The ball gets moved around here and there, up and across, up to the edge of the box, perhaps a cross, but we know we're not going to be wowed or amazed. It's not just teams at the top who have them - pretty much every side has one or two - they make the difference in those games that re drifting away from you. We can't have more of the same if anyone comes here in the next 10 days. It will be just the same but with different personnel.
Think you are spot on. Even within games I find myself scratching my head, and proving that football is all about opinions. Yesterday, I genuinely thought ojo was the 1 of the 4 forward players most likely to force something. Never been his biggest fan and I know he missed header and fluffed chance at back post but jus for yesterday I thought he was the most likely. Yet he was hooked and other 3 played 90. Either shows what I really know or manager is watching different game. But agree none real stand out.
