One odd ‘feature’ of both Ayling and Alioski’s games is that when they make a mistake, they immediately fall over looking for a foul. Ayling did it when he lost the Fulham centre back, and Alioski does it so often I’m surprised he hasn’t been in a Daz advert yet?
Strange moment for Ayling too when it looked like he was running on empty and needed an energy bar - low blood sugar - he seemed to be saying he was having a wobble? Nice to see the Steve Bruce effect is working its’ magic again ;-) Whilst Fulham didn’t show much against us they look a better team than Newcastle. > On 20 Mar 2021, at 11:39, Robert Heath <heathpalai...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I met Lorimer a few times.....sat with him through a match at Palace one > year.
