Mccann And Speed

Featured Replies

the rumours are that these two were to differing degrees involved in the unrest behind the scenes.

 

based on last nights performance neither of them are good enough to play in the first team.

 

speed has been a great servent to clubs in the premier league but he is past it. mccann is just plain shite.

 

we will never win a game in the premier league with those two playing together in central midfield...

From what I have heard and read about Megson's typical team selection and playing style at his previous clubs - I expect the two players you mention to feature heavily.

Couldn't believe my eyes last night to see Guthrie taken off; Speed had an awful game and McCann is stealing a living

speed should be kept at the club for his experience but shouldn't be a regular starter

 

mccann is just proving to be poor why archie took guthrie off and not McCann i'll never know

Our midfield last night was embarrassing they were so short on creativity it was excruiciating at times.

 

Alonso or CAMPO (lsl dig sorry) can at least pick a pass and create summert

There's a few in that squad that need their P45 !!

 

McCann

Cid

Hunt

Alonso came as a cultured passing creative player, SO FAR ive seen non of this

CID!!! Im sorry but FFS!!!

The one thing I can say about CID, is that he makes a better left back than central defender.

 

 

Did FSA really sign CID expecting he would still be at the club as manager when CID arrived?

Heavily is a very apt word.

early in the first half nicky hunt linked up with the forwards and found himself upfront on the right wing, no one supported him, he played a ball that anelka would have had to move about a yard and a half for, anelka was moving the other away, a simple understanding as much the elks fault as nicky hunts but hunt gets booed and slagged off.

 

why play cid as left back and ricky upfront surely after so long out ricky needs games in his best position ?

 

oh and btw if henric had the ball 40 yards out and tired to chip a dwarf in goal and the ball did nt get above chest height he would have been slaughtered.

aye, twas mentioned

Megson won't drop Speed, in case he goes crying to Gartside again.

 

 

Speed, McCann and to be honest Gardner were garbage last night, every time the ball went to Anelka, there wasn't a bolton player in sight. Speed and McCann need to be dropped, but it won't happen.

 

Great save from Jussi though, one handed

if theres one thing about the appointment of megson i understand, its that him and gartside are friendly and think they can work together

 

i can't see any more backing the players against the manager, which seems to have happened with lee

A friendly bet then...I bet Speed plays sunday.....shall we say a couple of pints?

to defensive midfielders (mccann & speed) at home was a bit worrying

 

cid....awful

 

hunt ... poor

 

gardner ....crap

 

guthrie...must have shown to much skill , made rest of the team look poor

 

anelka... no service and shoulders dropped late on

 

diouf ...awesome

I think the bloke has been quality for us since he's been here and I hate to say it but I'm also of the opinion that Speed's not the force he once was - maybe he should start tough away games where we need to consolidate and not concede early on, or be used as a sub to help the midfield protect a lead but he's no longer a 90 minute player IMO.

 

I think the fact he played last night will mean he's not starting on Sunday.

 

But then again we have a diff manager for then...

 

McCann and Alonso are just not quite there - probably both Championship standard for me.

 

Central midfield is a worry; the ideal situation would be Nolan there, but back on form.

 

And whilst he's still a liability for me, I'd play Campo at the moment - which is a big change of mind from me from a few weeks ago when folk were clambering for him and I hold my hands up to that.

i thought he was pretty good last night?

Cid did ok last night.

 

McCann was awful yet again. All he does is foul and give free kicks away. There was a reason why he wasn't getting in the Villa second team.

 

We all know that Nolan can not be dropped. He will cry and cause unrest if he is. Made me laugh on the commentary last night.

 

"Why on earth is Kevin Nolan not playing. If Bolton don't want him, there will be a whole host of top clubs willing to snap him up"

 

Start the que then please

you mention commentary to get a reaction.

 

poor very poor.

 

you need to read the writings of our more establsihed fishermen.

Morning Samhater...

As it happens there is a que developing for you...

with a variety of weppons

Alonso came as a cultured passing creative player, SO FAR ive seen non of this

 

No he didn't, he came as a box to box battler.

For me it was the right decision to bring Guthrie off. He was hitting some wayward passes and running into blind alleys.

That decision was justified as we scored shortly after. That is a fact you cannot argue with.
