Frazzle Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Don't see why we should drop Gutierrez, he's actually set up a few and scored one this season. Add that to the fact that he's a good 'defensive winger' and I think he's perfect for away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Jonas needs reminding that he's not an automatic choice. Hmm, I agree with you in practice here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 He's been playing well though, I'd definitely have him playing in away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 He was dropped for a couple of games in September, came back against City and played brilliantly for the next 4 or so. Recently he's dipped, and not doing what we need him to. Routledge and Simpson looked really encouraging against the best LB in the world today. Perch was holding Wayne back, as most of us suspected.

relámpago blanco Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Liek I've always said, Routledge has a massive amount of ability he just doesn't know how to use it. He's as quick as anyone imo but often won't knock it and run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Cole didn't seem to venture forward much though (whether that's down to Routledge's presence, who knows?) whereas Jonas was forced back a bit more it seemed. Like I say, I wouldn't drop Jonas. You could use the same argument against Routledge saying he shouldn't replace Jonas after one decent game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Routledge Tiote Nolan Barton for WBA. I'd never play Barton on the left. He's our best crosser of a ball - I'd have him straight back in on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our best crosser of a ball - I'd have him straight back in on the right. Most of those good crosses come from set-pieces. Not from him being on the RW.

Some of his cross field passes make a massive difference as well. Routledge's pace gives us something which we badly need, yet I'm sure if you asked Andy Carroll who he'd rather have out there, he'd pick Barton every time.

We need to add an extra dimension as we're far too one-sided and team's know it. Ideally I'd like to see Barton, Jonas and Routledge on the pitch, especially at home.

Why not go for that against WBA with Tiote in there too then? Seems a better option than putting Nolan in and dropping Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Take Taarabt here and send Wayne back to QPR. I'm not sure which is worse - someone who won't part with the bloody ball or someone who's scared of it. Actually I'd take Taarabt. On the grounds that he might improve.
