[Bullitt]

3/4 of Varndells metres have come from 2 scores, the rest cam from simple trot overs. Foden for that matter hasn't been particularly good year.

Stats, ladies and gentlemen, don't always tell the full story.

I think Foden's started the season quite well, he's been better than Abendanon and Morgan anyway. 14 defenders beaten is pretty good and i havent seen any missed tackles.

 

[Bullitt]

Today's the first game I've not seen all season - He's not necessarily been "bad", but he is looking flakey and uninterested. I would have dropped him tbh and used Reihana at 15 if I were Mallinder.
