Probably because he’s about 11ft tall.
All well and good winning duels, but what happens after he’s won it? ‘Duels won but ball ends up with opposition’ would be a good stat to know.
Bearing in mind we haven’t played with a ‘big man’ since Pelle left some 8 years ago, it’s no wonder it’s the best you’ve seen for years.
It’s also good not to go into his goal record for us, on the basis he hasn’t got one.
Absolutely spot on. Our disallowed goal at Brighton is another example.
Think someone said it already, but that fact we’re stinking the joint out and rock bottom must make it easier for refs to not give us decisions, on a subconscious level.
