SikhInTrinity Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 He has played well, but you can see he has the odd clanger in him, even against Hull there was a long ball through the middle and he tried to nod it to backwards to our player instead of heading it back towards Brad. I think what he has added, he isn't nervous with playing the ball out, he never wastes the ball, doesn't bother launching it. Seems to organise the defence well too. However if he has to line up next to Clark or Baker, we are in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted September 2, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2014 Maybe the mods could do a poll for the nickname in this thread? I think I'd vote for either Bald Eagle or Senderlols, both are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smetrov Posted September 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2014 Respect to Lambert here....I really thought we should have got Lescott.......who hasn't kicked a ball for WBA...and yesterday jetted to USA to see a specialist...whilst big Phil has done not to badly....love his commitment as well 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ArteSuave Posted September 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2014 My West Brom mates when they signed '£22m' Lescott and we signed 'The Joke' Senderos. Me after 2 wins for us, 0 wins for them, Senderos is on fire and Lescott is a sicknote. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 3, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's been a good illustration of the fact that a back four is a team, a unit in itself. You have to get the right combination of players that will work well together. Arsenal's classic Dixon-Adams-Bould-Winterburn is a good example. Great individual players? Not especially. But they gelled. Amazingly, Hutton-Vlaar-Senderos-Cissokho looks like it might do the same. But it's early days - the next five games will be the acid test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Like Miroslav J Mooney said, the next few games are the test for the 'solid' back line. Been very impressed so far but refusing to get too hard until these games are said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodigan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 more importantly when is cissokho going to get the program and shave his head, so that the skinheads will be a complete defensive unit??? great start from big phil - a leader where we desperately need one, and one that you feel will throw his body on the line all day long for the team.... great stuff - lets keep that attitude permeating through the team and we'll be just fine....

SeanO Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I have to say that I seriously got this one wrong, he's not perfect but he is far far better than the Senderdross that I was expecting. To The Bald Eagle I apologise for being a muppet , keep proving me wrong!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
