Ha! Bamford's been great this season he really has. Most improved player imo. Still a way to go but he’s up there with the best strikers this season for goals scored.

Yes will give you he has improved but still feel he`s missed more than he`s scored.
Just watch his first touch.
It`s not good.
Probably bag a hat trick now on Saturday.

Bamford has an XG of 13.83 for the season, so to score 13 goals is pretty much on the money. He has an expected assists of 2.38, he's got 5 so far, so is out performing in that regard. Harry Kane is the only English striker with more goal involvements this season. This article shows how Bamford compares to Europe's elite strikers. I'm not sure what more he has to do to convince people how important he is to this team. https://mullerscorner.medium.com/patric ... beedb08638

I think people know how important he is to the team. He's improved his sitting this season and people still say he's not clinical enough.

I`m from the Joe Jordan school of CF`s and clearly do not see Bamford as the type of striker I prefer. But I`m more than willing to accept the stats prove me wrong. The stats also say Jack Harrison is a good winger and personally once again do not see it. Similar to saying Ian Kirke was one of the best forwards Leeds Rhinos ever produced based on the number of medals he has won. At the end of the day we are up there and playing some entertaining football. Who would have thought dirty Leeds would be most peoples second team

Still no Phillips or Rodrigo, and Klich is a doubt. Koch should be back in training next week though.

best not to rush those guys back if they are touch and go especially on that pitch. if we are playing the usual formation i would like to see Llorente and DM over Struijk.

think it is about 10 days to the next game after this one so potentially a full squad to pick from at last against West Ham.

No need to rush Phillips back, let it heal properly the win on tues gives us plenty of breathing space.

No Grealish either.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:31 pm  

Hmmm I'm not sure either team did enough to win that, it was pretty even.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:40 pm  

poor match to watch.felt a bit like the Brighton game where they got the early goal and just saw out the game using every trick in the book with us struggling in the final third to get anything going.

sorry but Roberts,Alioski and Costa not good enough for me if we are to kick on next year and all should be let go at the end of the season. Pablo will be too. those will be the players that make way for the new faces.
