I can think of plenty in the past.

Jan Molby..never moved out of the centre circle. In that team he never needed to.

My example was better. The idea that a player can only get good if they run phenomenally is crazy. It's only one attribute.

He must have had a hell of a shot in him to score 44 goals from the centre circle

Messi consistently runs less than any of the rest of his team and in the last World Cup less than two keepers.

Molby was a great player, but you'd never make it to the top level now in the condition he was.

Molby literally made a career out of staying in the centre circle. He physically couldn't move if he tried to. But his vision and passing was out of this world.

They were literally all penalties.

He just stepped up to take penalties.

You really are clueless.

I particularly enjoyed the goal where he ran from his own half and scored.

Im saying we’ve had injury and suspension issues in midfield and attack. With a fully fit squad he’s not in the starting XI.

I'd say we have a fully fit midfield to choose from now and I'd also bet that Allen starts on Saturday at the expense of CoH or Palmer

Allen will almost certainly start on Saturday and it will be Palmer that misses out.

Palmer has proved to be very effective when brought on after an hour or so.

Depends how scared we are of QPR and whether we revert to the 5311 or stick with the box really.

Yes, he's been much better coming on for the last 20-30 in the second half when the game is stretched and there is more space to exploit.

I'm not convinced Palmer and O'Hare work in a box, you don't get the same intensity of the high press as when Allen and O'Hare are there, and both players want the ball in similar areas to turn at the defence. And neither really make runs in behind off the ball. On paper they should be brilliant, two skillful mercurial talents, but in reality you need that bit of variation to create space and move people around.

You’re judging it on 60 mins when the opposition parked 10 players in their own half for the majority of the game. They’ve shown in previous games they can create chances together.

They did open things up once or twice v Wigan just didn't get the run of the ball or Palmer was slightly off, his chance came from their interplay after all
