I I understand that and wasn't trying to argumentative, maybe there's an underlying racist element, that from an early age coaches put more trust in white players, leaders need help in developing their skill set, and if it's not offered it's less likely to happen.

Bailey Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 That is really interesting... I would understand it a little more with say African or Asian born players where the development of the game isnt as advanced as it is in Europe but to think it is still the case throughout Europe as well is more than a bit shocking. I would like to think that times are starting to change now though, especially as the more archaic football coaches are being replaced with younger and more qualified coaches.

pete0 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 9 hours ago, StevO said: I personally don’t think Keane is the weak link, I don’t think Mina is either to be fair. I’m happy for them both to play. But can you honestly see the manager dropping Keane? We hardly saw Mina and Zouma play together last season did we? Where do you see the weak link in defence? For me the full backs are caught out due to tactical reasons, although Coleman is struggling with the pace of the game now. But Keane is caught out because of his own shortcomings, he's slow and he's not particularly good at reading the play to make up for it, and worst of all he's weak. Don't think we saw Mina as he was new to the league and kept having knocks. Plus not many managers would play two lefties. Didn't want the quote to be massive but on the race issue I had a friend say similar about African footballers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Digne Mina Keane and Coleman. Not enough depth though. In open play I don’t worry about our defence at all really. I think we’re ok. We’ve become frail from corners again. I’ve never been a fan of zonal. For me you get your man and you stop him scoring. Everyone does that we don’t have a problem. Who are the lefties? Zouma is right footed, can’t say I’ve noticed what Mina is, he worries me on the ball regardless of which foot he uses. He looks like Crouch haha What did you friend say about African footballers?

Teams are targeting Keane. Can't remember his name but even the Aston villa striker bullied him. Thought Zouma was left footed with him always playing there. Begs the question why Silva never played him alongside Mina considering Keane was hardly setting the world alight. I agree he looks unorthodox but he gets the job done. Took people a while to appreciate Fellaini as he was awkward looking too. They don't read the game as well. Told him it was racist but then struggled to name many players myself. Only ones I could think of at the time were Okocha, Drogba and technically Zidane. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Keane's had it tough this season, but part of that is because he's been left to play two positions, Coleman has deserted his defensive duties and is cought upfield too often. The manager is also to blame for doing away with the Digne and Bernard attacking play on the left to try and produce the same on the right but its not working. Bernard back in, Iwobi replaces Sigurdson in the middle, Gambin and Gomes for Delph and Sneiderlin and we should be OK.

Rediculous that we've rushed him back, thought we had the old physio team, Donnahoe or Dominic something who was good from America. Mad how far behind we are in sport science compared to the US, more so considering their football is only a couple of minutes play per player compared to ours. US football that only move for about 15 minutes compared to 70 in football. Mad we don't do more to get them at 100%.

Romey 1878 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'm most gutted about this because I had been looking forward to seeing very little of Delph or Schneiderlin (particularly as a pair, but even partnering someone else was a horrible thought) because it really is a toss up to decide who is the most useless of the two. Now I've got to pray Gomes stays fit so that at least I'll only have to put up with one of them. Bill and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Morgan will stay as he seems to be such an arrogant player, albeit a very talented one, that he only plays well for managers he respects, and he respects Carlo. Theo will stay as he has pace.
