Mole_Toonfan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Our midfield has been crap for over a decade, even when Cabaye was here it was a problem. No idea why anyone would want to fix anything else before that. Not that it matters as we won't be buying anybody. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 They need to spend a fuck load of cash in Jan just to stay up ffs. What's 40m offset against hundreds of millions from the next to deal? Cretins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Would probably help if you weren't playing 4 central midfielders like. central midfielders who don't like to tackle might work in the dutch or French league but over here they just get steamrollered. I would look at players like Wijnaldum, Sissoko and De Jong as #10 withdrawn strikers rather than midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I've just spent 2 posts saying we need new CMs Given up on Sissoko? He's not been great recently but I still think the heart of the problem is centre midfield and down the spine of the side in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I've just spent 2 posts saying we need new CMs Given up on Sissoko? Never gets played CM which is odd I think there would be doubts as to whether he would be tracking back enough when we don't have possession. That seems to be a problem with all our midfielders. Then again, the two players who can be trusted to defend in central midfield just get brushed aside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I've just spent 2 posts saying we need new CMs Given up on Sissoko? No. I actually wouldn't be opposed to playing him next to a Capoue style DCM who was excellent at Toulouse with Moussa. Someone who's big, quick and can cover correctly, then sure would be great. But in this form and team I don't see how he works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Shawcross, Shelvey and a winger please. Although unlikely the first 2 would improve us no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah said Shawcross and Shelvey a couple of weeks back. They're exactly the sort of players we need and would be abundantly realistic if the club's ambition was any sort of reflection of its potential.
