Robertson looks a great signing but i can see the reason Bruce leaves him out at times, he is great going forward and for me he is going to be a top player how ever today he was at fault for there first goal been on the wrong side of hazard and in his last game he give the ball away for Manchester utds third goal, That can be the difference between winning and losing at this level. I would describe him has a very good player but in defence he still has a bit to learn
If David Meyler starts next game, then I will begin to think Bruce is becoming a bit disillusioned. He's been nothing but terrible all Season. Sloppy passes, no energy, stupid fouls, even that daft handball today against Chelsea. I'd put Ramirez back in. One more chance to prove himself in a more open game against Swansea, which I think will be an open game. Logically thinking that should suit Ramirez more perhaps? We'll see.
Both West Brom and Chelsea games, he did nothing but a light jog to places. Backwards, sidewards passes. No more charging into the box like he used to do, popping up with a few goals. What? Midfield?
to be fair chazz non of our midfielders play in their correct roles so you carnt say different position, Thudd & livermore deep/holding midfielders, Meyler right mid?. Thats the problem with our team the midfield is a car crash
with the players we've got meyler and quinn (putting my tin hat on) shouldnt be anywhere near the starting 11, unfortunatley the fact they lack the required ability but give 100% puts them close because thudd and jake are ****e at the min
Huddlestone I'll give you, though I thought he played well today before his ridiculous red. Jake on the other hand has probably been our best player over this terrible ruin if form, and hasn't let himself down at all.
I would go for this one for the home games, and maybe replace Brady with Meyler for away at Sunderland.
Wow do you think? I expect midfielders to put the odd tackle in and get upto or beyond our strikers. Sometimes if they get to halfway it's an achievement. Against teams like burnley and WBA we should have periods were tom and jake control the game and get us playing, unfortunately the want to play just in front of our back 4 and don't worry the opposition at all
Don't you think Livermore has played much better in recent weeks, despite the team's poor form? I'd have your team, but with him in for one of Meyler/Quinn. To those people who are picking Ramirez in the centre of a 4-4-2, that simply isn't going to happen. If he is picked, it'll either be in the hole or as one of a midfield trio in the 3-5-2.
