When was the last time one of our midfield 3 scored a goal or gave an assist. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it Stephen Ireland against Tottenham? Does this worry you?

With the current system, our midfield there are there to re-establish possession and to assist the attacking players rather than create themselves.
That said, Affelay is clearly very creative and is only a matter of time until we see him adding to the threat.

Shit bin....Whelan and Cameron there to win the ball..Bojan, Arnie, Shaqiri and Afellay there to score. If that isn't good enough then jesus christ what do you want?

Only Stoke fans could moan about our "HOLDING MIDFIELDERS" not weighing in with enough goals with results like the shit and the blue half of that city, cup semi finals, top half of the premier league.
If we won the Champions League people would be pissed off we didnt keep a clean sheet to do so!
Grow Up!

You should know by now 1) its never as good as the 70's and 2) its never right even if we had the greatest midfield 3 in world some people are never happy unless moaning

didn't Cameron have a shot on target against West Brom? This thread seems ludicrous to me in our current set-up! ** Edit I honestly thought this thread was from 2009 when I first opened it

It's not the holding midfielders that bother me to much, it's our two big centre backs on set plays, I'd like to see Shawcross or even Wolscheid get on the end of a corner or free kick once or twice.....
We always roar when we get a corner, fuck knows why???

Yeh creativity was certainly lacking when Bojan flicked it to Arnie who megged the defender while laying it to Shaq to slot passed Howard at Everton. Knob.

Afellay is total quality on the ball ..
Is he best in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 ??
I don't know :-)

Does this worry you? what worries me more is the fact you dont seem to have any idea how the team is set up, or the formation we use, .... we have an effectively front 4, that leaves whelan and geoff as defensive cover when the opposition get the ball, or we'd be fuking over run,.... stick to the play station

The reason I think Bojan isn't a key player......
Afellay if he's playing where he is needs to do more as well in this regard or be played deeper where Fonzy was.

Does Aff winning ball off Barry and threading Arnie through to win a penalty count? Which was all of 2 games ago!!

He's shown glimpses but nothing more which for someone playing where he does isn't enough.
I'd love to see him deeper, dictating the play from there and keeping the ball better for us with Bojan deeper and having more time on the ball to influence the game more than he does now. Which for me isn't enough atm.

Unfortunatly corners seem to be non events recently. I would like to see our talented front line when in possession run at opponents inside the penalty area. They are so good they will pick up decisions.

So Bojan isn't creative? Ireland? Adam? Seriously? Cameron? Afellay? I know it could be better but ffs this is the best midfield I've seen us have since I can remember.
