The College Dropout Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 thats cus he does all of jonas' attacking for him. how u can say "he was the worst first team performer last season" knowing how useless some of the others were is ridiculous. Perfect thread for that opinion. Jonas does all his defending then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Aye, we sign strikers to defend corners. Then we complain every one of our players is in our own half. That 40% from RvP, where did you get that from anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 He's far from a hopeless defender. His issue is his positional sense which as of right now is very poor i agree. And to say he was our worse player is laughable, he was arguably our best in the first half and there was worse in the 2nd half despite his performances taking a nose dive. Also no defenders are going to look good consistently with how we played last year, we were asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he was as bad as anyone at the start and probably the worst for a large period. Your last point is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bonus if they do but it's clearly weird you expect it to come from every striker. Messi must be crap since he can't defend a corner too.

The College Dropout Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I just used it as an example of how limited Cisse is. Apart from goals, what does he offer a team? And now we are bringing in a big lad, who can hold it up a bit (by the looks of it). And a pacy striker that can stretch the opposition. None of this would matter if Cisse scored 25 goals though.

Incognito Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Cleverly is mega average really. Never should be an International footballer in a million years. Shows how shit this England era is. And Carrick whilst a good player, lacks pace. As was shown in the last World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Aye, Carrick lacks pace, but that's a bit like saying Krul is a bad finisher. It's just not his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Aye, Carrick lacks pace, but that's a bit like saying Krul is a bad finisher. It's just not his game. No, no it isnt that at all. When he was part of a midfield that was being ran past time and again by the Germany midfield, it really should be part of his game. And if he had the pace to help stop that kind of onslaught, then he could be considered an International class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I said it before. Gomis is a better version of Shola. He will do good stuff, but he will make the easiest misses, so I guess him and Cissé are the perfect couple... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
