pete_boggs added 17:17 - Aug 26 larry12 added 17:45 - Aug 26 Today is the first game in Premier league history that a goalie had to put his hand on his knee to help his ponderous self off the ground. He is that muscle bound ponderous. codge added 17:54 - Aug 26 Was it me or did any one else think that Bertrand looks so uninterested lately.Overall we were lucky and also we could of pulled out a win, l think we will start putting some descent results together although Tadic and a few others need to step up there game.Lemina looks a good buy looking for great things from his partnership with Romeu. rjh added 19:30 - Aug 26 Can anyone honestly convince me things are any better than under Claude? Be careful what we wish for.............. dirk_doone added 19:30 - Aug 26 When you are reduced to bringing Ward-Prowse and Long on to try to win a game, you know you're not going to. There are too many medicore players like them in the squad now. Neverthless, the result was better than expcted after the Wolves debacle. What little quality we've got left is in the defensive midfield area. With Romeu and Lemina playing, we're not going to ship too many goals. rjh added 19:31 - Aug 26 aceofthebase added 20:24 - Aug 26 There are still too many lightweights in the side. No matter how tough they play they get pushed off the ball and lose tackles and headers. Hoedt will give us some much-needed height, but who do we drop? It hurts me to say that Maya was a little slow in the second half and made a few errors If we are to sit back and play in our own half then we must be lightning fast with our breaks but sadly this is not the case. It seems the first pass is behind or directly at the player and not a pass to go forward. The receiver then chooses to pass back or has to do a complete turn before proceeding and of course the opposition takes up their defensive formation. It did seem in the last few minutes we played with more attacking aggression when Huddersfield players were tiring. I am not sure whether it was influenced by our subs Finally, can JWP stop demanding the ball be played to him when he is either tightly marked or running back at speed to his own goal and other passes are available. simmo400 added 09:21 - Aug 27 EDLiner added 17:48 - Aug 29 I cannot believe we continue to play Redmond. Impact sub maybe but he is light on the ball, gets bullied, is a one shot pony who can only cut in and shoot and offer very little in crosses. Add to the fact that Davis is our captain but has the shooting ability of a blind squirrel and Tadic is about as much use as a tit on a fish and you can see why we can't score. Claude played the same way and isolated the striker with little or no service. No midfielders playing one twos with the striker and believing they will score. MP is doing exactly the same. It is like nothing has changed. Meanwhile Hjojberg and Clasie are ostracised. People slate JWP but at least he creates chances! GK - McCarthy LB - Targett CB - Hoedt CB - Yoshida RB - Cedric LM - McQueen DM - Romeu AM - Lemina RM - JWP CF - Austin CF - Gabbi At least it gives a chance for delivery and goals. Why is 4-4-2 such a dirty word? 4-2-3-1 is about as successful as a dart in a dingy. pete_boggs added 17:44 - Sep 9
