I was going to put Northampton however they did not build on the success and went straight through the leagues back to were they started. Watford didn't and still benefit from the legacy of Taylor
As John said, Davies is the least comfortable with the ball so if MS wants to pass it out from the back (split CB's and all that) then his place might be in jeopardy. Although he is the quickest as you say. It will be interesting when they're all fully fit (today's selection might be more to do with fitness). Going off on a tangent, I thought Huddlestone's performance on Tuesday was fantastic. His passing ability is second to none and I can see him playing in that position more often.
True, but I have a feeling MS likes players that can keep the ball, and Daws and Harry are better with the ball than Curtis. Anyhow as I said it will be interesting to see which way he goes.
I can't see Niasse starting. Would be big step straight from training with U23s without Silva having a good look at him. Hopefully Abel is fit and hungry I suppose as he knows Evandro of old that might increase his chance of featuring Interesting
i'm betting he does b noe of them are perfect - Curtis is a good defender but not that good at clearing with his head - Daws is a good defender but starting to slow up and age creeping up on him - Maguire is good running with the ball, almost like a tank crushing all pockets of resistance but really is too slow and his distribution is poor - the number of times he passed into touch or overhit the ball the other night was a shame but true
Jake Tom Sam or Rob will have to miss out to fit in Evandro. Those four plus Harry have been our best performers. Difficult choice for we've got Marco Silva
Tuesday night was a bit of an exception. Haz is usually very calm and assured with the ball but it was like a hot poatato to him. I wouldn't claim his distribution is poor based on one game, because the rest of his appearances suggest otherwise.
Niasse starts and we'll lose, if he doesn't we'll win 4-0. He hasn't even kicked a ball for us and I'm writing him off. Hopefully he'll be really **** and I can slag him off every week. Even if he does very little wrong I'll still say he's **** and that Dio is far better, even when he's not. We're halfway through the season and we need a new scapegoat the boo boys can get stuck into. It's what we're about.
According to MS he's the same as Dio. No better, no worse. So, you know, currently my whelm is below its default position. However, the slightly unhinged part of my brain has just come up with this scenario. 20 minutes in. City 3 nil up and cruising. First goal, a through ball from our new Brazilian playmaker, with pinpoint precision, that Our Man latches onto and buries into the bottom left hand corner with an unstoppable drive. Second goal, tenacious battling by our new Italian passported midfield maestro, ensures that Our Man, with years of cunning and guile, that can only be honed playing in the Russian league, skips fleet of foot, past a bamboozled Bournemouth defence, and delightfully chips a delicate ball, oozing technical accuracy into the top corner, just beyond the dispairing hand of a goalkeeper, who frankly Our Man had just made look a complete tool. Goal three: Our Portuguese engine room General is mercilessly hacked 40 yards out by an experienced Premier league professional who, quite frankly, has never been made to look this much of a fool before. Up steps Our Man. Snodgrass bows in awed recognition as he places the ball for him, then trots away. The crowd are silent, except for an expectant hum filled with pregnant anticipation. Our Man glides forward; the connection of foot to ball like the silky caress of a lothario's tongue on his lover's inner thigh. The future path of the ball is written, ineluctable and inevitable. Grown men in the crowd dissolve in tears as the realisation hits that truly Our Man is Waggo, Chilly, Large Billy and Andrew Painton all rolled into one. As he runs towards the bench, Our Man peels off his shirt, whilst simultaneously kissing the badge, to reveal a T-shirt beneath, which simply reads 'that, you bunch of toffee chewing, Scouse ****s, is what I can do, so ****ing weep at night now forever, because I'm doing it for the Mighty Tigers, and not you, so **** off!' What? It could happen.
Not sure it matters who we have in midfield or up front TBH. Our attempts at marking people from crosses will be our undoing.
If it did I'd just come on here and point out that the font used on his t shirt was all wrong and that he also mis placed a pass in the 88th minute. I'd then demand he was dropped and that Dio replace him for the next game. Our Man can do one. He's useless. Hat trick or not, he can't fool Carmine.
if we're doing 442, get Daws and Davies back together with Harry at right back. He's that good (according to some on here) he could play anywhere.
