sandwichsaint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Not sure we'll ever know will we? Went into the game on the back of a 'foot injury' and hadn't played for 3 weeks. Apparently he had a temperature/virus/sore throat in the lead up. Maybe he took a knock, no sign of that but he was involved in several bruising encounters in the first half. On a yellow and finding Debuchy and Guittierez a real handful, risk of a red? I'd go for the red-card option personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for the red card option, especially seeing the alternative and definitely with hindsight. I like hindsight. Mr 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 He subbed Shaw because he thinks Fox is a better player, clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 He (MP) has been trying to get into British humour recently, watching a lot of Mr Bean, the chuckle bros etc. He thought it might be funny to have Jos and Fox on the same pitch for a bit. He wanted to bring back Benali for a one off show but NC wouldn't have it. Not until he returned his spoon to the sex dungeon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 The official Twitter said he "looked like he'd taken a knock", I for one thought it was the potential for a sending off; a good choice I thought, until Fox messed up our chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 On OS MP says he has a thigh injury but not believed to be serious and should play next Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sea Saint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Left back is becoming our Achilles heel. Don't get me wrong, Shaw is an excellent player and will continue to get better and better, but think back to the Wigan game, his inexperience led to him playing Maloney onside for their equaliser. Man City's break away goal was came down our left. Shaw did really well with Debuchy on Sunday, but was getting little support from Rodriguez, and the experienced Guiterrez was tricking him into little fouls all afternoon, a red card was imminent. Would love to see a decent experienced left back bought in to act as back up and mentor to Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Shaw is outstanding, but he was playing poorly on Sunday and looked in danger of being sent off. It made sense to take him off, injury or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocco boxo Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Defence is still a long way off being premiership class. They have improved but not at the standard required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Shaw is outstanding, but he was playing poorly on Sunday and looked in danger of being sent off. It made sense to take him off, injury or not. Debuchy is a good player marauding forward, probably too good for the inexperience of Shaw and Fox..well forget it.. Lallana just doesn't provide enough cover to his FB and that's not going to change anytime soon. We're probably better off without him to be honest..

DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Was playing poor by his standards But a hash yellow card probably forced MP's hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 I've changed my mind with Lallana a few times this season. At the very start I thought he was poor. Then he improved and covered Shaw a lot more than he did with Fox. He was poor on Saturday until he went more centrally. Fine when we're attacking a lot of the time. but struggles against physical sides and his decision making is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so22saint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Can we get Matt Target involved with the first team squad - he's meant to be good. Fox could be cover for left wing - his defensive concentration and positioning is the problem with him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if we've got quite the right mix of road-sweepers and violinists at the moment, particularly away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
