Couldn't be anyone else could it? Take a bow Catts, you were ****ing immense again. You Ki and Gardner deserve plaudits for that first half showing. It looked like the three of you had arranged that pressuring of the ball beforehand. Reminded me of the Chelsea game under Bruce, when it looked like the players had said **** it and ignored Bruce's tactics and just went for Chelsea. At the end of the match there was only one of you left standing and still chasing every ball including balls other players should have been chasing down. It showed that to close down you have to do it as a concerted effort by all concerned not just one player. The change in personnel left Catts chasing on his own. Larsson is not the answer no matter what the question is. Unless the question is "Who is a waste of a shirt?" We quite clearly need Fletcher back and to bring in another striker to cover for him when he is injured.
I think PDC cut his nose off to spite his face when he excluded him, i think he could have brought other players round to PDC's way of thinking if he had made a effort to get him on side
Strange one mate, Catts was just coming back from injury and the nonsense about numbers where PDC said the players sorted the numbers. Catts is of the same mentality as PDC 100% effort and heart on sleeve. If the stories are true about PDC having a go at Catts for the goal are right, I'm not surprised Catts would have been mad, as he was our best player that game too. JOS should have took his licks like a man as he has been **** for some time.
i think a midfield of Giacch Ki Larsson (only as a out and out winger mind!) cabral catts gives us width, fight, skill and options from the bench
hes been better than last season but i think he needs abit of a kick up the arse and to realise hes not undroppable maybe then he might really bust a gut and show the form he did at boro and early on at city also id like to see larsson wide right just in a effoert to get more early crosses in as we are abit predictable on the sides
Larsson is **** on the wing too. A winger that can't run? A winger that turns round and passes backwards? He was passed the ball in the clear in Man U's half, no pressure, instead of looking up and picking a pass forward he back passed into our half and put us under pressure as everyone was forward. He does this all the time. Larsson should be no where near the first team.
dont get me wrong im not sebs biggest fan but i dont think the young lads DMK and Mavrias are not going to benefit from being thrown in at this moment so hes the lesser of a good few evils for me. i like AJ when hes on his game he is a good winger but i think hes too comfortable in the 1st team atm as are a few others who seem undroppable *cough JOS cough*
Catts definitely for us very very good. For them I was torn between the young un who scored the goals or O'Shea and some reckoned he wouldn't throw it. Anyhow wasn't expecting anything today and true to form SAFC delivered, it's going to be **** of a long season and a **** of an uphill climb to stay in this league.
Giacc' for me was man of the match first half and the whole team imploded second half. The lack of belief is palpable.
Catts staying fit will be a major factor in us staying up if we do. Today he was again superb but I gave the MotM to Giacherinni. Thought he was a thorn in their side all game until he tired a bit in the last 10 mins. If he is given a free role behind the strikers, we will be a far better team in the coming months.
Catts was a class act. Added passing to his game too. A much slicker specimen. He's like a new signing.
I totally agree about Catts and Giacc, but I just wanted to add that I think Jack Colback looks better every game.
In the middle he was class, moved him in the 2nd half and like you say CT we went to bits. Catts not far behind in the MotM stakes tho.
