jonno_2004 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Our main outlet if not our only outlet, is Gabby on the break. Now we have two lumps up front, one being shoe-horned in as a MON favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshare Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Our main outlet if not our only outlet, is Gabby on the break. Now we have two lumps up front, one being shoe-horned in as a MON favourite. that was 18 months ago when we were playing a 4-5-1 now we have two big men to hold it up, two wingers and milner playing a free role in the middle of the pitch. carew and heskey are the best option to hit with long balls as an outlet rather than tring to get gabby round the back of a defence who wont move from the edge of their own penalty area for the entire game.

AndyClarke Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 What makes it worse is that regardless of Gabby's fitness we've got a 19 year old who can step up and do the job but doesn't get a look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, what are we going to do when we are sitting at the edge of our own area looking to hit teams on the break? Which we have been doing for the past 3-4 years let alone 18 months.

Step up and do the job? You don't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 He's done it whenever called upon so yes I do know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 13, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2010 Draw today with the team we have picked, Spurs just won, that'll be it. I think that would be a bit of an over reaction, for me Spurs fixture mean they are still some way from being favourites in this race. I think City are the big threat. A draw today will keep us in the race, a win will really put us in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Draw today with the team we have picked, Spurs just won, that'll be it. What will be it? We have games in hand on Spurs who will drop points as well. Can't understand that comment at all. Anyway I sort of understand the selection if Gabby isn't 100%. I honestly believe if Carew is firing we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Could be a masterstroke, using Gabby in the last 20mins or so when legs are tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 He's done it whenever called upon so yes I do know that. That doesn't mean you know he can do a job in the prem and score goals to help a team finish 4th. If he really could improve us why would MON not want to play him?
