Strand Larsens turn to do the media rounds it seems. There was a period last season where we seemed to be playing him whilst he was carrying a knock & we didn't fucking learn from that. We should have been resting him, enabling his recovery (I know who covered for him would have been an issue but again that shows our poor recruitment)

I have a niggling feeling that it's more sulk than fitness tbh, though I've never been especially sold on him as a player

I think this is the reason for the criticism of his performance to be honest rather than his actual output. Against Brighton he had the beating of Dunk and Van Hecke but we really struggle to get it to him in dangerous areas and once we took him off we got completely penned in. For the Arias chance in that game he held it up for an age because we had no one within 25/30 yards of him. Look at his reaction to being taken off and at the end of the game he’s not sulking he’s pissed because he’s being flogged upfront on his own again.

Last Saturday i’m listening to criticism of him and i genuinely don’t get it. Held it up when he had to, knocked it off and linked play which is something he’s improved 10 fold since he arrived as it was really poor for a lad his size. Trouble is he’s now linking play with Munetsi, Rodrigo, Joao/Bellegarde(both bang out of form) and the like rather than Cunha, Sarabia, Rayan and in form Joao and to a point Bellegarde.

Chatting after the game i said our fans really struggle to change any opinions they have of players and that follows any performance that doesn’t end with a win etc… Not just here either i think in general, how many fans were/are convinced Ait-Nouri can’t defend despite him proving he could multiple times when that was all that he was tasked with. This goes on to Larsen, he’s massively improved since he came especially with his hold up and link play and he can still finish, just look at the West Ham game in the cup. Trouble is we’re not creating them chances because the players playing aren’t good enough, are bang out of form or are being mis used by the manager.

Weve over performed our big chance conversion metric to score the joint least in the league
