    Im in bits at some of these names - how many would anybody actually want off this list?? John rooney, hahaha. Dear lord. Nuno Gomes must have ten years on me and I'm 30

  3. You on drugs?

     

     

    Where is an ounce of creative / attacking ability in Muamba, McCann, Cohan and Basham?

     

     

    Nail on the head yatesy.

     

    I dont think we're that bad of a side going fwd (up top and out wide). We're just woefully short in the middle of the pitch and at the back. Defenders and majority of the centre mids we've got are not up to it.

  4. Ooh, SKD at centre back. That'd be controversial! That said, he's often the second best defender on the pitch after Cahill!

     

    could he be worse than knight?

     

    we've got grater issues/problems than taylor. Like having awful full backs, like having an awful centre back partner for cahill (whoever plays), like having a central midfielder(s) who dont protect the back 4 properly.

     

    I also agree with the poster who said our players r static - the movement off the ball is non existant at times

  5. Looking forward to tomorrow now =D> COYW!! i predict a 2-2 draw...Klasnic and Elmander with a last minute equalizer!!

    Owen Coyle's Super White Army =D>

    Burnley is the important game, a must win in my eyes with only having 8 home games left (5 maybe 6 wins needed from those - i dont see us getting many away wins - and we've villa and man u to go)

  6. Cohen's bagged a few this season (perhaps not for a while) as have CYL and Taylor.

     

    you can't have all you midfield off trying to score goals, even free flowing football masters Arsenal have a Song/Denilson/Diaby type sat as a midfield spoiler

     

     

    The problem is our spoilers dont spoil very well................

  7. Steinson was bad I agree but Matty Taylor was dire from start to finish - his mistake that led to their first goal as well

     

    He needs a rest and Gardner should get his chance back at his best position

     

     

    Theres a simple answer in my view - bring Garnder in and move Taylor to left back. They should be able interchange/swap if required as both can play either roles. That way we also get to drop robinson, who is god awful, and dont have to bring in Samuel who lets face it isnt great either. That way as well you still have taylor on for set pieces. Its impossible for him to be any worse at LB than the other 2. He has played their in his career 2, he wasnt always a left midfielder

     

    We are the first team in over 30 years to go half a season without a clean sheet, the reason being that nearly everyone of our defenders isnt up to it. All four full backs - Steinsson, Ricketts, Robinson, Samuel - not good enough. O brien, shittu, knight- not good enough. We're going to be fighting to scrape 38-43 points every season with these calibre of defenders. Does anyone else notice the amount of space stenisson gives the winger - he never seems to mark close when theres a free kick on other side, cue ball being switched loads of space for winger to run at steinsson and danger. Happens nearly every game.

     

    As for the midfielders, the centre offer little protection either to the defence either. Time and time again opposing midfieldes just drive through our midfield like a knife through butter. I was one for giving muamba a chance at the start of the season, hes had more bad games than good though in my view (at home, i havent been to any aways yet though going to anfield next week). Numerous times hes out of the position. He does well when he purely man marks a player - ie Gerrard both seasons i thought he marked well, especially this season the 1st half - followed him everywhere and you could see gerrard getting annoyed. The red card gave gerrard more space. When hes got no set role, hes not good enough. Awful touch and distribution. Mccann isnt the answer, too slow, past it. Awful - he shouldnt be near the pitch. Cohen has won the ball a fair bit in many games, can certainly put his foot in. I would play him in the deeper and introduce either Mark Davies or Gardner (if Coyle doesnt like the idea of moving Taylor to left back) as well. Put the priority would be to get in a decent centre midfielder.

     

    My team

     

    Jaaskelainen

    Steinsson

    Cahill

    Knight

    Taylor

     

    Cohen

    M Davies

    Chung Young

    Gardner

     

    Davies

    Klasnic

     

    A new centre half, centre midfielder the priority in my eyes. Also a better right back, sell either ricketts or steinsson and get some1 different in.
