Dave Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Kinda depressing how you could instantly notice the difference in having someone in Simpson's place who is more comfortable on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If he doesn't want to play full back long term he went about it the wrong way today, he was great. He did mention in an interview that he'd be willing to play anywhere so yep, think we have our RB if Simpson's out for a while. If Anita's happy to play right back Simpson should be irrelevant.

Wait and see I guess. Though I'm pretty sure that Simpson (if fit that is) is going to be Pardew's first choice RB for the foreseeable future (or for the next four months).

Mick Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Kinda depressing how you could instantly notice the difference in having someone in Simpson's place who is more comfortable on the ball. Most people around me were moaning about our luck when Simpson started holding his thigh and I said it might be a blessing in disguise. It's just a pity that our overall display was poor and we didn't get to see how much of a difference it could have made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Really looked like it had potential having him bombing on, on the over-lap. He's definitely got the pace to play fullback anyways. Would like to give it a try when tiote is back as long as he doesn't hate playing there, which he didn't seem to. Plus it maybe beneficial in helping him settle into the premiership more rather than in a 2 man midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VegasToon Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I thought Anita looked fantastic at RB. Can we hope he wants to stay and play there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Depending on Simpson's injury we might have to play them whether he want's to or not. Personally would like to see 4-3-3 with the same midfield as last year(Cabaye-Tiote-Jonas) and Anita at RB. Seems a bit of a pipe dream though.

captainhaircut Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 At least he doesn't get a nosebleed every time he goes past the half way line At least his crosses actually meant something. We nearly scored from 2. He has to play at right back until January for me. Jonas can do a job in the middle with Tiote until then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Poor in midfield last night. No presence. Put a foot in at the wrong times. Much better at RB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 He's still adjusting to the league, and playing in one of the most influential positions of CM in the best league in the world is not an easy task. I think he's been looking better at RB because it does not need as much adjusting, and he has such unspectacular company to compete with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
