Re: Jacob Brunn Larsen
I'm not surprised that Larsen's record for us shows 5 goals but 0 assists. Recently we've been using our wide players in a similar way to Brighton in that we attempt to circulate the ball around the middle of the pitch, with the centre forward dropping deep to help with this, and then we look to rel...

I'm shocked that anyone would be comparing Esteve to Keane or Tarkowski at this stage. He has had some decent games and some poor games so far.
As yet, he's a long way off comparisons to two of our top three centre halves in recent years, in my opinion.
