duo Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The game was crying out for him today - Gayle just wasn't suited to the physicality. I take it you didn't see the game against them at SJP a few weeks ago. Nope was on Holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The game was crying out for him today - Gayle just wasn't suited to the physicality. Thought Gayle was OK today, the physicality wasn't a problem and we had a good few chances. Just think in general we'd get more from playing both, not necessarily as a front 2. Most of the time the problem is it's Gayle in the box and no one else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Reckon he's away after today. As I've said many times, benitez clearly doesn't fancy him, best for all parties he goes imo. Not convinced by him, personally, so won't be sad to see him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's a shame because i think he genuinely loves playing for us, which was a nice change after some of the lazy arseholes we've had in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Think it would be a shame to get rid of him. Gayle has been starting mainly because Gayle is on fire, I'm not sure how we know that Rafa doesn't like him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle has been starting mainly because Gayle is on fire, I'm not sure how we know that Rafa doesn't like him at all. It's very simple why. Rafa wants a mobile striker up front as that is a key part of his 4231 formation to work, otherwise the number 10 player needs to play further forward.

You'd think over christmas, games every 3 days or so he'd get a start. FWIW I don't believe the rotation thing about keeping players in top shape etc, it's about minor changes to try and keep the opposition guessing which can work for you as much as bite you on the arse.

shintonsghost Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 What boils my piss is when we throw on Perez who hides and struts around doing fuck all. Mitro will at least come on and look interested.its criminal and when you see Ayoze picked over him it makes me wonder about Rafa. Perez or Mitro.......let that sink in.

Rafa wants a mobile striker up front as that is a key part of his 4231 formation to work, otherwise the number 10 player needs to play further forward. A key part for that to work is that your opponent tries to play football. If they sit back it doesn't matter how mobile the striker is as there is no space at all. And at that point you have to change something. Gayle - Mitro - Ritchie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm not Mitro's biggest fan but why Daryl fucking Murphy is getting gametime ahead of him I'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If Rafa 'doesn't rate Mitro' or trust him or whatever, I can understand, sort of. However, buying Daryl Murphy and then selling Mitro significantly weakens our team, which is madness. Murphy as a backup player to Mitro is fine, but it is insanse if we sell Mitro and keep Murphy.

Therefore, even buying Wilson we'd still be weakening our squad. No point chopping and changing Wilson and Gayle if teams have quite clearly worked out how to play against us and we have no alternative but to play in that way.

Price is irrelevant, we need a squad. Mitrovic isn't good enough and Rafa presumably wants to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
