Guest Haris Vuckic Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Additional to this I think Ferguson will be better as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Sometimes managers have to be brave. Santon at right back and Shane at left. I agree he is looks more like a winger but Im sure he would do better at LB than Taylor and Santon would do better than Simpson. At the moment though we are just not creating and he is someone who can create, cross or shoot and should definitely be seeing some game time against the lesser opposition.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Santon is going to be playing left back tbh. He's versatile & more inclined to use his right foot - i appreciate that but he's a left back. That's his job. Like other right footed left backs, Maldini, Lahm, Carragher etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that as an attacking force a full back pairing of Santon and Ferguson makes sense. It's never a formation that has worked well for us but I wonder about: Krul Saylor Colo Williamson (Pieters!) Santon Ferguson Tiote Cabaye HBA Marveaux (Jonas) Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 It might be something to do with that left back they spent £5m being on the bench instead. Or not having enough matches under his belt after missing pre season with injury he just mightn't be ready for speed of PL. I think it's both but more the former than the latter!

Guest Roger Kint Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Should be his time now, surely a better option than Ryan Taylor.

TRon Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Should be his time now, surely a better option than Ryan Taylor. Aye those two professional games as a defender are more than enough experience to be thrown into a regular PL slot. This why signing Neil Taylor would have been a good idea, even if we had to pay more than £1m for him. The decision not to buy any back up was made on the basis that Ferguson could be the understudy I presume. In which case the club has to back their decision and put him in at left back. If Ryan Taylor continues there is no hope of improving the dire football we've been forced to watch this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Taylor can have all the experience in the world but i believe Ferguson is a better option at left back. Based on just two reserve games as a defender in his professional career. You cant possibly know that he has all the defensive side to his game sorted out better than Raylor will be from those games. Raylor isnt even the most experienced at LB but at least he knows the defensive side pretty well(even if he does get raped by fast tricky players) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CheickMansour Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'd be open to Kadar getting a game. How long has he been fit for? Has he had much of a pre-season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 No, Alan Smith is just that bad One day he'll just chest the ball down in our box and volley one in, instead of making any pretense of playing for our side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
