Guest Dontooner Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Can say the same for simmo playing right back....i would much rather Jonas to be starting. Unless we have someone better then Simmo....which is in your opinion from your reactions a player which you rate alot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Simpson is a natural right back. Jonas is a winger. Personally I rate Simpson over Raylor, but with Santon out, they're both bound to start. I can see Jonas as a wing back in a Napoli-style formation, but not as a dependent part of a 4 man defense.

Sorry but imo Simpson a poor footballer , and one of the most overrated to hold onto shirt for periods since Boumsong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson is a steady performer, and while he isn't extraordinary he does the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Simpson has been overly criticised recently IMO, he has made good improvements since he signed and there's no reason to change him at the moment. Especially not by playing a midfielder out of position, or playing Ryan Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Simpson should be replaced next summer. No question about it. Alternatively, play Santon in his strongest position (RB) and sign a left-back of equal quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, although i don't rate Raylor at all i've actually seen him play better this season at LB than Simmo managed in the same game at RB. I don't think Simmo's a particulary bad player but he hasn't had a good start to the season. Problems with his bairn may be on his mind, i know it would mine! Saying that though, i'm not sure i can remember him ever actually blocking a cross because he's stuck to the winger and denied him space! I would think that's a fairly fundamental trait you'd look for in a FB!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition will do him the world of good. I would probably prefer to see us buy a LB (Cissokho preferably) and switch Santon over to the right.

Guest magpie99 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I would really like to see young Ferguson given a decent run at left back and Santon switched over to the right when he is fit. Jonas should only play tough home and away games whhere the plan is to frustrated the opposition and try and hit them on the break. For games where we should be attascking the opposition home and away, Marveaux on the left for his creative influence. Whatever game, keep Fergie at left back because this kid is definitely a future star in my opinion and needs games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Whatever game, keep Fergie at left back because this kid is definitely a future star in my opinion and needs games now. don't disagree with this personally unless the coaching staff feel he's out of his depth even if his eventual position will be winger if he's capable of playing at LB at such a young age it'd stand him in good stead for the future and develop the defensive side of his game, teach him positional sense and how better to attack his own opposition FB etc. don't subscribe to the idea that playing him LB will somehow hamper his development as a winger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best left back we have had in recent times, other than Enrique, was Olivier Bernard who started as a midfielder but was quietly asnd effectively converted to a quality attacking left back. Although he had some occasions where he was susceptible, on most occasions, he was good and played effectively in the CL in the position. Handled properly, young Fergie could achieve even more in the future but now would be a good time to push him in for an extended period. I like the fact he has trickery and pace which can only benefit the side overall. There again, I am a huge believer in the fact that if you are young enough, and good enough, get them in there. Games against good quality opposition can only improve him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 i still think ferguson is more suited as a modern day left back. attacking fullback. think he can work on his defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hmmm in relation to Cabaye thread where someone propose HBA as a trequarista a la messi (which i think is probably too ambitious atm) but wondering if this would allow Marveaux a better role, see krul Simp Colo taylor Santon Tiote Cabaye Marveaux Obertan HBA Gutierrez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 There's no way that would work. For that to work you need to forwards/winger capable of beating a man and having a really good end product. Which Jonas lacks and I really don't think Marveaux would thrive centrally like that. These players are not Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, lets net get ahead of ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Well yes, but while no Barcalona we aren't in champions league etc. Anyway I agree actually, we're let down by our wingers who aren't going to be scoring goals enough, so should be playing more traditionally, and need a proper striker in the team.

Tiresias Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I don't think it's that bonkers actually, Blackpool pulled it off against a lot of the premiership with worse players than us, and before you say well they got relegated, that was because they tried it against teams that knew better as well, and had a much worse defense than us. I'm not saying this is an idea for every game ever, but I think it may be worth investigating, particularly against a team we are going to absolutely boss in midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
