MC11 Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 6 minutes ago, dunlopp9987 said: Thought Allan was pretty effective after coming on, Gomes looked positive until he picked up his yellow, and Doucoure has talent he's just fallen off a bit as of late. To say there's absolutely no quality is pretty ludicrous. There's just no depth. Hoping Onyango can continue to show quality Doucoure for all his running and energy can’t pass a ball absolutely dreadful. Gomes is like a ballet dancer in there, too lightweight. Allan I like but legs gone. Now take McGinn from Villa. That’s a proper player. Clever, aggressive and hungry he stuck it right on us from the start and we shit. We are so weak in the middle of the park it’s ludicrous you think otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we need to upgrade the midfield substantially in the summer. I was debating your statement of "absolutely no quality in the midfield." That's simply not true.

Bailey Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I thought our midfield held up well against Villa's for energy and workrate but it just lacks quality on the ball. I think you need that 3rd player with the quality to get on the ball and do something with the likes of Allan and Doucoure behind doing their thing.

StevO Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 We need more. Don’t know who can give it to us, but I don’t think it’s Duncan. The intensity in Gerrard’s team is so much more than ours. Their midfield shut us down in packs, they knew our play was to go down the wings and the midfield backed up the full backs. This isn’t world class players, this is being organised and putting a plan to action. We need that. Bailey and MC11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Another infernal international break. Maybe a good thing to get a new manager in place if that is the plan. Hope any players involved stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Has anyone watched enough of Derby to know if Rooney would add much more in terms of tactical nous compared to Ferguson? My worry is that it will be much the same in terms of effort and determination but we will still end up with the inability or plan to break teams down.

Ferguson should be nowhere another new management set up but I’ve accepted that he has a job for life here no matter what so I’m sure that whoever comes in will be lumbered with him, may as well be another blue I suppose.

They were just a whole lot more organised than us, they had a plan and it worked well. I don’t think either side would complain about a draw, but they took one of their chances and we never. But they looked like a decent side, I don’t think we were enough of a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 We played better when we had Doucoure and Alan in midfield, although we would be even better with a midfield 3 but then you have to leave Grey, Gordon or Richy out. Richy and DCL lack match fitness and sharpness, that will come with games, and with Grey, Gordon and Richy we have 3 attacking players who will create chances. We need a midfielder like Alan / Doucoure to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
