Re: Arijanet Muric
Well done, spot on. I’ve praised Trafford and defended him all season. His stats (he writes, chin stroking :D ) for goals conceded vs expected goals conceded had got to about half way up the table, but now they have slipped to 3rd bottom. That’s why he needed an overdue rest. He will become a fine ...

Re: Arijanet Muric
Not sure the relevance of pointing out that Muric is 2 inches shorter than Trafford. Anyway, Trafford is a decent but raw keeper, abused unfairly on here just because people want Muric, but Muric has stardust about him.
