  1. Obligatory youtube video. Awful music though.
  2. Cummings wouldnt make sense, hes out 6 weeks with an injury
  3. Guzan Lowton Vlaar Baker Stevens Sylla Westwood KEA Weimann N'Zog Benteke
  4. FFW ‏@FrenchFtWeekly Re: Yacouba Sylla: Big strong defensive mid. Consistent, likes a tackle. Made one app for the French U21's in 2011
  5. Went on youtube to find the obligatory vid, but only found a few interviews. Well and truly an unknown quantity.
  6. Suppose its better than nothing. Really won't matter if we played the same cocked 3-5-2 formation, but in something more conventional, we might stand a fighting chance.
  7. Seems that Sylla is a big DM with good control but might need time to adapt to the league. Very raw.
  8. Con, where do you get your stats from
  9. The point is that passing accuracy by itself is a meaningless stat. It's a descriptive stat, as useful as saying that someone scored a goal or an assist. There's no context or analysis of it so when Bannan has an 85% passing accuracy compared to Cabaye's 64% passing accuracy, it's absolutely stupid to say, "Well, Bannan is the better passer."
  10. You're being dense if you think that's all that means. Do you know a site that displays the passing charts?
  11. Pass accuracy is such a shit stat. Bannan accuracy vs: 85% Cabaye accuracy vs: 64% Obviously Bannan is better right? STATS
  12. I think he's obviously limited and very frustrating in terms of consistency, but he has a role to play. He's one of the few players that can hold up the ball well, get at the opponent with some pace, and track back as well. He's not a good footballer by any means, but it sure beats trotting out two wing backs.
  13. Half of our problems would be solved if we stopped playing this shit 5-x-x formation. It sucks. Its awful. It leaves our midfield bare and provides no cover on the flanks. It literally has no uses.
  14. My God, what are we trotting out there? Stupid **** 3-5-2 formation that never works and is shit all, shit all. Shit, shit, shit. **** me.
  15. It's not that Bannan doesn't hide from the ball, it's just that he doesn't work hard to get into space for it. Rarely do you see him making a run forward or dart around to lay it off to a defender. He sits in front of the back four and why would KEA want to pass it there? I'd get KEA back in the side just for a change of pace.
  16. 2 - 1 Newcastle. We go ahead in the first half but fail to hold on to the ball and crumble under multiple crosses and long balls.
  17. Hutton off to Mallorca confirmed by Mallorca twitter and Kendrick. So far in the window Hutton and Warnock out and that's all right?
  18. I think there's a player in there somewhere. He started off strong and confident, but got a little tentative in the games he played. A combination of --KEA-Westwood--Delph ------------CNZ------------- ------Benteke---Weimann That would be workable.
  19. Just as some people use cardigans to claim Bannan is shit, Con uses statistics to hide the fact that Bannan is shit. He's not the worst player on the team but this is his ceiling and that's what everyone knows. He's not going to get better. He is what he is, a tiny midfielder unable to tackle that can keep the game moving from side to side and that's it. Yippee dee doo Bannan.
  20. Could be that too, just haven't seen Bennet deployed out there yet. Went with the devil I knew.
  21. Going with the 3 CB crackpot formation again. Words can't express how much I hate this formation. Guess it's... Given ---Lichaj--Lowton---Vlaar--Clark--Bennett -------------Westwood--Delph---------------- --------------------CNZ--------------------------- -----------Weimann----Bent--------------------
  22. Given, Vlaar [c], Clark, Bent, Lowton, Westwood, Delph, N’Zogbia, Weimann, Bennett., Lichaj
  23. Don't know when Lambert's going to figure out you have to play him off the shoulder not on the wing. Waste of talent out there.
  24. Not a fan of the team. 4-2-3-1? Midfield going to get overrun again.
