Happy 24th Birthday to Nicolas Jackson 🇸🇳💙

Do you know that Delap was playing as a right winger or right split striker for Liam Rosenior at Hull?

And he even scored the winning goal against Maresca's Leicester City playing RW. That's why he likes running channels because he trusts his 1v1 out wide.

Karim Adeyemi on Jamie Gittens:

🗣 "He has no fear. For me, he is one of the best players one-against-one I have ever seen, to be honest."

Delap and Palmer have been terribly absent.

AND

The Ref has been shitty

Just pushing people is not being present ...

• Honestly, it feels like Maresca is trying so hard to fit Reece James into the starting XI — but not as a right-back, clearly because of his fitness issues. And yeah, it makes sense not to overload him… but man, it’s hurting the team’s flow.

• We're really struggling with our build-up and pressing. There’s no rhythm, no smooth progression through midfield. Possession feels forced, and we can't link play or win the ball back quickly. Everything looks disjointed. Palmer is nowhere to be found.

• Like I said before, only Marc Cucurella seems to understand that inverted fullback role properly — when he's the one tucking in, the team actually looks functional going forward.

• Hopefully, Maresca sees this and switches things up for the second half. Reece is a top player, but this hybrid role experiment just isn’t clicking right now.
