SAFE_SAINT Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 SKD was amazing tonight as we all know. But I think a special mention need to go to MS- his break up play and work rate very impressive. Bit of an unsign hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 I've been Schneiderlin's biggest critic but he has really got his game together and has been the difference in our recent run. He has always had talent but now he's starting to read the game much better, he's no longer a show-poney, but a proper team player and sublime passer.

saints-cris Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 He always helps out the fullbacks in defending so well. Best CM today by a mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 Totally agree. He really is starting to look like the "cultured" (to use a WHU phrase) midfielder that he always promised to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 He's been class for quite a long while now. The defensive side to his game has improved immensely over the last few years. Think Pardew and Adkins need to be thanked for that. Great performance from MS today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever a red and white Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 He was fantastic today. The one player who would get the ball down in the first half and try and play a pass. Made crucial challenges as was brilliant in the holding role once we shifted to a diamond or 4-3-1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottery st mary Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 Well done Spiderman...Always had the talent and the skill...... Most improved team player in the side.....Tackling, covering and positioning have helped to a great team effort... Much credit goes to..... my good self, for giving him a big kick up his backside, after taking over his coaching , from those two boyzzz blouses... Window cleaner and Avenue Saint:rolleyes: (You talk a good game boyzzz but he needed a real first class coach:) Keep it going Morgan...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gis Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 (edited) He has been top class for us again this season. One of a few in the current bunch that I honestly believe could go all the way with us towards the top of the Premier League if our dreams become reality. I really think he could turn into a great player. Edited 3 March, 2012 by Gis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 Hammond also did well when he came on, I thought. An off day for Cork, but thankfully it didn't matter in the end.

S-Clarke Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 Tonight he was excellent, and he was our midfield in the first half. His game has come on so much and he is such a classly elegant midfield player now - with the addeded strength and tenacity to make him a real hit in the english game. I would not be suprised if some big clubs start looking at him, I think he's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerBadger Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Top notch - sometimes a player in his position playing well can seem anonymous and not get the plaudits, tonight he played that role and stood out from the crowd, stand up and be counted Morgan, we salute you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flying Finn Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Always thought he was very talented yet inconsistent. He has really grown in the last few games (IMO since we beat Forest), and I would now rate as our best CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been impressed with him all season really, Championship suits him, Prem would even more IMO Would have to disagree and give Chaplow a massive pat on the back. Only recently back from a long lay off - his workrate was immense and towards the end was often the most forward player on our breakaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only recently back from a long lay off - his workrate was immense and towards the end was often the most forward player on our breakaways.Threesixty referred to first half. Chaplow was absolutely awful first half. Was much better in the 2nd. Just because Chappers runs around a lot does not always make him good. If he had used his brain a bit more early on andslowed it down it would have helped. Morgan was immense yesterday again, some people will probably not agree, likely the same ones who used to think Oakley was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I have often thought that when Morgan is on his game he sets the tempo for the team, a bit like Oakley under WGS, not a superstar in the spotlight performance just a solid hub in midfield. He also seems to have curbed his desire to react to the niggling he gets from the opposition, but his tackling has become much more precise and still just as hard......... Almost like Hammond with finesse in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 When Cork came in last summer with such high expectations, it did look as if Morgan was slipping to 3rd choice in MF, especially as it was hard to see Hammond as team captain and with his commitment, being left out. Cork is well worth his place in the side but maybe he hasn't quite reached the heights expected of an u-21 international. I'd certainly see Schneiderlin as our No.1 in CMF and every prospect of him having an impact in the Prem. Having Cork and Hammond, as well as Chaplow, fighting it out for a midfield spot is a good example of of how well this squad has been put together.

Saint_Jimbo83 Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 People who think Morgan isn't an important player is a short sighted football fan. Players don't always have to be eye catching to be a vital player in the team. Breaking up the play, keeping the ball and playing it simple is just an important. Lallana and Lambert do the rest. Premier league clubs have been sniffing around him for years, there must be a reason for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Been one of our best players for years and has been chronically under-rated on this bored for many seasons.

JibMcdo Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 no it never. Adkins disagreed with you. Morgan was on the bench for a lot of the beginning of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up and away Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Morgan had a very good game against Leeds but nothing has really changed. For overall performances this season Cork is out in front with Morgan and Hammond that little bit further back. I have seen this replayed so many times now that it is nigh on nailed on. We get the call that Morgan must start the next game, or Hammond / Cork after a good performance, only for that performance to miss the mark in muted silence. Our two central midfielders have to rotate their appearances, otherwise they will fall short of the mark as we have seen regularly. This is not a slight on any of them, just the nature of our style of play and what we are asking them to do. So if Morgan does not start the next game or comes off early, that still makes sense from everything that has gone before. Bring Hammond in for Cork on Tuesday, subbing Morgan with Cork at half time so we have fresh legs for both Tuesday and the following Saturday.

Avenue Saint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 anyone who doesnt see what influence morgan brings to the team, is one very simple minded football fan. when we get to prem, lallana and him will by far be our most valuable assets.

Pompeyh8r Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Top post, glad he has been recognised for putting an honest quality shift. I believe he could b our most important player for the remaining away matches. My reason for this is that his ball retention is critical especially when we are under the cosh and looking to close out a win. A player who you can give the ball to when all else round you is falling down in priceleess. Morgan also puts out lot of fires un-noticed with his covering for out attacking options. Well done Morgan you deserve all his praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
