Walters is trying hard but shouldnt be there, Ethers is playing poorly like he always does when he's had a recent injury, Whitehead looks knackered, and Delap is never the same player when he's been out injured either!
Palacios and Pennant anyone???

Being positive though with the right selection it could be
Pennant Palacios Wilson Ethers
is it me or would that be a better option?

Whitehead, Delap and Walters are just poor
We can probably carry one but not all 3

The midfield just doesnt work when Delap & whitehead play together, It never has. I dont think either of them are soley to blame just dont play them together

Yeah, I'd like to see Wilson get a chance in CM too.
He can do defensive work and he can control and pass. Palacios is looking like a massive step up for our CM too, but we've only seen glimpses.

I havent seen anything that makes me think wilson is a central midfield player! hes too slow and cant pick a simple pass even when hes got acres of space in the left back position! for me palacios and whelan need be given a go. Today whitehead was simply pathetic, worse than rory imo

Maybe it`s time for Tone to bit the bullet and go 4-3-3/4-5-1 and copy what most sides in the Prem seem to do.
This might help us get a foothold in midfield and keep the ball a bit better so the defence isn`t constsntly uder pressure.

one day it'd be nice to have players playing in their preferred positions...have cover for the wings...and actual full backs...

Midfield deffo need to be improved. Palacios is a good start but we need to another class player or two in this departement. Whitehead and Delap can't take us any further.

Without Delap today, we would have had no offensive threat whatsoever. His main job is to protect the centre of defence and he was as steady as ever. It was the players whose surnames begin with W who need to look at themselves closely. |

Palacios looked good, everyone else had a bad day.
Jon Walters looked a bit lost, Ethers isn't back to full fitness, Deano and Rory tried hard but couldn't find any passing rhythmn at all.
Too often players were standing still when we had the ball making keeping possession really tough.
We seemed stale and disjointed.
Working out how to fit Crouch into the team will prove a problem, but it has been encouraging to see the effort he has put in in his games so far.
We have improved the squad but it will take a little work for this to show in the performances of the team, as TP must suss out the best combinations to fit our system.
The system will not really change, let's face it, we all know how we play. We will continue to play the same way.
We've lost 1 in 10.
This has been a good start to a tough season.
Today was a bad day.
We will have some more bad days before the end of the year.
We will also have lots of good ones too.

Wilson getting played out of position is as getting as tedious as Huth being played at right back, Once Palacios is fit and Ethers regains his form we'll be getting there.

Post by buddyfolly on Sept 18, 2011 19:39:43 GMT
can't agree with that,wilson needs moving into centre mid the position we bought him for ,we paid 5 million for a centre mid who can play centre back but is playing left back.Huth is playing right back losing his place to a guy who has played 4 times in 18 months and another who was relegated last season WTF!
lets face it de-lap is in the side because of his throws and with the signing of crouch he will be there for some time,hopefully whitehead is in until palicous is fit.
