Lewis Cook

He played far too deep today. There was a huge gap between our midfield and forwards, no one linked the play together. Would have liked to see an extra central midfield player like Gosling in there to allow Cook to get forward more. He is young and will get better. Brooks was off the pace too. These players have their normal preparation and fitness ruined when they go on international duty.
 
He didn't have an off day...thats just his level unfortunately....how long will people keep making excuses for him.......Lerma doesn't need excuses.
 
I mentioned Ibe because he gets criticised on here for every poor game he has... yet he has affected more games than Lewis ever has....you could go though our squad and think of games where each of them have been outstanding....can you say the same for Lewis?....he gets outshone by every midfielder he plays alongside or against.
