John McGrath's Jockstrap Posted 26 December, 2011 Share Posted 26 December, 2011 Often there is a lot of criticism of the management tactics..... but they got really got it spot on today against Palace. Palace were pretty much parking the bus in front of their goal today but playing with two up wide players most of the game with lots of 40 yard passes from the flanks switching the play finally unlocked it for us. Morgan was superb today. You could see from instructions that Guly was deliberately dropping deep therefore difficult to pick up.He is also a good header of the ball (apart from defending posts!) so very difficult for defences to pick him up on a run. I also loved the way Fonte was instructing Cork to sit in front of him on their goal kicks etc so confident he would win the ball in the air for Cork to pick up the 2nd ball !. Lots of good homework on Palace from NA and AC and it really showed.If only we could set up to same standard away...... but credit where credit due today !

Matty's Caddy Posted 26 December, 2011 Share Posted 26 December, 2011 Morgan was superb today. He is also a good header of the ball (apart from defending posts!) amazing how people see different things, apart from spraying passes across the field, morgan was consistantly giving the ball away when playing triangles also, guly is very poor at heading the ball in general and his glaring misses with his head in front of goal have cost us more than once this season that is my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
