Reminds me of Terry Curran. If true, it means NA now realises De Ridder, Guly, JayRod (and maybe Puncheon) are not the answer for wide attacking positions.
I'm all for some positivity but the negatives are stacking up. With 8 games gone:
- 24 goals against
- 3 goalkeepers used
- dodgy centre backs
- lack of a good left back (unless Clynne moves over and that leaves right back problem)
- Lallana is not captain material (give it to Steve Davis, captain of Rangers and NI)
- 433 formation is not working
- Ricky is on the bench and Guly on the pitch
- crazy substitutions
- getting hammered at West Ham
- missing an opportunity to get more points from Wigan & Fulham
+ we are scoring goals (usually a problem for promoted teams)
+ we have 30 games left (and we have played 3 of top 4)
+ Gaston looks a special player
+ ?
RegrettablyI agree. Poor purchases (no prem' experienced defenders in the summer), poor selections (Lambert on the bench and Guly on the pitch), poor substitutions (Guly left on and Puncheon taken off). Looks like Nigel is out of depth in Premier League.
