I tweeted yesterday that I didn't buy the sudden love Slav had found for Hegazi. The plan all summer was for either him or Bartley to be sold. This wasn't a last minute change of plan. We had 6 CH and Hegazi was the highest paid player at the club. 10m savings to the club for a..
..player who the manager had been indifferent about staying all summer makes sense to me. Slav's reaction feels to me a case of getting his defence ready early if things go pear shaped. He may feel let down overall by the backing he has had but he knew we were self sustaining...
..before he joined. Nothing has changed. It's frustrating for everyone but until Lai sells or changes his approach, this is us.
For now, we have to make do with it and squeeze every last drop out of what we have. Slav has to get his head down and coach to the best of his ability
.... Something that we have only seen glimpses of since mid Feb. We definitely saw it 2nd half last night. We need a focused Slav, not a Slav getting his agent to brief reporters all over the shop.
