Kept things ticking over when necessary and took up some really important defensive positions, subtly played quite well in an extremely crowded midfield.

My local boys (Atlanta United) picking up steam heading into the run-in, fiery win at Portland last night. Big win given their away record, especially vs Portland's home. Guzan was wobblier than usual in the first half but pulled out an absolutely brilliant reaction save on the line to stop a bullet header in the second, reminiscent of his best days here.

I was thinking we ought to try implementing our own spin on that setup if Marvelous proves himself the hard-tackling defensive mid we've been told he is. Marvelous wins the ball, Douglas distributes, SJM hustles box-to-box as always, Jack replaces one winger in a more free attacking role and drifts out wide or into the box as necessary (which he does anyway) as our Kaka. Feel like it would shore up our spine, take a little pressure off Jack to cover defensively and would likely also suit Jota, Hourihane and Lansbury better if/when they have to come in.
-
He must've heard a shout from somewhere, he was clearly letting that ball run for someone. Hardly put a foot wrong afterwards.
-
Feel like he needs to be deployed as a #10 just behind the forwards, not out wide.
-
Bad mistakes but ample time to recover, just no teeth, no sharpness in the final third. Only Trez and SJM looked like making anything happen, Luiz came into the game but was largely unsupported and had to go backwards/sideways more than I suspect he wants to. Defenders solid, couldn't do much about the goals. Really could've used better crossing from our fullbacks, bad, floated balls into Wesley time and again.
-
Trez off?
-
-
Need Trez on the ball more, just about the only one who looks like doing something.

I can't believe Lee Cattermole and Denilson are only 31. Seems like they've been around for an eternity. Out of that lot, though, I'd definitely take Sturridge on a pay-as-you-play.

We made it to 242 for Micah Richards. Went on for years, somehow.
-
Yellow Submarine would work much better for Tyrone Mings.

Ought to throw in a bid of a, let's say, "certain variety" for Almiron if we're hitting up that particular fire sale.
-
I can't believe nobody has brought up the quality of his man marxing yet.
-
I missed the second half, how the hell did we wind up losing?
-
Tried our best to undo everything last 15-20 minutes, our team still has incredibly poor movement and decision making, but **** it, we won and kept a clean sheet.

"Do well to win the ball, work it around, get into position to do something good, pass it back 20 yards, throw opportunity directly into trash bin", the game.
-
Why do these idiots keep blasting it?
-
If anything, that vid highlights just how bad our team is at putting away chances that should be nigh certain goals. :^/
-
Striker, central defender, physical defensive mid and a keeper, maybe go back in for Praet (though if we're still scraping the bottom at that point, I doubt he'd come), in roughly that order. Will be interesting to see what we do.
-
Well, if it's true, I'm excited, which is nice to feel in relation to Villa for once.
-
John Carew.

The Lescott signing made a type of sense at the time. Didn't expect him to be amazing, just solid and experienced, certainly didn't expect him to be so outright bad and unable to handle the fundamentals anymore. Needs to be out of the team ASAP.

Not so fast, m8.
