Doesnt take any marks and his much vaunted skills below his knees are a thing of the past as he doesnt even try and win possession just tries to knock the ball on to other players...
Its embarrassing for the club to drop Kruezer being a No 1 pick and favourite son but it might have to happen...other clubs are experimenting more with mobile tall players who can also play other positions and we cannot afford to carry two ruckman only types who give nothing else but the odd tapout.
Try some different combos..Philips/ Gorringe.......Gorringe/Casboult etc etc...lets do something different....
Difference is EB when comparing to what other clubs do is they make the change only after the guys they are throwing in are close to being ready or have shown a bit at lower levels. The guys you mention have done neither.
Im not in favour of desperate changes - rather calculated ones.
No point trying something that has close to zero chance of being successful. Kreuzer had a massive end to 2015-sure he hasn't been great but many should be looked at before his name is mentioned.
Surely the protection he offers around the ball is something on its own we have very few players capable of.
