  1. Is he a winger or a striker?

    Would love to know how that matches with the fact that he has resurrected Charles N'Zogbia's career and apparently fired him up to play decent football at last. Or does he not count as a "foreign" player for some reason? Not that I exactly believe that Sherwood prefers English players over foreign imports, but N'Zogbia has been playing in the PL for like 10 years, maybe Sherwood can't disregard that.
  3. I think Clark is that kind of player though Stevo, he is more the reckless type. It's like you are requesting him to be boxer when instead he is a MMA fighter. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. Had Clark the years of experience and the technical skill you have, he might be more formal in his tackles haha.
  4. Does anybody know if there is a video out there showing the 12 goals Gabby got a couple seasons ago? I need to jog my memory and see if I can make more sense of his current transition as a player. I thought he held and moved the ball well against Newcastle, but he isn't exhibiting the tenacity that is so central to his game. He used to get into way more goal scoring positions and run the channels and run straight on at defenders at times leaving them fat on their arse. That said, I hope he recovers from this dip in form and shows us that he has still got it in him.
  5. When you deal with the one of the best clubs in the world like us, you have to show a certain respect. Having said that it would take more than 10 million to take Vlaar off our hands, we know that clubs like United and Southampton have money to spend. Then again, if we sell him, who do we replace him with? Do we go for an established defender, maybe with similar attributes and style to Vlaar? Or do we go for a younger talented one that will lead for years to come? Vlaar is our captain, you look at him and you know that he lifts those around him, if he leaves, replacing him becomes the number one priority, we are no longer safe without him.
  6. He is a bit goofy but not bad for the price. Hopefully he turns out to be good for us.

    Hey mate, I'll help you out.
  8. Fixed. Haha sorry mate, I only put the question mark next to his name because I wasn't sure what position he'd be playing.
  9. In a way, I believe that it is our lack of attacking play that puts constant pressure on midfield and defence, we need to be able to play in the opponents half for longer periods of the game. Aside from a LB and maybe a loan for Barry, our attack should be the focus. I reckon we need to dish out on an attacking midfielder who can actually thrive in the biggest pitch in League (Hoolahan will be a good backup to this player). Also, we need a more direct and effective wide players that can play with the ball, get involved and put constant pressure on our opponents. I like Gabby and I like Weimann but I think they are limited in the roles they are playing and they have been found out. However, that is not to say that they are not useful, they are strikers at the end of the day and have had better displays when played there. GK: Guzan, Steer RB: Lowton, Bacuna CB: Vlaar, Okore, Clark, Baker (maybe another backup if funds are available) LB: New signing, Bennet, Luna DM: Barry, KEA CM: Delph, Westwood AM: New signing, Hoolahan, LW: New signing, Grealish? RW: New signing, Robinson, N'Zogbia? ST: Benteke, Kozak, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Bowery, Helenius
  10. In all honesty, I am reserving my judgement of Lambert (if he stays) once I see him get one or two quality attacking players. I want to see how we play with the ball at our feet during longer periods of possession. I have at times seen glimpses (and I am sure many of you have) of nice silky play and effective counter attacking football and I do wonder whether he can build upon that and sustain it. If Lambert gets the funds to bring in quality players and our playing style doesn't develop or results remain tediously inconsistent then maybe it will be time for him to go. However, I do feel that injuries to some of our more valuable players, the lack of investment and management issues have made his job hard and must hold some weight in our criticism of him.
  11. Wow, as if Lallanna is worth that much? I mean he is pretty good but that's a bit much don't you think?!
  12. I don't know if it's just me, but I think his age is often overlooked. The guy is 22 years old, playing in the most difficult league in the world and is maturing more and more every game. If he continues to develop the different aspects of his play he could turn out to be a very good CB in a few years time.
  13. It seems that our forward three of Gabby, Weimann and Benteke have started to click again, I wouldn't tamper with it at the moment.
  14. In all honesty we were playing Liverpool at Anfield and they needed the points. Holt came on and at least did something in a half where Liverpool scored two goals and had the majority of possession. I don't think anybody is saying that it was an inspiring debut, he had an ok game considering the circumstances and showed that he could at least link up with our players. We shouldn't judge him so early, and we should remember that he was bought as cover. Hopefully he can prove to be effective in the limited time that he is on the pitch, either as a sub or starting the odd game as a result of injury.
