buzza Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Alderweireld is a good footballer, but he's a bit weak and not too aggressive. Simeone hasn't used him much. He's also of that weird Belgian centreback stock that seems better going forward than actually defending. Agree with above... can someone inform Pardle/Ashley that there is a six foot four defensive machine playing football about 150 miles north of SJP available at a decent price?

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Tbf to Alderwiereld at Atletico he's mainly played at fullback not at centre back so it's difficult to judge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 if pardew has managed to convince ashley, or indeed anyone else on the planet, that the answer to our problems is a striker then we're in serious fucking trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Our main problem is Pardews inability to organise the defence, no matter who we have. Would be nice to have some better quality than the shit we have though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to have some better quality than the shit we have though. i don't necessarily agree, he's shown in the past he can organise a defence but the problem is that he can't do it at the same time as getting the team to transition effectively between attack and defence so in effect it's either all defence or some attack and chaos at the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Our defending won't improve no matter how good defenders we bring in as long as Pardew is in charge! We need a new manager ASAP and preferably someone who understand the basic principles of a game called football! this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's what we get for trying to wait until deadline day. I know people believe he wouldn't have come regardless but for the right price he'd be here like a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The importance of having a proper striker as a figurehead couldn't be more emphasised than the acquisition of Balotelli by Liverpool. They look much better for having a proper front man who Sturridge and Sterling can play off. Our failure to buy a proper striker will cost us big time, and we've already dropped 4 points as a result. This is why the stingy approach to buying players and hiring shit managers does not deserve our support. May the poor results continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
