Must of been ****, that's why he's been playing week in week out since I made those comments and also Warnock has come out and said he switched off and could be playing In league 2..... Are you Spence agent by any chance?
Not disagreeing, but you are making an assumption in that photograph because like I say that is the 2nd phrase of the attack and it evolves into a goalscoring opportunity, and just further highlights to me the bad positioning of Howson and how he left the attacker after the 1st phase of the attack.
If Armstrong had scored, then I would of been giving howson pelters, but he didn't score, Rothwell did and who's marker was that......... Sorry it's going to pain you to agree, so we will just say it was Chuba Akpom fault eh?
That's when Howson looks at Rothwell and leaves Armstrong. You can see is looking at him.
That's a second or two later when Howson is quite clearly now marking Rothwell. He thinks he is about to run in behind him so he completely changes direction and runs backwards first, but Rothwell stops. The problem then is that Howson is doing nothing, because he isn't marking anyone but for some reason he also basically stops doing anything else. He can clear the ball when it comes across but he stands still. Blame Spence for switching off but then you have to blame Howson for the exact same thing. He can clear the ball if he is just active basically but he isn't, he's stood watching instead.
And the picture I posted in between, which shows Howson changing direction to follow Rothwell is unimportant? Well done for ignoring what you disagree with 🤦♂️
