Only one question tonight

[muggboots]

sorry lads (and lasses) , just signed up and going reply crazy. i think wickham was on a hiding to nothing against samba ,same as jones was in his time, he's dominated bigger and better players than him. the same would have happened with ji, i think it was a case of knock on the door for long enough, keep them occupied and use pace and fresh legs later in the game.

Loads to talk about after today's game but that can wait until tomorrow, my only question is..



Why when we can score spectacular goals but not poachers goals is it fine to play an 18 year old with 2 days light training but not to play a 20 year old natural goalscorer?

Bruce would not and now O'Neil wont, what am I missing?

If it was OK to ask Bruce the question then it must be OK to ask MON.

Yes, I wondered about young Mr Noble, there must be something managers and their staff see in training that decide against him, Ji came on instead and in addition a young left winger made an excellent debut, but it is curious about Noble. Rico just panicked at the chance in the 1st half would a natural goal scorer like Ryan have done so?

Can't understand how Ji gets the nod over Noble, doesn't matter about your size if you keep getting into the right positions as Noble does very well. The little fit guy should run rings around the big uns, especially when he keeps getting into the right areas in the 6 yard box. Not talking ariel balls here but into the feet and body, Don't think Samba could have lived with his pace, just my opinion though.

Sorry, put Noble on for Wickham so he is playing the lone striker? Dont think it would have worked, he would need to play alongside either Wickam or Ji.
