It was interesting to hear a neutral perspective from the radio commentators. They were saying Bristol were targeting Faes because they’d identified him as the weak link, and that he was really struggling against Conway. They reckoned Faes had a terrible game and were actually laughing at how bad Belgium’s defence must be for him to make the squad.
Maybe Faes is struggling because he is being asked by Enzo to do something he just can’t do, and that has destroyed his confidence. I don’t know. But we have other options in that position and it’s clear the guy needs a break. It wasn’t pleasant hearing neutral commentators laugh at how bad our defence is. The first half of the season is starting to feel like a lifetime ago.
