Saint Fan CaM Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 9 minutes ago, Badger said: Apart from tackling and ballwinning of course Think you’re still thinking of the Lallana of old - he’s admitted himself that he’s a different type of player now. And anyway, if you’ve a got a player in midfield that can retain high possession Russball is more likely to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dropped Manning early on last season, he's dropped Smallbone. I know he's injured but he's been dropped since then, stopped playing KWP because he's out position and also dropped BBD.

Mr X Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Serious question does anyone actually like RM's brand of football? Never has a style been more frustrating and boring to watch. That's said I am prepared for him to prove me wrong but it needs to start today! Anything less than a win against a fellow relegation rival isn't good enough.

pimpin4rizeal Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 23 minutes ago, Badger said: Looks a bit lightweight and weak in midfield, and unless Dibling fulfills his promise (tall order for an 18 year old after only three games)not a great deal of threat upfront. Looks better up top to me simply because this team is filled with creative players. With both Fernandes and lallana in mf and dibling and Fraser wide at least you can see where the creativity is coming from. Unlike our earlier selections with bbd outside and barely any creativity whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 A bit ridiculous to drop your best defender in KWP; I guess that’s what happens when you don’t sign a new contract. I bet Ipswich are buzzing having seen that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnersaint Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 4 minutes ago, HKsaint said: Is it a punishment for KWP not signing a new contract? No. I think having KWP playing at left wing back made us unbalanced. I don't think he's been as bad as people seem to be implying. Combined well in first half last week with BBD but let down by the latter, providing scant support when Utd had the ball. I would hazard a guess that Sugawara was bought as a KWP replacement in the event of him being sold in the summer window and that has left us with a problem because he's still here and KWP is more versatile than Sugawara. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Saint Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 That is more or less the side I’d have selected, toss-up between Fraser and Cornet, Cornet will be in when Fraser runs out of fuel, ditto Lesley for Lallana after an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were winning it would feel like a much better 'brand'. As we aren't, it feels pointless, ploddy and frankly a bit shit. We just don't get it forward quick enough (amongst other glaring issues).
