VillaGoMarching Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thought he acquitted himself well today. Will to move the ball forward into dangerous areas. And I felt that we had our best spell with him in the middle with Clark. I wouldn't have picked that pairing for a derby in a million years but proved Houlliers faith right. If were skint I don't mind if we produce kids like Albrighton, Clark and Bannan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b26villan Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 i agree with vgm ithink bannan did well and clark was very good but we missed albrigthton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerHQ Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Must admitted I was amazed when we brought him on and played him in central midfield. Did alright in fairness. Reminds me of Maloney a bit in terms of stature and the way he plays. Still not sure whether he'll make it here but seems GH rates him so he'll get plenty of chances to prove his worth.

Mantis Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I like this guy. Apparently he didn't have a good game on Wednesday but I think he certainly played well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 i will be honest i think we got too many youngesters around the squad at the moment and i dont think if we aim for higher expectations like cl in the next few years we need better quality. i think they may do well for us in the next few years but i want more established players to rely on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Mike Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 i will be honest i think we got too many youngesters around the squad at the moment and i dont think if we aim for higher expectations like cl in the next few years we need better quality. i think they may do well for us in the next few years but i want more established players to rely on Huh??? They have been our best players really. I think a couple of our established players are heading in the wrong direction right now and others (Sidwell) were never there in the first place. I hope Albrighton and company continue to get playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 maybe so texas mike but in the long run i think if you want midtable then go ahead and use the youngsters more. i mean to me we shouldnt be using more than one at a time i mean we played clark and bannan as our cms against blosers for last stages of the game. imagine if we was playing arsenal, we would get destroyed we certainly need these youngsters in the next few seasons. but to begin with we have to flog the shit like sidwell, beye and id even say heskey because we need a forward who can actually score goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies4England Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Bannan just reminds me of Maloney in terms of build, height etc. The good news for us is that he has the work rate that Maloney never had Thought he was impressive when he came on today, ball stuck to his feet.

Ponky Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 If they turn out to be good enough what does it matter about their age. In the end you will not know if they are good enough until you give them games. One thing I like about Houllier is that he will not die wondering. By the end of the season we should know all there is to know about the Premier League futures of several of those players. Some will have a future with us some won't. At this stage it's not like there is a myriad of quality established players being kept out of the team by them is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harchester Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 A highly talented lad, maybe the next Beckham? As Albrighton commented, Barry is probably the best player at the club technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 1, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2010 If they turn out to be good enough what does it matter about their age. In the end you will not know if they are good enough until you give them games. I think what Demitri is saying; and I agree with him; is that even with players of huge ability it is important not to use them all at the same time. They need to learn the game alongside an experienced peer. They need to be surrounded by experience. You can put someone like Clark or Bannan into a full strength team or even into separate (different) areas of the pitch as long as their immediate team-mates are experienced, but you risk an awful lot by putting 2 very inexperienced players alongside each other in the engine room of the team. Even Wenger doesn't do that with the likes of Wilshere. There's always experience alongside them. Plus, having a rookie beside a rookie means they're not learning anything of value other than maybe to handle the pressure of the occasion rather than learning any footballing/tactical skills. So to sum up, yes if they're good enough use them - I've been shouting about Clark & Albrighton for long enough now - but the side's cohesion quickly deteriorates if you use too many (see Europa League performances as an example).

Zatman Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 He looked good yesterday and most importantly he was hungry as well and up for the game. THought we played better when he replaced Sidewell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
