BONTEMPI Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think Dummetts poor performance at left back today was a good audition for him to move to the centre. He's been totally crap every time he's been at left back so why the fuck do they persist with playing him there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 With Wijnaldum wanting to cut in all the time and Dummett being unable to do anything other than pass the ball to a centre back it pretty much means we can only attack down the right which is a bit of hinderance really. So aye, he'd probably move him central too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think it's fair to say that if Colo had been replaced by a semi-decent defender then this situation wouldn't have arisen as Fletcher would have been outrun and we'll covered. However that doesn't detract from the fact he was treated harshly by the referee for a shoulder to shoulder challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The situation came about because Colo and Elliot are so slow. That's their fault. Penalty. Red card. Very harsh imo but only happened because of the first problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 We've all known that Colo has been on the wane for some time. Another brilliant choice by the regime to always pick the cheaper option. But he was fine and it wasnt a pen so I dont see the point. It was a pen.

The College Dropout Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The Football Association's law on impeding an opponent says: " A player who places himself between an opponent and the ball for tactical reasons has not committed an offence as long as the ball is kept within playing distance and the player does not hold off the opponent with his arms or body. "If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Club cheaped out getting a replacement for him and now we're stuck with him for even longer. It was a make or break decision and after years of wanting him gone I was prepared to see how the move to keep him panned out. Well it's panned out fucking shit...as expected. This man cost us HBA, he was responsible for seeing him out the door so much more than Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Colo needed to be moved on and another CB bought, of course a quicker defender stays ahead of Fletcher BUT it doesn't change what was a joke of a penalty and sending off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 No way it's going to happen but think we need 5 in January: 1. Keeper to replace the tub of lard (unless Darlow is up to the job which I doubt) 2. New CB 3. New LB 4. New CM 5. New CF We need to get it right or it's back to the Championship.

We would only need 1 quality addition with the attributes the team needs in CB or CM to be comfortable. Get both and we have something pretty tasty. Won't happen.

merlin Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Although Coloccini should have been replaced 2 seasons ago, he was NOT guilty of conceding a penalty yesterday...football should be a contact sport within the rules and always has been, but the art of defending has been sacrificed to continental tip-tap with the willing acquiescence of the FA/PL. Nobody wants to see over-the-top tackles or spitting etc but Colo's shouldering of his opponent yesterday WITHOUT grabbing him was not and never should be, a penalty. This awful and possibly malicious decision by the referee could end up costing the club millions by causing relegation at the end of the season. Nobody can do anything if referees - who I believe are now a law unto themselves with the active participation of the PL and FA - make clearly wrong decisions which affect matches. The game's ruling authorities are being exposed as open to corruption and I shall never forget Maradona's handball which put England out of the WC and yet was treated as a joke by FIFA... Politics is now endemic in the game...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
