Buying a player, getting 5 years at his relative peak and then selling him for almost double that on the back of an impressive world cup sounds great. Reluctantly selling your trophy winning captain and talisman, who you've barely won a game without over the last 5 years, sounds terrible. 😕

That should have been a red card. No intention of playing the ball from a player who has form for cynical and cowardly fouls (ask Dan Burn)! No wonder fans don't trust refs or VAR to get decisions right when there are big consequences.

Nufc games like that just leave me raging. Just feel that the effort and desire to win were lacking from some players. Coaches can't play the game for them, they have to step up when they can see the momentum in a game shift. Oh, and Elanga is a waste of money.

Questions have to be asked of the executive team and the chairman/board at nufc. The cup final win/ champions league has covered up a stagnation in the project, with delays on infrastructure projects, a lack of leadership and a failure of transfer strategy and execution.
