And this has led to the goal.
This is the one that goes to the far post.
But you need someone that's incisive, someone that doesn't care.
Someone with a bit of flair, exactly.
I think with players like Bouffal it's difficult and I get when you're a manager the frustration of someone like him because I've seen him play here before I remember him scoring a goal a couple of years one of the best Premier League goals you've ever seen he went past three or four players and scored but then it's the following we don't see anything from him Kelly but sometimes when you've got a player like that and it can affect the structure of the team it's important you get players to fill in for him because what he is he's a match winner
And I think everyone, I was happy to play with those sorts of players because I knew they could do something different.
And I think that as long as they can get the right blend, the right chemistry for him, he can be the difference here, you know, because he shouldn't have that much ability.
And that 10, 15 minute, you know, he came on, that rap was brilliant.
All the skills that he's showing, but he's got to do that on a regular basis.
It was a really tough one for them today because first half they were comfortable, they looked strong, they looked organised and then second half, when the tide started to turn, they really did struggle.
The manager made three substitutions, didn't really make an impact.
I was amazed to not see Troy Deeney come onto the pitch.
I must admit, you can sell by his body language after, he probably wasn't happy and I understand that as well because the substitutions,
They brought on Chalaba, and there's nothing against him, but sometimes when you bring on a defensive player, the mindset then is to think, OK, what we've got, let's hold on to.
And I think that sometimes can be a really dangerous ploy, and it didn't work today.
And it felt as unfortunate, and I'm sure we'll talk about the decision with the handball, that played a big part in the game.
That is one win this season.
They have to find a way of getting some results really quickly because they are starting to get cut adrift.
Absolutely, but I think Kevin's made a really good point about Sarr and when he looked...
He looked special.
