Fabrice Muamba

Apologies if already discussed but for me last nights game confirmed he MUST start every game. breaks up play and his energy and stamina is far better than anyone else's?

Its quite unbelievable he has been left out of the team so many times this season, if anyone watched the Man U V basle game Basle had a player similar to Muamba who had a blinder and was instrumental in Basle knocking them out.

un sung hero for me, covers the miles, breaks up play,strong and a great team player, ok his passing is poor but he's not there to create is he?

Football is not all about what you do with the ball

 

Although I thought he was actually quite composed with it last night, his game is doing the dirty stuff.

exactly! Im told from my sources thats the exact reason why Gael Kakuta wont get a game until he changes his attitude on the matter. Biggest thing Wilshere said he learnt from us when he returned to Arsenal.

My sources? Did you really type that?

yup I believe ones red and the other is brown

Totally agree

The lad isn't the most talented footballer yet he is so effective.

 

First name on the teamsheet for me.

Been a big fan of his since we signed him.

 

Everyone got a little too carried away because he wasn't a great passer and couldn't shoot.

 

For a team that doesn't have a great deal of possession at times you need a player like him to win the ball back. Looking solid with Reo-Coker.

 

Also amazed that he has been left out of so many games.

Can't pass wind that boy but does an excellent job of getting the boot in and protecting our comical defence. Absolute first choice for me, and i have to wonder what he has done to be ignored for most of the season.

Muamba is pub league standard when he has the football.I'm not joking, Rochdale have two central midfield players who have more talent with the football.They aren't physical enough for our level.At home when the emphasis is on us to break teams down Muamba isn't good enough, hence the awful home results.He isn't the only one not good enough but still..

In our 5-0 kicking of stoke Muamba was the driving force of the team

Get to fuck

That was a one off we have been shocking at home, and his finishing was pathetic in that match.If it had been 0-0 rather than 5-0 when he miscontrolled when straight through with the keeper to beat the reaction from the crowd wouldn't have been ":lol:, that's Fabrice"

so when he played for the under 21's ?? coming through Arsenals youth team...

 

clearly pub standard...

Pub league.

Fuck me there's some shite spouted on this forum at times.

If we get relegated will some of the fans who obviously don't have a bleeding clue about football piss off back from whence they came?

He's only played three home games this season, against Everton, City and Stoke.

 

And teams hardly come to the Reebok to shut up shop, do they?

 

I'm not sure the numbers support your horseshit.

+1 for that

Muamba is pub league standard

 

Butterfly, you are a cabbage white.

I'm not biting.

muamba played in our home games last year when our record was very good

 

butterfly is owen coyle

and possibly has issues with directional control

 

 

muambas passing on tuesday was very good, too

 

went off a little towards the end, but i reckon him and coker were shagged

When Muamba played for the England U21 his job was to sit in front of the defence and break down the play, then a short pass to one of the play makers in the team. If we started him every week and gave him the same roll! I rate him and think he gets to much stick.

What was that Jimmy & his magic boots song that we sang at Burnden about Phillips?

 

Anyhow, Muamba..... holding midfielder.

 

Job description.... holding player in front back four, to break up opposition attacks, defend against strikers who like to drop in the hole, generally tackle & harry etc, etc.

 

Not job description.... shooting & Cruffesque passing.

 

Let him stick at what he does well, if he wants to improve in other areas... fine, but stick to his job title first & foremost.

 

Round pegs, round holes.

 

I thank you, end of thread, move on.
