TRC Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I know its a disgrace that he should be relied on in an attacking sense. Not really, as he's very good going forward. We have to use his strenghts. No point in playing him if can't bomb down the wing. I know what you mean, but we continued to play it down that side even though it wasnt working. Having a full back like that is a luxury, not plan A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Still don't think he's as good as some see him. His crosses hardly ever find our strikers and he looks phisically weak far too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Still don't think he's as good as some see him. His crosses hardly ever find our strikers and he looks phisically weak far too often. Crossing the ball in early and hoping it lands favourably off Cisse/Ameobi's head shouldn't be our primary strategy. Don't think he's weak, either.

Skeletor Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It has be to be tactical as all of our players today were over hitting crosses to a heavily marked Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those bloody diagonal crosses from deep into the box are absolute toilet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Quality today. He was left on his arse a few times when competing for the ball. He needs to try to stay on his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember that tbh.He does like a slide tackle, but looks a good defender to me.Two great interceptions at the end in quick succession iirc. He's been the best of our january signings. Consistently looks to get forward but rarely caught out positionally, excellent in the air, comfortable on the ball and solid defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I think because Jonas at fb worked that once (against Fulham I think) it's his go-to plan when we're chasing a late goal. Jonas v Lukaku was never going to work. Was a silly decision I maybe could have understood if we'd either had the ball 2nd half or made any attempt to play it out from the back.

Guest Roger Kint Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 MOTM for me by a distance. Thought Haidara did a pretty good job down the left too. MD was very good today, i had a few worries over him defensively from what i had seen in France but he did very well today. Haidara was great 1st half but went to shit for a bit in the 2nd, was a big lesson for him today with a huge lump running at him all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Simpson in particular, but you can see what he brings to the team that Simpson doesn't/can't do. The Wigan offside goal for example, I don't think I've ever seen Simpson make a run into a position like that to be caught offside having a shot at goal 15 yards out...and yesterday when he outmuscled Yacob and stormed forward to shoot wide. He's brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Top player imo. The most rounded and complete of our new signings. Tbf he is 27 but he's the real deal. Not potentially. He just IS a top 8 fullback imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
