Ronaldo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Norwich -1 is 10/3. Put your house on it if it's those two starting in the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I can never put a bet on against Newcastle. Feels morally wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Taylor will still start IMO, if Santon is playing I would imagine it's Perch and Simpson in the centre. Two right backs with no height playing in the centre of defence against a big physical side? It won't end well. Ryan Taylor is taller than Simpson, why doesn't he play in the centre?

Ronaldo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Simpson and Raylor are about the same height anyway. One of them can occasionally defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The height crap about CB's is bullshit. Don't know the English word but I'm getting "elasticity, springiness" when translating. Well, that and timing is the important attributes. The fact that Simpson and Perch aren't tall isn't the problem here though. They're just shit (Not counting Simpson as a RB here).

Ronaldo Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 See that's a silly opinion too. A bit of height is important for central defenders in this country and always will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 See that's a silly opinion too. A bit of height is important for central defenders in this country and always will be. Agreed. Can't think of a single short centre half who's been decent in England in living memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah,not exactly great news if he's starting instead of Colo. Absolutely ridiculous if he's getting his first league start away at Norwich playing centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Chris Perry is the only decent, short centre back that springs to mind. Wasn't great but made a decent career for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Perch has very decent height for a centreback. Being piss weak is his issue. And generally crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Perch has very decent height for a centreback. Being piss weak is his issue. And generally crap. Perch is weak because he's a right back. Put most full backs in the centre and they'll look lightweight. I'd still rather see him in there than Simpson or Ryan Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 On August 30, 2011, Santon signed for English club Newcastle United on a 5 year contract, for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £5.3m.[14][15] He instantly struck a chord with the Toon Army when he cheekily confessed he’d never seen a Mackem in Milan.[16] (Intimating that Newcastle United's local rivals Sunderland, never qualify to play in European competitions) He made his Newcastle debut on 16 October 2011 as a second half substitute against Tottenham Hotspur.[17] I now feel more confident again.
