QBG Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 We've missed Guthrie imo. Decent player and a good passer of the ball. Also gives the midfield a lot of go forward, will be very useful against the mid-lower table teams. Mid-table premiership is probably his level tbh.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 We can't go wihout Routledge and Jonas IMO, would make our whole team dangerously pedestrian and limp going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also gives the midfield a lot of go forward, will be very useful against the mid-lower table teams. Mid-table premiership is probably his level tbh. Fairly good player, but he is extremely slow releasing it at times and is not the most forward thinking, just watch how much he turns around and plays back, boils my p*as at times, could do with him in team for freekicks and spraying the ball around the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signing of Routledge was good on an individual basis but more importantly it allowed Guthrie to move into the centre and Smith to drop to the bench. We never looked back from that point on. He's a good passer of the ball and does the simple things well, keeping us ticking over in the middle of the park. Atleast his role is actually defined rather than Smith who just offers nowt.

Mid-table premiership is probably his level tbh. guthrie had been the luckiest player at SJP for a while in that when he didn't play it invariably meant alan smith did. now with tiote and gosling to come, guthrie will take his rightful place on the bench at best.

Well I mean I watched the WC but can't say I noticed him. Hughton must rate him as an alternative to Smith though (said he was competing for the position when he signed) or he wouldn't have bought him with cash money. Smith was poor last game so I'd give Tiote a chance, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Says the person who's seen equally fuck all of two new players but can put them both in front of Guthrie who doesn't even play the same position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I can probably count the number of times I've seen him play on both hands and he's comfortably better than Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Also I think a lot of people were putting him in the starting XI because... he told the Ronnie Gill he would be in the starting XI. That seems reasonable to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Says the person who's seen equally f*** all of two new players but can put them both in front of Guthrie who doesn't even play the same position. i've seen enough of gosling to know i'd put him instead of guthrie, i've seen enough of barton,ben arfa,jonas,routledge to take the risk of leaving guthrie out for tiote. i dont rate the lad so i'll take the word of others on tiote. edit..."doesn't play the same position"....i'll bet they will all be vying for one of two central midfield roles with the emphasis being on box to box as opposed to moderatly creative floater who doesn't defend or get forward.
