Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Time will tell. Maybe making sure that he's fit for Saturday, although we haven't had a game for a week and a half so would think he's fine to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 TBF, if we get any/many set pieces tonight, we need to make the most of them. Fox is our best dead ball specialist. Although it's not a reason to have him in the team, maybe that is what they're thinking if thats the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-cris Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me to see Fox on the left. Wouldn't be a bad move either. Bit of width, delivery and protection for Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me to see Fox on the left. Wouldn't be a bad move either. Bit of width, delivery and protection for Shaw. Before seeing the Villa game I'd have agreed; but Fox came on for Ramirez for the last 15-20 minutes of that game and we instantly looked much worse. He thought he was playing left back (despite the fact he was supposed to be LM) but offered absolutely nothing going forwards, choosing instead to sit deep and invite their full back on. he didn't seem to have any knowledge of how to play left midfield, and I think he'd be a complete passenger if we try that tonight. We may as well waste Ramirez out there rather than play Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSaint Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Some week for Fox, from suggestions he's getting sent packing to the championship to rumours that he's getting picked over Shaw at Old Trafford. As a player who can't defend, I wouldn't want him at LB and as a player who never gets forward I wouldn't want him at LM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Maybe Fox left back Shaw at left mid? might make sense, let Shaw run at them for 45 minutes down their weak(er) right side and then drop back to LB to let Lallana take over on the left. Other than that if Shaw really isn't 100% it may well be that Fox is at LB and Puncheon will move from right to left because he's not too bad defensively. 3rd solution Davis and Cork at CM and Morgan on the left just to cover up Fox's weaknesses, bit of a waste that though.

Leicestersaint Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Fox is not up to it in the PL - anyone who saw all the early games when he was LB would agree - he was invovled in giving several goals away as he was skinned or when headed the ball right back into the attackers' feet.
