What do you want him to do? Headbutt the post?
That's not how time added works.
A professional footballer getting it after 80 minutes is unprofessional. When's the last time you saw a player who isn't coming back from injury get cramp?!Cramp is unprofessional?
Explains why 3 managers didn't trust him, fucker isnt fit
Mate; you're waffling........
I suppose you could have done the running he did. Why are you not on this team.
He is the only one player who has some sort of creativity in him and who can be a game changer. If he can do it just for 70-80 minutes, so be it. Literally all other players can't do it for any minute on the pitch, let alone 90. We need him!
But personally I think the celebration 20 minutes before the game ends was too much. Unnecessary yellow card and who knows, it probably didn't help his legs...
Still first name on the team sheet next game.
Name me one other player you have seen who has cramp and can't finish a game?!
3 managers in a row didn't trust him and we're seeing why in terms of his lack of fitness.
Not sure that's the gotcha you think it is mate
It happens...... Are you now pretending no players ever get subbed off for cramp???
Conflation/confirmation bias in full effect.
Just stick with "I don't rate him". At least that's honest......
Get a grip you idiot
Pretty much every prem game a player cramps up
If anything it proves he gave absolutely everything he could for the team
One of the most mixed bag of a game possible...
His vision for the first goal - fantastic! Excellent vision, inch-perfect execution. Really well done.
Goal? - so well taken, made room for himself, took it brilliantly.
Though on the flipside - throughout the 1st half Brighton good chances came from the fact that he has absolute zero ability to do anything in the defensive side. Literally the Brighton players on their right flank had acers of space to fire in good crosses. Until one of them was converted. And in the end clearly his issues impacted our overall fighting ability.
So clearly his performance had massive positives to it. And also negatives. Both were there.
I don't fully get it how some people focus 100% on the upside, ignoring downside. Also don't understand those either that focus purely on negatives.

I remember an interview with Mr P who was asked about Glenn's contribution to games. He said that he might make two killer passes and we win the game 2-1, that's controlling a game.
'Nuff said!
well its 2 managers... 1 was thomas frank and 1 thought gallagher was a Rw....
Without him we don’t score without him we still concede!
Not sure about it, regarding yesterday.
As I said - the flank where he was supposed to help out on was the only part really leaking chances.
I would like him to be used differently though. Specially given the attacking options we have - I think we should use Richie and Solanke up top with Xavi behind them centrally. I see absolutely no use of playing Kolo Muani + Xavi on the flanks. As Muani is totally impotent - absolute zero goal threat. Could help us have bigger presence upfront AND not have the Xavi wing so vulnerable.
He didn't get cramp sprinting to close down and help Udogie out anyway.
Has barely played 90 mins since February, I think he has talent to burn, but I don't see enough in him attitude/heart wise and think we should cash in if the money is good and reinvest.
Can't see him ever being consistent in the league, another one that goes missing a bit and my impression is he seems to be out for himself more than the collective.
