Some say he's still backing off
Last seen at the sausage stand outside the stadium. Seriously, how can a player of his experience do the same thing, with the same result, three times in the same season?
Some say he's still backing off
This 1000%What I found more concerning yesterday was why is Toby 1v1, Serge and Jan didn’t even get beyond a jog to back up Toby. That’s a lack of desire right there.

Compare that with how Southampton and Arsenal defended yesterday. As soon as they lost the ball they were either aggressive in winning it back or quick to get back into a defensive position. Whereas we have players jogging back, slow to press or to lazy to get back into a defensive position.
We actually defended like this against Wolves but it's clear many of our defenders lack desire.
Ever since Toby got his new contract his performance levels have dipped it seems that many of them are too comfortable at the club, and for a lot of them there just isn't enough quality competition for places and that leads to performances like we are seeing.
Was just about to say this - he's probably our most passionate player at the moment - loved how he riled the crowd around the time of the penalty incident.Loved his passion yesterday. He's back.
There are a few players setting the tone for that at the moment. Did you see Winks when he got Zinchenko sent off?Was just about to say this - he's probably our most passionate player at the moment - loved how he riled the crowd around the time of the penalty incident.
He is celebrating every goal line clearance with fist pumps.
Bodes well.
