Ye the way e took ten minutes to trap a ball and get a weak shot off... Over a season your CM's win you games. They drive the team on. Attacking and defending. Him and Jake have a piss poor 1 goal apiece i think. O is it 2 to Jake? Not good enough. Your CM drag you over the line. Nullifying threats, directing team mates, influencing the refs, taking necessary bookings. Look at the way their player spun away from Hudd to dink the through ball for Elmo. Weak as.
Tom was involved in everything good we did. If you thought he was weak yesterday you watched a different game to me.
Did we win? Did Hudd play? When he plays we dont win many. Thats a fact. Our best run of wins have been when he doesnt play.
We can agree to disagree. But as i said your CM's win you championships. Think Joey Barton at Burnley. I'l post a thread later on it but have a look at it CI Top's stats are pretty damning
on this I totally agree with you - unfortunately Bruce has never signed anyone that is anywhere near good enough to fill these positions
Huddlestone was good, as usual the problem was the **** in front of him with the movement of the statue of liberty... we finally looked dangerous after the late changes and with 2 up front, but what is he supposed to do when he gets the ball looks up and sees diame stood there with his hands on his hips? if somebody spun and made a run behind hed pick them out,...people says he slows the tempo when in fact he keeps it simple to keep the ball because the only other option is to hoof it to nobody and people would complain about that even more!
Maguire's body position was wrong on his own goal, mitigating circumstance may be that he was stretching and therefore, the ball had passed 90 degrees from his right shoulder. he's a good, young player and he'll learn I'm not voting as only saw the highlights McGregor's reflex save at 0-1 down was key
Spot on. ELMO cost us the win. FACT. He was shocking for both goals conceded. We would have won with Odubajo in the team. 3-5-2 was not the problem Elmo was. 1) Huddlestone 2) Maguire 3) Livermore
