KaKa Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Unfortunately, it look slike barton is one of those players who cannot be effective unless he is playing angry and a bit on the edge. Now he cannot afford to play this way due to his latest troubles, I feel we have essentially been lumbered with a player who is a shadow of what he was. Roy Keane wouldn't have been the same without that psychotic streak in him and even Rooney is a tad mental too. However for the most part these two keep it together and more importantly they are calm off the pitch. Not sure we'll ever see a half decent Joey Barton. As I said in the match thread I would seriously consider stopping his therapy in the couple of days leading up to each game, and having people antogonise him the day and night before the game. We could probably pay someone to do this, someone who doesn't mind being bashed around obviously and who won't go running to the press. Joey caan then be rushed straight back into treatment immediately after each game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ally for manager. Sorry did I offend your favourite player? He doesn't have enough composure to take a good corner, he'd just smack it and it would go anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Nah, just wasn't really a serious suggestion. Was more to point out how shite our squad is at taking corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Nah, just wasn't really a serious suggestion. Was more to point out how shite our squad is at taking corners. We could always try the short corner option, but we can't retain possession for love nor money so that idea goes straight down the pan! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We should sign Gareth Barry, purely for his corners. Hmm, thinking about that, aren't they a bit shit as of late too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I reckon Enrique could whip in a good corner. He can't be any worse than N'Zogbia or Geremi, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublecrown Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Emre has been a complete waste of space since he arrived. I travelled all the way from Bellingham, WA to Newcastle to see a match during the 2005/2006 season (vs. Birmingham at SJP). We won in like the 70th minute with an Emre goal - game ended 1-0. I still have amazing memories of how the crowd erupted when it went in. For that I'll always have a soft spot for him. I think he is/was a great player, however, I agree the injuries are getting frustrating... Sean Bellingham, WA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, I was at the aforementioned Birmingham (h) game, and the crowd's relief when the goal went in was plain for all to see. We were on a bit of a bad run at the time and we played a bit crap on the day, remember Pandiani hitting the bar and us looking shaky as usual, but Emre was class that game, he managed to be a creative midfielder and an engine at the same time. He's like Viduka: Keep him fit and he is very good. Don't keep him fit, he is a waste of space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The only players in Fulham's team that offer any remote threat to Harper's goal are McBride, Bullard and Johnson. Keep those three quiet and we should be able to grind out a win here, no problem. Faye needs to play despite his shocker on Monday night - McBride is a big lad who doesn't take any prisoners in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
