Dave Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Colo played some decent long passes today I thought. Dummett just smashed it forwards aimlessly and most of the time out of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greydos Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Colo played some decent long passes today I thought. Dummett just smashed it forwards aimlessly and most of the time out of play. Colo played some nice passes on the floor into Cisse and Sissoko's feet. Dummet is terrible on the ball. Whereas a decent player passes the ball to another player, Dummett always passes the ball to an "area." He's the typical no talent kid stuck at fullback at school: you tell good players to try and pick out so-an-so up top, you tell a Dummett to "hit it up the channel." At least he looks like he thinks that when he gets the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Has to play in games like today against the poorer sides where they're going to sit back. Fair enough Sissoko and Gini on the wings away or against the good sides at home, but today we needed to stretch the play a lot more than we did.

huss9 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 we need better cm's if thauvin's to flourish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Starting Thauvin means dropping someone (Anita) and putting players in positions they apparently can't play in (Wijnaldum). Put Gini #10 (he roams everywhere as it is), Thauvin left, Sissoko right. 4-2-3-1 Perez? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Dunno if it was Hutton bad or tired or Thauvin good, but he beat him several times to the outside and swung in good crosses. On another day, Mitrovic will reach them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 may prove to be useful when the game's more stretched in the last twenty minutes. Far to early to judge him. thought he did well yesterday though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontenacity Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 One thing I have to give credit to McClaren for is his willingness to put Thauvin on at the end of games, regardless of whether we are chasing a game or defending a lead. Pardew/Carver would have just thrown Gouffran on. One of the few indications that McClaren is a little more adventurous. We have all been saying for years that the worst thing to do when we are leading is to just chuck on players who the manager thinks can 'track back' and doesn't offer too much 'fret' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thauvin was class yesterday, his first touches his pace on the ball in those conditions and he got every cross in the right area. Was very impressed, there is a player in there for us! As per the points above, I would also rather we dropped one of Anita/Colback and bring Wijnadlum into the middle. Actually, i think if we were to do that we need to bring Tiote back into the middle and drop both anita and colback and go something like this: ------------------------------------fats-------------------------------------- Janmmaaaat------Mbemba--------------Colo-----------Mbabu (dummet just gets worse) -------------------------------Tiote----------------------------------- Perez------------Wiji---------------DeJong-----------Sissoko ---------------------------Nitro------------------------------------ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Anita Sissoko Wijnaldum Perez Thauvin Mitro That'd be decent imo. The four ahead of Anita can switch up to a certain extent with overlaps and Perez / Thauvin coming inside. Mitro the focal point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he's slower than Colback and he will always be scared of being injured again and will most of the times pull out of important challenges in midfield imo.

Chris Banaloona Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Elliot Janmaat Mbemba Collocini Mbabu Colback Sissoko Wijnaldum Perez Thauvin Mitrovic Is quite clearly our strongest lineup at present. There could even be rotation between Ayoze and Sissoko as we attack down the right hand side. With Perez's movement inside create space and opportunities for Moussa to exploit. It will never happen though as it seems McClaren is going all Boro on us (from what I remember they were horrendously rigid throughout his stint there especially in the first 18 months).
