Guest Chris P Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well you don't have to, but anyway the point is: while Duff has offered plenty of industry and running at defenders, that's as far as he seems to get. He never actually gets past them or puts in a decent cross. His end product is generally zero, plus he strikes me as someone who's head goes down. He was subbed by Keegan on Saturday early in the second half. does this mean Zog will finally get a run of games in that position? Had on. You're winging after we just won 2-0 against Royston Vasey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Duff the Provider ... he had the sense to let Jonas take the ball to the bye-line cos he had no chance being a useless cnut. He showboated ok when we were 2-0 up but he's about as useful as Milner... but doesn't work as hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Duff's still not actually delivering end product, but to be fair, he worked his socks off and rarely lost posession last night. He's just about keeping his place at the moment but he really needs to stay wide and go at the full backs with more conviction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 He's looked a good deal better than he did last year, but that's not saying much. Still has absolutely no end product whatsoever, can only assume that we've given up completely on N'Zogbia with Duff keeping his place every week.

ElDiablo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 His end product hasn't improved but at least he's attempting to run at people and commit defenders now, which is something we lack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 All he's needed was a run of games injury-free. This is pretty much the first time he's had that chance since we signed him. Was brilliant to see him running at Luke Young and then Reo-Coker and actually taking them on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 He's doing exactly what we need our wingers to do at this time. We've still got a weak centre midfield so if the wingers don't track back as well as attack then we'll get shafted in the middle of the park. Guthrie, who I think is a canny player isn't (yet) someone who I think can take charge of the middle of the pitch. Barton is still feeling his way and is improving. Butt is Butt, the mind is sharp but the body is weak. So any pairing of these will, when we get into the better teams get over-run so we have to back them up with the wingers. Zog, who I like, isn't that disciplined, he's a better attacker than Duff, but for the sake of our overall team we're better sticking with Duff until we get a more stronger midfield two or Zog learns.

Yorkie Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 ... probably in the best form in his career here, but it's still not ideal. He looks quicker and more willing to take on a man, but he can't cross and he can't shoot. He's forming a dynamic partnership with Gutierrez (not necassarily a brilliant one), and he's been okay. Just no end product, as has been said countless times. When i opened the thread i actually thought the opening post had been made today tbh, not in March.

Fatwax Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm still confused at to where his pace has gone. I know he's had a few injuries here and there but I can't recall him having one like Owen or Shearer. To my knowledge he sat on Chelseas bench after an ace season at Blackburn and has lacked speed ever since. He's not quite Geremi-esque, but when I watch him play I don't see him as that much of a speedy player. Nice to see him put the effort in though, I always appreciate people who'll put in the hours.

buzza Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've thought much the same when I've seen him, he does seem to have lost a good yard of pace, I can remember the european championships when he was skinning everyone with his pace down the wings...

fredbob Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Personal favourite, Kinnear will never drop Duff, really want to see Zog, think he;s a better ball carrier and will put more crosses in from more dangerous positions. Imagine having Zog and Jonas on both wings running at defenders and swapping positions.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
