Well played! Showed real guts, to fight back and win through, handsomely. Yennaris, is a player with a lot of ability and depth of character, so he is , in my opinion , a good selection as Captain.
On the negative side, Jota is looking to jump ship to West aHam, which is a big loss and will severely dent any promotion pretensions. Unless he is lucky, and gets a real chance at showing his skills at WestaHam, it could be a bad move for this talented player. He could be benched and beached.
Let’s hope the “new guys”, prove themselves and are not duds.
