Of the two i would have brought Bradys Bunch on first. Very passionate likes to get stuck in, bit headless chicken but just what we needed. As for Sone..... kinell. Stop bringing him on Brucey. We lost to a mistake but some poor poor displays today.
What has happened to Aluko? Obviously he was always small and slight but I'm sure he used to be able to hold people off and stand up for himself on the ball. Since the injury, every time he gets the ball he just gets knocked off it at the slightest touch. He's so easy to deal with now. Where's his strength gone?
Koren would have been the worst possible player for a game like today. It's Quinn I feel sorry for. What does he have to do to get a game? Quinn and Meyler were our best midfielders last season. Early this season neither were playing but both did alright when they got a chance, Meyler got a run in the team and has really settled, but Quinn got injured and has never got back in, despite playing well every time he has had a chance. What's to say he can't do as well as Meyler has? Now I love Brucey but every time we have a midweek game he doesn't change it, we lose and then he says he considered changing it and regrets it now. But he never seems to learn from it the next time. We've got quality cover on the bench in the likes of Quinn. Use it ffs!
Quinn needs to find an end product. He can twist and turn and do step overs to his hearts content and defenders at this level will let him do it all day long safe in the knowledge the end result will be the square root of f**k all. Get Koren on.
I can't agree on that. I can't remember ever being disappointed with Quinny's end product. He got loads of assists last season from crosses and stuff. He doesn't score enough but his passing is good. Your description of his twisting, turning and step-overs was pretty good, that's exactly what I picture when I think of Quinn.
Quinniesta was easily our best player last season imo. He's deserved a better chance than he has had.
you can bang on all you like about Quinn or Koren but bloody stupid loopy aimless passes across the park don't help.. should have had a point
People really need to cut Aluko some slack. Yes he hasn't hit the level we know he can do since he has come back but we need to remember that he has pretty much been out injured a whole year (a couple of appearances early in the season aside). He was never going to come straight back into his best form. We know the player he can be and given time im sure he will get back to that level
This thread is still relevant. WTF Brucey. I cant state how highly i rate Aluko but ****ing hell. He's a waste of a shirt. Has Quinny pissed you off or summat Brucey??
his talent's not going to just disappear we need him for the Cup maybe Sagbo will be banned so Super Matt & Sone are potentially the only strikers..
Aluko needs the game time to get back to his best. If we leave him sitting on the bench how is he going to recapture his form? At a time he's vital to us nonetheless with the FA cup.
Get Koren on. Oh hang on he did and he did the job asked of him. We retain possession far better when Koren is on the park. IMO.
We should just sack off Aluko this season. Let him get a good pre season under his belt and he'll be back on form imo.
Koren should start. Rosey performs equally well on the left, Fogueroa is a headcase. Koren is a master class, he maybe slow and weak but Christ he can use the ball effectively. Go stript
I REALLY f**king hate that! he DESERVES a chance! what a f**king clueless statement! just because 1 player does well in 1 particular game, it doesnt mean that they will perform well in the next game! Each player has their own strengths and weaknesses and therefore the manager has to try and tailor his side's tactics to the opposing teams particular play.
