Why would we need a replacement for someone who doesn't make the bench!? We're trying to get rid of him for a reason!!
Why would Madine come to back to CCFC!? :facepalm:
Who is KMB and are we actually linked to him?
I think Doyle would be a good signing, a new CB to either start or...
Fleck and Thomas as CMs in a 4-4-2 would be a disaster. Like the formation itself. You need a more defensive person (Bailey) in there as well. 5 man midfield got us where we are, and 4-4-2 hasn't, so why change a system when it's not broken!?!?
2 or 3 goals? You're talking 'Otis' now!
I can't take your analysis seriously if you think Sheff should start! McSheff is our worst player off the ball hands down. If Fleck was in behind the striker, he wouldn't need to be good at tackling etc. he'd just need to be able o press the ball...
What is your problem with Clarke? He played well v Spurs, contained Bale pretty well, you say he shouldn't have let him roam, but that mean he'd be going out of position, he comes someone else's responsibility when he leaves the RB jurisdiction. He has a cross that is far better than Christie's...
Our strongest midfield, at the minute is:
Baker Bailey Fleck Thomas* Moussa
He might not be 100% if so Jennings to come in. Bar that, this midfield is most capable on the ball and good enough off it, Thomas is a typical box-to-box midfielder and plays like his hero, Scholes (obviously not...
I don't think we need to compete on a physical footing, we have to make sure we keep the god damn ball on the ground and not in the air! That's where we went wrong last game. Having Fleck and Thomas will help us to do that (with Baker, Bailey and Moussa to assist). You talking of physicality...
Would you start Sheff? Yes or no?
You make yourself have lots of possession or not, this is a game we could dominate possession, only PNE will put us under more pressure, I'd rather have Fleck on the ball than say Jennings. Fleck can unlock a defence (3 quality passes down the line that fell...
How is Fleck a liability?
The same people who think Fleck shouldn't start for being a 'liability' off the ball, think McSheffrey should start! So tell me, how is Fleck more of a liability than McSheff, the guy who exposes his LB every time he plays.
Oh, I forgot this, we let too many...
I don't think that was the case, Spurs were going for more, they don't do as well when they took off Parker, and for the 10m before he got took off, we played better with Barton, CT and Fleck.
Jennings and Bailey got bullied by Spurs midfield, more than they did v PNE.
I don't think we should play 4-4-2, but if you stick Bailey in for Jennings, we have a midfield capable of countering their bully boy midfield.
Why we shouldn't play 4-4-2 (I'll try keep it brief):
This season...
Clarke's distribution? What, him putting in 2 beauty crosses? Keeping possession better than most our players.
Edj struggled with the physicality of Adebayor, it was that Adebayor just played shit, Edj was all over the place for one of their goals. Wood was a brave heart at the back, threw...
MR said he knew how a Westley side would play...
I think CT4 and Fleck will counter how they play, they can keep possession better under pressure than our other players, I think Spurs proved this.
There's no point trying to go out there and 'outmuscle' PNE, we should go out there with a...
What difference would the same midfield that got "battered" last time, make this time? Ok, Baker didn't start, but it was the same old story when he came on.
I hope MR mixes it up, brings in Fleck and hopefully Thomas, if he's fit enough.
Quite possibly, I know it's the CET and a 'Daily something paper' I was pretty sure it was the Daily Mail but if it's the Mirror, I stand to be corrected.
I for one do not know. But neither do you.
If ACL makes profit, their shareholders will get paid dividends and they can do with it as they will. They are representatives from the CCC and AHC.
Pirlo ripped up Germany as well, including, wait for it, Khedira.
He also ripped Spain in the group game, including, wait for it, Xabi Alonso AND Busquets :)
Pirlo ripped everyone that tournament. But he isn't a holding midfielder.
I'm aware of that, but because it is set up by the council, doesn't mean the taxpayers' will see any of the money, therefore, CCFC are not ripping off a charity nor the taxpayers of the city.
Btw, Hoffman is a director (or something like that) at both the CET and Daily Mail, so the CET is going to spout some BS to turn fans (like yourself) against SISU. Just saying.
