DCJonah Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I thought delph played well. Offers something else, we don't need two similar players next to each other. Westwood and Sanchez are both good at the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Offers something else? Like gifting the ball to the opposition? I'd rather have Sanchez would don't do that often ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I didn't say drop Sanchez. He is able to drive with the ball past players and today created as many good chances as Westwood. Delph and Sanchez is a good midfield 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Delph doesn't want to be here. I'd rather play people who want to be here. Not sure what happened with my last sentence up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, and there is that part of me that thinks the same. I didn't say drop Sanchez. He is able to drive with the ball past players and today created as many good chances as Westwood. Delph and Sanchez is a good midfield 2. I'm not sure its the best combination when playing an AM and wingers personally. Haha I wonder if we will ever agree on something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretly I agree with everything you say, I just do it deliberately. I just think that when you play an AM you need to have at least one holding midfielder who can link the play from defence to attack (Westwood) and one ball winner (Sanchez). Another plus point is Sanchez can drive forward as well. I like Delph but I doubt he'll be here much longer and he is probably better suited to playing in a 4-3-3.

DCJonah Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I knew it!!! I can see that thinking, I just think delph is a top player and is an important part of our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Westwood is similar to KEA. He is almost good enough for the premier league. --------Sanchez------- Delph---------- --------------------Gil--------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Our best spell was when Westwood and Cleverley went off.....coincidence? A midfield of Sanchez, Delph and Gil looks fine to me.Just need to replace Gabby and Weimann/Cleverley, oh and a manager who has the balls/nous to realize that.

He plays in defensive position but is not good at defending. Championship at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) He played good today and was unlucky to be substituted and I wouldn't be surprised if he was carrying an injury. He is the only midfielder we have that can play a through ball and his best position would be infront of Sanchez, he pushed up nicely a few times today and played some quality passes.

I'd argue that it was down to cleverley as there's been a pattern in the last few games where we've played better when cleverley has gone off.

Jay.P.A Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Played a quality through ball to Cleverley, who f'ed it up as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Gil plays better forward passes than Westwood, and Delph created more chances today than Westwood. He did play a lovely 1st time pass to Cleverley in the 1st half though, but for me he doesn't do that enough, he doesn't take enough chances, he is too safe.Looks for the safe position, the safe pass, no pressure, thats why he frustrates me.I don't think he is as good as some of you think, but i do think he is better than he generally shows.A good squad player for me.

dakid007 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Don't need him and Sanchez on when we're not creating enough chances as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz316 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Didn't I tell everyone Westwood would render Sanchez ineffective? That's happened. Imagine a team with Sanchez as the holding mid and gil in behind the strikers... Now stop imaging because Lambert won't contemplate anything that doesn't involve westy. He's key to everything we do you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Having Westwood and Cleverley in the same team every single week is lunacy. Especially with Sanchez in there who actually has the proper characteristics of a defensive midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
