plymouthranger 3,863 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Arfield has been absolutely pish for months. Hid for almost the entire time he was on the pitch, must’ve touched the ball a third of the times that Jack did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a completely different side with him in the team. He doesn't turn hopeful long balls and poor crosses into half chances and goals the same way Alfie does. Can't really knock Defoe for that, he's just not that type of player, never has been, but we really need to vary our game a bit more when he starts imo because as we've seen on numerous occasions now, if we aren't creating him chances he's having very little impact on games.

This was never going to be a free flowing game considering we were playing on a plastic pitch and returning from an international break. The defence always seems to look dodgy in these types of games tbh - It's hard to read the bounce of the ball and the opposition tactics were basically playing long balls looking for a breaks and fouling to break up our play. Horrible to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a few poor crosses but was also heavily involved in Jacks goal and got another assist for Kents goal. This obsession to find fault with him that some people have on here is weird as fuck tbh and something you would expect to see on a celtic forum. Do you post on them as well?

He like the rest of us watched Ricky Foster the first time round and signed him back again , can’t take any of his footballing opinions serious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our creative players have an off day and Defoe is virtually anonymous. Morelos can make something out of nothing for himself at any time, perhaps we are just becoming a little bit too dependent on that at the moment.

giffnockger 4,840 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Quality result, that is all.
