ujpest doza Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 They have the same weaknesses. We need to abandon this sentimental bullocks and find a CB pairing that doesn't get bullied by crap like Rodellega and Graham, doesn't get injured every 8 games, doesn't ask to leave the club that pays them a fucking fortune, and scores the odd goal. Mertelsacker and Koscielny? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What's a storied franchise when it's at home? Great, here come the jackals. A "storied club" I meant to say, before I'm castigated. What does storied mean? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 This lad and Coloccini as a partnership is one of the very few reasons for positivity approaching next season. I expect him to develop into one hell of a defender, especially under Colo's guidance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yep, can't wait to see him play more games and grow as a player. Still convinced this lad has got a huge future once he is truly bedded in here and adapted to our league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 If Taylor is fit I still think Pardew will choose him ahead of Mapou every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 As much as I'd rather MYM be in the middle, I think our strongest back four is probably Debuchy, Taylor, Colo, MYM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 As much as I'd rather MYM be in the middle, I think our strongest back four is probably Debuchy, Taylor, Colo, MYM. We have two very capable LBs though, not to use either would be a mistake I think. Having all of our 3 acceptable CBs on the pitch at once is also not a good idea.

We have two very capable LBs though, not to use either would be a mistake I think. Having all of our 3 acceptable CBs on the pitch at once is also not a good idea. Completely agree to be honest, but if we're fielding a strongest possible defence, at this time I think that's it and wouldn't be surprised to see Pardew use it. I do also think that MYM will be in the team more often than he's not, wherever it be across the back four (regardless of Taylor's fitnees). I'm also leaning towards Haidara over Santon as well to be honest. I like Santon but can't help but feel he's a bit of a liability defensively and he's also becoming predictable going forward.

alexf Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Could be argued we are running the risk of more injuries if we play our 3 best CBs each week rather than resting and rotating one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 If Taylor is fit I still think Pardew will choose him ahead of Mapou every time. Purely based on nationality, because Pards is dense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Well, in the midst of what is sure to be a pretty poor season at least I can console myself with the fact that I support a storied franchise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's what I meant. IMO we can't afford to play them all together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Spurs did it a lot with Vertoghnen and it helped him settle into the league and side for when he moved to CB. Kaboul too spent a lot of time in midfield in the PL before going back to CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the January signings are going to look totally different for us this year. They did not arrive into a good situation in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
