tisspahars Posted 24 October, 2013 Share Posted 24 October, 2013 Last week MP was very matter of fact that he picks the team depending on performances, training etc......this week we have pictures of Gaston "fully recovered from the illness that kept him out last weekend!" Evens Starts Evens Bench 25/1 Left out in the cold again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 24 October, 2013 Share Posted 24 October, 2013 I do think Fulham are the kind of team he'll perform well against - they give opponents time on the ball and a touch of class undoes their mediocre defense. I'd hope he starts, but I think competition for places it too tight. Stick him in the centre of the front three with Lallana and Rodriguez either side, and Lambert up top, I think he'll do well.

Colinjb Posted 24 October, 2013 Share Posted 24 October, 2013 I hope he comes good, purely on the basis that it's never good seeing a young man struggle. It would be good to see him make the most of talent too... of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Didnt see any pics of Osvaldo? Hah Gaston has been doing extra training sessions due to his fitness. I believe he is still very much apart from our plans. Corrected for you :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentsaint Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Davis has a knock but think we will play Lambert and osvaldo rather than Gaston for Davis straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooney Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 If Fulham pack their half and Gaston can come on to unlock their defence that is ok with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Nobody else is able to find a way through and stick the ball in the net so why not Ramirez. I mean any forward who isn't scoring goals is worthless so he can replace anybody more or less. lLt's start with Ramirez, Guly and Lee... why not? Can't be any worse than Osvaldo, Rodrigues and Davies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timayes Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Shaw and Clyne bombing up and down the wings, wth Gaston floating in and around a front three (Oz, Lallz and Lambz).

alpine_saint Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 I dont know whether to respect the optimism or deride the delusion..... Personally, I reckon crunch time has arrived. If he doesnt play now and put in some decent performances over the next 3 games, I reckon he's gone. I think the momentum is already towards the exit, and MP is perhaps thinking of giving him enough rope. Its a win-win for MP; if The Gash performs, he perhaps get match-winning contributions. If he doesnt, he gets rid of one of his biggest wage-earners and the chance to replace with his own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alpine, for giving such an early bit of evidence as to what you think of people with different opinions to yourself. You're never content to disagree... you have to "deride". You're not alone, unfortunately. I have no problems with people with different opinions, but I never disparage people with such opinions, but I do object to the way people express them and denigrate others at the same time. Mind you, you aren't unique * * *** and ******* are incapable of expressing their opinions without a sneer or heavy sarcasm. It really is most juvenile and extremely wearing.

stu0x Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Gaston wouldnt be the first player with undoubted talent but whose skills just don't fit the playing style of the premier league. He wouldn't even be the first Uruguayan of recent years. He's clearly not a terrible player, he's just someone whose strengths are minimised and weaknesses are magnified by the system he plays in. It seems pointless to keep him when he so obviously doesn't fit into Poch's system Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Firstly I don't think Gaston is a terrible player but I do think he hasn't given his all.
