Wullie Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 all the play kept going through him first half which hurt us and santon was getting really frustrated at not getting the ball. I know it'll really upset Mole but Santon consistently looks fantastic when he drives at the full back but is then consistently unable to deliver a final ball, either because his left is a swinger or because he cuts inside, is reluctant to shoot and ends up easily crowded out. I want Debuchy too but I'd also take a left back instead so we could switch him over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be too disappointed to see Raylor left back and Santon RB against Villa if we didn't sign anyone of course. Fucking sign someone ya bastards.

I want Debuchy too but I'd also take a left back instead so we could switch him over. Why would it upset me? it's an opinion and for what its worth i think your right i just think he's still very good there and we should be getting the best fullback available to us. If that's a LB then switch him over and if it's a RB then leave him there i still think Santon would be great for us no matter if it's RB or LB. Things like this don't upset me, in fact nothing on here does i might disagree with some opinions and state why but upset nah. Also i thought Simpson was very good today.

Hughesy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If I see Simpson get the ball in the opposition half in acres of space, proceed to shuffle along until both the opposition full back and winger have had time to close him down and then put in one of his floaty crosses...

The floaty cross, like the one Ba scored from last week? His crossing is terrible. One cross that indirectly leads to a goal isn't going to change my mind on that one. It's the inability to actually attack his opposite full back with any kind of pace or guile that more annoys me. Just slows down the attack so much.

NEEJ Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's so important that we upgrade on Simpson, whether that means moving Santon across and buying a left back, or buying a right back. Having two full-backs who are comfortable on the ball would be incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Did he pick up a knock, or did Pardew replace him for tactical reasons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think he probably saw Cabaye's set pieces were poor so gave us a different option. I also like his attacking instinct when he takes off Santon for Marveaux and drops Jonas to full back. I'd never start that way but it's an attacking move when chasing a game.

ATB Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Tbh. I don´t think taking Santon off and to put Jonas as LB needs to make us more offensive. General I would say that Santon is a more offensive threat than Jonas. But in this game I think I can agree. Santon hasn´t hit last seasons form yet (as many others hasn´t...).

Guest Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Maybe more down to Jonas' natural fitness to keep carrying the ball for 90 minutes then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Maybe more down to Jonas' natural fitness to keep carrying the ball for 90 minutes then? As I said. I got nothing against the sub this weekend. Was just saying that in this case it doesn´t necessary is a more offensive sub to take out the LB. It´s not like taking out Simpson for Marv or anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You'd like to think if Cabaye's set pieces weren't poor (which I can only put down to him playing in a two rather than a three), he'd have just switched Santon to rb rather than using Taylor.

Reply Retweet Favorite QuaysideKelly @quaysidekelly @Lee Ryder And what was your match rating for Simmo, on the weekend. Reply Retweet Favorite Lee Ryder @lee_ryder @QuaysideKelly Normally i'd just pencil in a 7 or 8 for Mr Reliable, anf leave it at that. Had on off day against #cfc. A 6 rating.
