Can't be doing with the melodramatic twitter "you alright hon?" posts and he needs to cut that pish out.
But.. he should have started yesterday. A blind man can see that Lawrence just doesn't have the legs or energy for an OF game and it was a really poor decision to start him. Yes, Cantwell has underperformed this season and could potentially have got wound up but his energy and capacity to produce some moments of magic were worth the gamble imo. When hes on it, most of our best forward play goes through him.
In fact, cast your mind back to the OF game at end of last season. Granted it was a bit of a dead rubber but Todd was excellent that day. Grabbed a goal but more importantly, stayed tight on McGregor for most of the game and didn't allow him to dictate play like he has done before. That could have been replicated yesterday imo. Sacrifice the width, ]lay him in front of a solid midfield 3 and allow Silva and Dessers as a 2 up top and I reckon we're looking at a completely different match and outcome.
