Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Aye we'll just sign David Silva then As well as the rest of the Manchester City squad. Maybe we'll apply a bit of pressure and win a few 50/50s then, and win a few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll apply a bit of pressure and win a few 50/50s then, and win a few games. Or maybe the Man City boss should ask Silva to sit back and challenge for 50/50's while we lump the ball in the general direction of Dzeko? Sounds like a mint plan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 ...or maybe we could just have a balanced midfield with a ball-winner and a playmaker like most decent sides...lads? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Why would he need to sit back to challenge for a 50/50? Why do most of our midfielders sit back? Why does the keeper hoof the ball long? These are all important questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has this got to do with anything, Heza? Every player in your squad should ideally be able to challenge for the ball and not bottle it, especially your midfield, and especially in a squad like ours which cannot really afford a luxury player. Not that I think Marveaux cannot have his games, but we really need a proper attacking midfielder imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Such a bizarre player is Marveaux. At times I've seen him burn past players with pace and skill. I've seen him create goals with some fantastic pieces of vision and accuracy and yet too many times he has put in performances like that where he just goes missing or plays the game at half pace.

Jayson Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I just dont think hes confident enough in himself. He's a good set piece taker, yet today our best chance on goal from a set piece & he was outgunned by Bigirimana a 19 year old to take it. Hes 27 man. Raylor would've been all over that & rightfully so. You have to know your strengths & believe in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I thought he looked confident in that he went looking for the ball a lot but whenever he was in a pressurised situation, he generally shit himself. It's hard to know with Marv, he took a while to get going last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 i think the game over here is too intense for him. too quick, too hard. it's what mapou,debuchy and sissoko are coming to terms with and may not get there. cabaye adjusted very quickly, i think he's a one off for that.

I'll ask you the same question as earlier. Why do the better passing teams seem to have more time on the ball? I don't see Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs getting dragged into physical battles. We spend millions yet still end up looking like Southampton under Pardew. Why is that do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was barely to the left, as i say Raylor wouldnt care where it was. Marveaux is our first teams set piece taker when he actually plays the majority of the time, he should have the confidence in himself from that range. Do you think Cabaye, Barton, Solano, Raylor etc would have let a younger lad have a punt because he did well in reserve games? I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. marveaux is probabaly the set piece take for delivery when he plays but i'm not sure about shots at goal. fairly sure bigi has taken a few when the shots been on when in the europa etc. always been there or thereabouts aswell. closer than ben arfa normally gets.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 You're on the wind up here, aren't you TRon, you don't genuinely believe that challenging for 50/50s is some lower than Allardyce, conference bastard tactic. You had me going like, fair play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
