No recency bias, mate...I look at the season as a whole.With you on the competition for places.
Imo every player bar the GK needs to be uncertain if they get the start.
Think you are seeing things with recency bias on UDog and Porro.
Last few games have been poor. Porro has probably been top 2-3 RBs in the prem this season. I’d be shocked if anyone has a team of the season without Udogie at LB tbh
Udo loses possession over 10 times a game, often by running into blind alleys or holding on to the rock for too long. He doesn't put in a lot of crosses. He doesn't create many chances. Barely shoots. Mainly, he's made a fair few errors leading to goals...through lack of concentration or lack of effort. Look at the size of the boy, what a superb athlete...so there's no excuse. Hopefully with maturity and a few rockets up his arse, he gets his act together. I'll give him time, he's barely old enough to drink and he ain't the only guilty party. But he frustrates the hell out of me, so much ability, I wanna see it all and most weeks.
Pretty much the same re Pedro, though he's had a better season attacking-wise than Udo. First, he's old enough, been here long enough and gets more than enough minutes to sort his defending out...opposing teams clearly target him for a reason. I also want him to be more clinical...he wastes possession nearly 20 times a game, which is mental...and more often than not his crosses are meh. But having a better RW than Kulu and better FW than Werner or even Richy should help him up his stats.
But I get how they'd be complacent looking at our bench. I love how Emerson and Big Ben always put up a fight, massively respect them for that...but they don't have the skill set to execute Angeball to a tee.
