In that case you shouldn't have written "Phelan won't have known Weir personally, he didn't even sign for Man United until after Phelan had left." as it was wrong.
3 at the back, totally agree. We're going to have to go back to stopping conceding goals first and foremost. We are leaking like a sieve at present. With all due respect conceding 6 against Bournemouth is pretty embarrassing.
I suspect Clucas will play LB. hopefully we'll go to 5-3-2 and just keep it tight for a couple of games. Huddlestone can play in front of the back 3.
Which begs the question again, what the **** has happened. We've gone from a team united and looking like not scoring many but not shipping many (Man Utd, Leicester, pre season) to ineptitude in a matter of weeks. Theres an underlying problem we don't know about. Give me the 10 back and I'll be happy.
I think yesterday was a case of underestimating Bournemouth because they sound ****. On paper their squad doesn't look much better than most Championship clubs and I think a lot of teams make the same mistake. Howe has got them playing great football and we just didn't concentrate. At 1-1 we should have been able to go in at half time and rally, but the two quick goals put paid to that. It's a lesson to be learned for the upcoming games, we have to ensure that if we're going to be that awful away from home, we need to be tighter at home and I think Dawson's return will help that. A settled team would also benefit the lads. Marshall Snodgrass Harry Davies Dawson Robertson (if fit) Clucas Henriksen Mason Hernandez Mbokani (if fit, if not then Keane I guess). Or ---------------------------Marshall------------------ Elmo---------------Davies-------------Dawson----------Robertson/Tymon --------------------------------Clucas--------------------------------------- Snodgrass------------------------------------------------------Henriksen ---------------------------------Mason-------------------------------- Mbokani/Keane-------------------------------------------Hernandez
Snodgrass is no wing back. He offered no support to Elmo at all. Be even worse if he was there on his own.
He hasn't done anything wrong at all, but with the return of a recognised centre back and club captain, known for organising the team, it's more prudent to have Dawson in there. Especially given how disorganised we were yesterday.
Weirs through ball created the winning goal - he was no worse than most of the team that night and better than some - bet you didn't go to that one either
Well done a post without the B word. So Weir for RB then? Or was he put further forward when he made that pass?
http://www.not606.com/threads/stoke-city-v-hull-city.336366/page-17 "Anyone who said Weir isn't a right back was absolutely bang on..." "Our game improved a lot when Weir went into midfield and Elmo went to right back." hpe this helps. You go to a lot of games but youre obviously a clueless **** about football
you don't seem to have a clue whether someone's crap or not unless you read it on here - I wonder who told you Phelan and Huddlestone were crap, they've created a monster
So Weir was brilliant at RB then? Strange how he hasnt played him there then. Huddlestone is a great gifted player who does it in fits and spurts of form. Find me a post where i call him crap. He may have played crap ut he isnt crap. Your mate Phelan had him as sub. Why is that?
