TRon Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Great first half against Stoke, good second half today against Pompey. There's room for improvement but I'd like to see him get a run in the team before we finally give up on him. Duff's been given a fair crack of the whip, it would be nice to think after a 3-0 win away Zog's going to keep the shirt for a few games. Even when he's not in the game much he offers real threat and can hurt teams rather than fanny about without going anywhere like Duff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 He's had his moments over the past few games, he just needs to find some consistency. Agreed. And he'll only get that consistency with a regular run of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'll only get that consistency with a regular run of games. He was quiet in the first half but Enrique doesn't really offer a lot of support going forward. If Zog gets a run of games and he's enjoying it, who's to say we won't see him hitting the form he showed when Roeder first took over? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 He's paid his dues man either playing out of position or at left back for months, so he has earnt a run in the team imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 No-brainer. You think it's a no and Duff should get back in Wullie's a spazmong, Duff deffo shouldn't get Zog's place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Would prefer Jonas on the left and Geremi on the right. He's a complete liability on the ball at times to be honest letting teams hit us on the counter. He's a good player to have on the pitch late on in games when chasing a result, but thats about it.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think he deserves another 5 or so games to get settled in before we do anything like go for Geremi/Jonas on the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Even when he's shit Zog can still put in a cracking delivery. Duff hasn't done that once since coming here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Zog was a liability today, if anything he played it safe. If he's a liability on the ball, I'd say Geremi is a liability off it with his old legs and lack of ability to get up and down the pitch. we kept Portsmouth honest today with our threat on the break and Zog was part of that.

But Geremi can deliver the ball much better than Zog. Why doesn't he get in the side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Zog must stay in the side, he's given our flanks a good balance, last seen with Robert and Solano, nowhere near the complete player but he's just so dangerous on the counter, reminds me off Lennon (who i rate highly) just a better delivery. If he wasnt so one footed id have im on the right and jonas on the left, those 2 cutting in on there stronger foot would allow our fullbacks more space on the wing.

Didn't he score a cracker last season (think it was the smogs away) with his right? I'd also like to see them swap wings to see how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeh he did to be fair, but unlike Jonas he doesnt have a tendency to mover the ball onto his weaker foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it could work though and I'd really like to see it given a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Should have been in the team since he tore Everton apart in the 2nd half of that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 There's also an advantage to playing Zog: He's become more aware of his defensive duties because he's been played at LB a few times in his career. He's not as reckless and unaware as he used to be and this means that he's becoming almost as good as Duff defensively. He's tracking back more and his link up play with Enrique is getting better as well. There are many good signs and I hope he keeps it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
