sicsfingeredmong Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Re: Parker's mid-season injury. During the aforementioned period Butt asserted his authority as the team's anchor in midfield, when he wasn't hampered by Parker's neigbouring presence alongside. This same period saw a brief rebirth of the transitional passing game, which resulted in a phase of consistent productivity in the attacking 1/3. We looked a fluent 2-3 goal team in the process. At the time i predicted something along the lines of : "A Butt-led midfield would result in us finishing top 6" and "A Parker-led midfield would lead us into a relegation scrap down the stretch" A five point finish ahead of the bottom 3 in the end. We were fortunate in that we already had the runs on the board thanks to the already mentioned mid-season period, because either side of Parker's injury we resembled a relegation side in terms of pattern play and the formline reflected this.

A perfect example of Roeders inability as a Manager. If we can see this, then he should have been able to and his reluctance to drop Parker, has ultimately cost him his job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Same as above. Parker was a victim of Roeders inability to tactically use his attributes in the best fashion. Even Souness managed that ffs. Parker is a defensive midfielder in my eyes and should be trained alongside Butt to show how it is done properly. Hopefully this will be job number two for big sam after he sorts out our defence.
