Fuck off, honestly. Beyond belief the amount of shit you talk.
Edit- I would have posted the same at the time had I saw it btw I know this seems like a kneejerk.
We defend deep = he's good as he can see everything in front of him and doesn't have to worry about positioning too much.
We defend a high line = he gets caught out as he doesn't have the awareness or reading of the game to position himself and make judgements on when to push up to a man who's recieved the ball or to drop off.
He always plays better against the better teams, against Man Utd he had a great game and he played well against Arsenal too.
I'd like to see him in the target man role in a 433 with Owen and Oba at Fulham. He's performing well and putting himself about a lot but he's not much of a goal threat. Then you've got Martins who blows hot and cold and Owen who is proven but not necessarily going to stretch a defence anymore. With Owen dropping off as well into the hole I think that would work well in front of a 3 of Butt, Barton and Jonas.
Agree there. Had a great game tonight, needs to replicate that regularly now.
I thought you'd be in here breaking up the party
We've seen games like this before from him and he hasn't kicked on afterwards. Good performance today but I'm not getting carried away.
How's that?
