Taylor Swift Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Duff is shit! As a winger, definitely. But as a striker, he keeps the ball well and I'm fine with us playing a little safe away from home against a team with a lot of pace. We need to make sure we keep more possession and tire them out eventually by just passing it around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thank you for your speedy replies! Content with that. Duff's got a bit more legs than Viduka and i think we may need to focus quite a bit on counter-attack today. Still feels a tad as if Damien Duff 'simply must play', but in fairness to the guy he did score a hell of a goal the other day. Made by the guy who he's replaced, btw... Howay the lads.

Beezeri Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 interested in seeing how Owen and Duff work out, hopefully our wingers will be spearheading the counter attacks with their pace At least we can't play long balls! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pah. For the record i think we'll grab a resolut 1-all draw; us to score first. It might not do a lot to the table but i'd be happy with that.

Guest The Libertine Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 if we'd started viduka we'd have won. if he's not fit enough to start then throw him on at half time regardless of the score. we need him match fit asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 We'll win. I don't see why everyones so worried about Zaki, he hasn't scored for months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Really annoyed that uff is starting! We need to compensate for the lack of Martins in away games like this. It's going to be scrappy and they're good going forward, so if we are going to try and catch them on the breakaway then we're better off with Duff than we are Viduka. Besides, as frustrating as Duff is, (running down blind allies, running forward but not actually gaining any yards), it retains possession and we need to be cautious going into this game. If we were at home i'd be pretty pissed off, but given we're at a place where we've lost every game, it's relatively sensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikers always end their drought against us. Heskey worries me more to be fair though, Colo might struggle with his brutishness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Why on earth do we have 3 strikers on the bench today? We should atleast had one more midfielder on the bench... Not a major thing anyway. If he needs or wants to bring on a midfielder, he's got Geremi, if he needs to change wingers, he can put Duff there and put Viduka up front or whatever, and if we then need to bring on a striker he's got a choice. Mountains out of molehills again I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
