Felling Mag Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Has to be Mitrovic on to hold it up and buy us some time for a rest. Yep - he has to come on. Cissé is tragic when trying to hold the ball up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 A couple of things: We've been trying to double up on Montero, the lad is just playing very well at the moment. Swansea's pace and movement is causing us all kind of problems. The whole back line is a car crash, I'm hoping McClaren can get them working as more of a unit over the coming weeks. For me it's irrelevant if Janmaat's first yellow was soft, the fact he's committed said challange on a yellow card is brainless at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Can't fault McClaren for Janmaat being a f***ing idiot imo. Silly second yellow to take! Janmaat had a few niggly tackles before the sending off, it always looked likely that he was going to walk at some point and McClaren should have seen that. What's McClaren meant to do, like? Sub him? Righto. Not a manager in the league would've done that. I know I'm taking the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 More concerned with us being second to every ball from the off and seemingly unable to press cohesively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Aye Mitrovic should have started as well, i know Cisse is a better finisher and scored against Southampton but in this game we really needed someone to hold the ball up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Has to be Mitrovic on to hold it up and buy us some time for a rest. Good idea. Likes a fight although he might end up getting sent off as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janmaat had a few niggly tackles before the sending off, it always looked likely that he was going to walk at some point and McClaren should have seen that. What's McClaren meant to do, like?

You can't blame McClaren for how stupid Janmaat's been there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Cisse is unbearable man. Just as annoyed with him as I am Janmaat. His play is completely unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt stopping McClaren taking Janmaat off before HT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Don't think I saw it. It just feels (although I know fans of every club think this) that countless times I've seen an opposition player on a yellow do something like that and be given another chance. The contact was minimal for his first card. I think it'll go down as 'persistent fouling'. I had persistent Barry Horne persistently in my ear persistently wanting him booked and sent off, so he'll be happier now. What has he got against us btw? Schteve should have seen it coming as we all did. Little Vurn's going to have his hands full second half if he gets put there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Arsenal and Man Utd our next two matches after this- could be looking like a poor start. Only 3 first team signings will be brought back into focus, and rightly so, should we end up with 1 point from our first 4 matches. I'm not going to jump on McLaren's back, but playing Obertan ahead of Perez is very questionable (I don't care about his assist last week). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Unless Cisse is supposed to be picking up the ball from inside his half and doing a Weah I'm struggling to see what more he can be doing. He's showing when he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 And done what? Subbed him, is that difficult to work out? Aye sub a Dutch international after 30 minutes of a match because you don't trust him to get to half time. Top notch man management that would have been.
