Hafnia Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Between kone, baines, Barry and Cleverley. Went with Kone, worked his balls off when others stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew2806 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Classic tale of two halves, should have been out of sight after half an hour! Think we were rocked by that early equaliser from yet another corner !! and never recovered our composure. It looks like every time we defend a corner we will concede and I think a lot of that is down to Howard who is constantly rooted to the spot on the goal line. Surely it's now time to drop him. Gave my vote to Barry though I thought Cleverley was excellent as well. Edited December 12, 2015 by BigTruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Cleverley. Most touches, most passes completed, highest pass completion, most tackles, always made intelligent touches that either got us forward quickly or stopped a Norwich threat entirely. He's really come back into the form he showed at the beginning of the season. I was worried he wouldn't get back there. But, he's performing well. It's a shame that Barkley and our back 4 have dropped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Mori. Thought cleverley was nice too, sell McCarthy while he's worth a lot still No. Selling McCarthy would be absolutely retarded. I don't know why you think McCarthy is so worthless. But, you're utterly wrong for thinking so. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Went for Stones, he was just so slick on the ball. Gave me a few heart attacks but always seemed to come out looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Cleverly for me. I really like his effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Barry. Should have been one of the attacking players getting it today but they failed to put this game to bed. Same old story, another 2 points dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Cleverley was like mccarthy today, covered the whole pitch, but even better linking up play up top. Put Barkley to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you're utterly wrong for thinking so. We don't have money for transfers we need to sell to buy look at the books. Turned a profit selling fellaini and Vic but this year At a loss since we bought Lukaku. Players have to go to keep us the same pace, it was the same with moyes. Not sure how you don't grasp that. So you look at assets and see who you could lose. Clev did his job on the cheap today and we didn't miss James one bit. James worth 15-20m and clev on a free. Sell James. Called logic bud. That will help us to stay afloat financially and bring in more players to keep giving it a go. Otherwise he gets old and is worth not much and we don't get anything in return. Will never happen because rm loves McCarthy but I would rather see him go than Lukaku or stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKR toffee Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I hate it when we always play two holding midfielders and we have four in our squad why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I hate it when we always play two holding midfielders and we have four in our squad why? Because they are great players and allow our full-backs to get forward, as well as covering Stones when he goes on a stroll up the pitch (Mori to an extent also). Nothing wrong with the system in that respect imo, works well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I hate it when we always play two holding midfielders and we have four in our squad why? It's been mentioned before Roberto himself was a holding mid and loves those players. Arsenal champs league every year have 1 holding mid full stop. Their full backs attack just as much so that argument is bunk. Same with man city toure doesn't defend its all Fernandinho for the lone holder. Same with barca busquets lone holder rakitic and iniesta play forward. If Barry was faster he could be the lone holder. Or if McCarthy could pass better. Honestly tom clev would be a nice lone holder ala poor mans busquets. Can pass nicely and has a tackle and some pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Baines is in Garth Crooks' team of the week. The man's an idiot (I realise that's not news). http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35089466 Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
