sugoinufc Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Would like a squad of 22-24 players GOAL 1. krul 2. Darlow RB 3. Janmaat 4. New young back up LB 5. Haidara 6. Dummet 7. New first choice CB. 8. Colo (could still be good in the new set up) 9. New (maybe Matip) 10. New (first choice) 11. New young 4th choice (or Dummet or Taylor) CM 12. Anita 13. Wijnaldum 14. Sissoko 15. Colback 16. De Jong 17. Abeid or Tiote RW & LW 18. Aarons 19. Cabella 20. New quality winger (Sissoko, Perez and Wijnaldum can all cover) Striker 21. Cisse (would like to keep) 22. Perez 23. New quality striker (maybe Austin or Mitrović) Unfortunately that wont happen while Williamson, Obertan, Riviere, Marveaux, Gouffran, Elliott etc are still here stealing a wage I know. But it would be an exciting squad. Should be fairly easy to ship some of the deadwood you mention. The should still be attractive for smaller clubs with all their experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Then stop f***ing spouting off stats that don't mean s*** But he doesn't lose the ball that often. Abeid under Carver was much worse for that. People here just spout any crap. I provide logic. If you think Tiote doesn't lose the ball often, your logic is as sound as your opinion of Cabella's towering height. Tiote - 81.7 Anita - 81.1 He might lose the ball more times a match due to having the ball more. But he doesn't lose it more often. Is that pass completion? Does that include all the times he holds on to the ball, spins around a bit beofre being tackled? Doubt it given that that isn't a pass mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote gets "fouled" a lot when he fannies on the ball. And he must make some passes under extreme pressure that don't help build a rhythm. But Tiote losing the ball often? Myth.

The College Dropout Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Would rather 75% completed forwards than 100% 5 yards backwards mind. Such a worthless stat to use It's not worthless when comparing players that mostly play it sideways in Tiote & Anita. And any decent forward thinking player still has really respectable pass completion. The one thing I like about henderson is that he tries ambitious passes. His ps% is 82%. Michael carrick is brilliant at 2 touch - instant forward passes. 89%. YoCabs 89%. 89% Mata. Fabregas 85%. Wijnaldum 83%. Sissoko 79%. Regardless of the type of pass. A good passer finds his man. Tiote's not good but he's not constantly giving it away either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking stats man, just watch the fucking matches for once and you'll see Anita taking the more ambitious pass and you'll see Tiote passing backwards. See Tiote comit a foul or be out a position and you'll see us having already lost the central battle. You'll also see us being prone to cards and giving away key free kicks that force danger situations in our own half. He hasn't been himself since the first two seasons we had him and it's a another Alan Pardew ruined career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Anita and ambitious passes? Are you fucking serious? Wish I could easily upload this screenshot of Anita's passing against S'hampton. 85% pass completion. NOT A SINGLE SUCCESFUL FORWARD PASS. Anita's passing is quicker aye but it's no more ambitious than Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
