100%. I'm getting ahead of my self here. But it's clear we have changed elements of how we play without Grimes. Grimes would receive it and he would be sat central in defence and though passing ball in an attractive ways at different angles it never did anything. In 1 match, Lewis had more drive, creativity and passion in 1 match than Grimes. I keep hearing we had to pay Lewis more money to join and he obviously is using us to get more sharp and back to premier league, but if he delivers like that every week then I have 0 problem. Plus he was more out spoken than Grimes and I loved his passion when he defended
100%. Passion, creativity, saw elements of leadership. He was tiny bit rusty here or there but added something we have been missing. Maybe this is what is needed to start turning things around? We clearly changed the way we played under Grimes and it might take time to adapt. From rumours of very little players saying goodbye to Grimes, it might mean a strange blessing in disguise. I'm getting ahead of myself 1 match does not make us Liverpool. And alot to improve. But I feel Grimes held us down alot. He was praised by every manager and played by nearly all of them. But sometimes change is needed to see what we thought we was doing right.
Alot of areas to improve. Also to take a little heat of Franco. First season in this mad division and pressure on him to adapt. There is a player there. Just needed support and time.
To be fair Naughton played well and I actually feared when Key was coming on. We rided our luck at times and at times we ourselves should of scored more. For a team who has not won in month, a crazy window, captain going and Williams rumours, I'll take this win all day. Build on it, get home and let's get this going again.
Brilliant observation. It might be a false dawn as you said and my emotions are high. But sometimes we need to break up from someone or to change a job let's say to see there is life beyond what we are living and change though scary can sometimes work in our favour.
Yeah and it not lost on me that Grimes can be good. But it's in my opinion, Grimes has been immune from the cut. He never gets injured and stats have shown in my view a false story. Would you go into Swansea as a Manager and Cut Grimes down and his Captain and role to advance the team? This risks team losing and questioning things. Ie, what is happening now. Personally I get it. But we needed this. It's gonna be painful and time will tell but I do beleive no player should safe from being out of the squad. Grimes was our so called savour and also our worse enemy.
