I think there's a few people on here very quick to jump on him, for whatever reason, whilst ignoring the facts and the context of his loan.
The volume of opinions about him far outweigh those of his peers who also recently signed pro terms.
Odd timing to quote this, mainly because I was at the City game on Wednesday and he was utterly infuriating. He's perfectly capable of doing what you say though, so suspect it must be Guardiola's instruction. He's not helped by having no one helping to create overloads on his side, instead...
We will scrape in, Critchley will unleash his 4-3-3 ‘Ode to Holloway’ which the squad have been working on since July 2023 and we’ll blitz our way through the playoffs, leaving a trail of bodies in our wake.
Narrator: Blackpool 0 - 3 Barnsley
Until they call it in, it's immaterial. In fact, it's a debt owed from an entity they own to themselves so it makes sense to have it inflated, for both parties.
This sort of financial illiteracy from someone at BST is alarming, to be honest.
They turned over £10.8m last financial year. They are, by most fiancial metrics a lower Championship club in waiting.
That's before you factor in the increase for, y'know, actually becoming a Championship club.
It's you who is underestimating.
what a ** nonsense comment. Are you trying to be obnoxiously dismissive or do you believe a player cannot possibly go on this better things from this base?
We all want to be playing a more expansive system, and that's the type of he thrived in at Peterborough. I'd 100% keep him, as this system cannot go on into next season. It's a mess.
Lavery is absolutely horrendous. Pass him the ball and you are flipping a coin as to whether Blackpool will ha possession or the opposition will. Terrible first touch and can't weight a pass to save his life.
He was like this in his first season too.
As someone very pro-Critchley since he came back, he's losing (not lost) me due to his complete intransigence over the 5-3-2 formation, particularly away from home.
His versatility with formations, shape, and personnel first year was a huge plus for him. He's demonstrating none of that now...
This is criticism for criticism's sake.
Byers signed less than 6 weeks ago and has started 6 of the 8 games in that period. Norburn started 5 of those 6.
