Blueherts Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 If we had a decent striker and a left back we would be tearing them apart today. We look so much stronger with a single DM on the pitch. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willing player, lots of energy, bad first touch, passing and decision making, finishing is hit and miss shall we say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Get a decent striker and we've got a team in the making, impressed with all the performances so far just need that clinical finisher, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Martinez uses the ball like it's a ball of glass and there is a barrier between him and the ball.soooooooooo slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Good first half that. Just need a bit more finesse with our final balls and play around their area. Really want these lads to have a blinder today to force Sams hand into playing more attacking line ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Vlasic has Velcro feet and a lot of strength. I’d love to see him given a run of 8-10 games not a bad half, but very sloppy at the crucial moments. If we can tidy that up, we’ll be a threat London Blue, JoeQuince and pete0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 All things considered I think that is our best half of football under Allardyce. If we had a decent striker that was capable of getting across the front man we might have had a couple more shots at goal too. I think it' safe to say that if we want to see the best of either Schneiderlin or Gueye then they need to be playing with Rooney and Davies.

Bailey Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 7 minutes ago, markjazzbassist said: His movement has been good today but first touch and linkup has been bad. I think his movement have been crap. He has been running into Bolasie's channels and then when the ball is in the box he hasn' even tried to get across the front man. He is working hard and trying to make something happen but he is simply moving around the pitch rather than being clever with his movement.

London Blue Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 When we play this formation with two wingers, and play Davies, whose attacking energy makes such a difference we look like a proper football team again. If we had a proper left back and striker we would be well in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 18 minutes ago, Palfy said: Let everyone be honest there's no way you would ever see Gana in the area in a season as we've seen Davies in this game, do we miss Gana do we fuck he holds us back. Spot on. The real question is whether Gana would do a better job than Schneiderlin in this side because they should both only be playing in that role and not anywhere else in midfield.

It’s the first time he’s had an actual winger in front of him, think his instinct to attack just needs curbing after having had to for the last several games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean more when someone else has the ball he is pulling defenders away from bolasie. He also pulled them away when Davies and vlasic were doing some intricit work inn the box.

Palfy Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 9 minutes ago, TallPaul1878 said: Cuco has done okay. He's a right back playing out of position and by God that lad does not have a left foot. He hasn't once pushed it up the line to race past his man and put a cross in. Hell just win a throw in if you have to. That's why I've been saying we need a left footed full back in the side. Go out and snatch Montpellier's Jerome Roussillon tomorrow. Bolasie has been the stand out player. He's tormented their defence and it shows that we've missed someone with a bit of pace and strength to change the flow of the game. Bailey has answered that really Niasse was going into the left channel for what reason only he knows and getting in the way of Bolasi and Cuco.
