Dave Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I did feel sorry for him tonight despite my critisism of him in the past; should have had the ball on numerous occasions when he was completely free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 He doesn't get the ball because we don't have a fully fit midfielder capable of spotting and playing quick balls on the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If we'd given him the ball and then had a forward attack the near post when he crossed i reckon he'd have had a couple of assists last night. Martins in particular is Duff-blind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martins in particular is Duff-blind. Aye, me and my dad were in the East stand and Duff was standing just in front of us with no one in about 15 yards of him and Martins just dribbled into a wall of defenders and lost posession. Duff went aboslutely bonkers. Terrible service yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Honestly thought at one point last night that Duff and Martins must have fallen out because there were a couple of occasions he had soo much space and Martins would either try and do it himself or pass to Sib when he was covered by defenders. Don't really think they have fallen out but it was odd! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Last night ,DD looked a quality player again,indeed we looked quality again full stop.TBH, i think now we have pace on both flanks and up front,we can do something big in the UEFA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 When he got the ball he did look a little more like the old Duffer, hopefully he can get back to his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 one thing i noticed from the "boro game last weekend was how idolated charlie looked left wing compared to milner on the right it seemed to me that the whole team was looking to move the ball right simply 'cause solano is comfortable in possession and taylor is not in the FB role....also taylor was reluctant to make overlapping forward runs so charlie was up against 2 men the whole time, noone making runs and moving people out of position for him DD must be a victim of this to a degree...if we had a competent, fit, left-footed left-back who was looking to take the ball then it would open up space and opportunity for out left winger this lack of FB's just can not be allowed to continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 He's been disappointing because his fitness is poor, or rather his conditioning is, and because he's lost his form - injuries haven't helped either. I doubt he'll recover and get back to the level he was at with Blackburn and Chelsea myself like but that's just me. He played well last night though, tactically especially, helping Carr out down that left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greydos Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Laurent Robert always used to cry about the same problem too, not seeing enough of the ball. Having right-footed centre midfielders means they carry the ball on their right side, and so are usually playing with their heads up to the right wing, back to the left wing. That's why emre finds it easier to get duff more involved in the game, for a right footer to play it left you need more time, space on the ball. Don't know why Martins doesn't play it to duff though. If i had to guess i'd say it's because whenever he gets the ball the karate kid theme tune blazes loudly in his mind ("you're the best, around!!) an he goes on a mad one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emre would help Duff simply because he has the best vision/passing out of all of our central players, not just because he's left-footed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
