Hold on a minute. This is the same Ryan Taylor who has gained us quite a few points recently? Drop him for a couple of mistakes under pressure against the leagues best team? Drop the fella whose done so well for the last 10 games for a young kid who is untried or tested in the prem?
Same lad that would have been a hell of a lot more exposed had it not been for the chap playing in front of him on the left wing. Forgot his name again? Who is it?
See this is a debatable point.
I get how Jonas was asked to do a job against Stoke and it worked. But......
He now doesnt attack at all (not that I think it was ever great).
If we had someone, him or another, attacking down the left, that would also ease pressure on Taylor because they would be defending against us and not us sitting back at defending against them.
Whether you agree with me, you'll have heard the phrase " the best line of defence is attack". Basically what Im getting at here.
And, because he is attacking we have turned very one sided with most attacks coming down the right either with Obertan or Sammi. Much better in my deluded opinion to have attacks going down both flanks.
You do realise that you've just completely contradicted yourself here, right?
Nope, I dont......
You've basically just criticised and taken a high ground over posters in this thread for wanting to change a system 'that saw us go 11 games unbeaten' but then just said you want to change it round in other ways, even suggesting omitting Jonas from the side.
Not really. Its pretty clear Im talking about the role he has been asked to play been a problem rather than it been his fault.
Doesn't matter. You've highlighted an area/system within the team you think should be changed despite by your own admission telling other people on here to not even entertain the idea of playing Ben Arfa (despite playing better against City than Best has for a number of weeks) because it's not part of the 'successful formula'. If you're listening to your own stance, then really you should have nowt to debate/complain about and you should be 100% happy with the role Jonas plays.
Why bother. If we ignore him he might get bored and go away.
