Am I Crazy?

[johnnydawg68]

IF (CAPITAL LETTERS)...Pienaar can get and stay healthy...his attributes would seem to my admittedly untrained eyes...to be a perfect #10. He's always had some of the best on ball skills in our side, and his vision and knack for a clever pass has always impressed me. He doesn't have the legs to play out wide anymore, and he was always tucking in anyway with Baines out wide...which is obviously not a feature of our team anymore.

It's a moot point now, but when Pienaar returns, why not play him centrally and conduct the orchestra?

Ok now you can tell me I'm crazy.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

yeah youre crazy

 

[ijjysmith]

Not crazy at all mate.

Sadly Pienaar won't be fit for a prolonged time ever again.

 

[efc.1878]

Too slow now. Think Barkley is and would do a better job in that role

 

[The Equaliser]

Is this a Slade song ?

 

[AlexNyarkone]

Should have been n10 for the last 5 years, probably the most intelligent footballer we've had in the last 10 years.


Our current best number 10 is Osman, the season before last Osman played pretty much every game and look where we finished. The team lacks a brain.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Has the skill set but not the body sadly. Had the ability to put through passes and hold up the ball well plus got a fair few free kicks. RIP

No, the spelling is immaculate.

 

[Harryflashman]

I'm sure I read a few times that the manager saw him playing centrally in the future but injuries ensured it never happened.

Fitness issues probably kill this idea unfortunately .

 

[Hellerad]

I love Pienaar.

But he's crocked.

 

[Alio]

I think we should play an inverted number 9 there

Or a 4 plus 6

IM SO CONFUSED

 

[johnnydawg68]

yeah youre crazy

Not crazy at all mate.

Thanks for sorting me out lads.

Pienaar is done. Has been for 18 months.

Always fancied Stevie P behind the striker. I fear his days are numbered though.

I remember watching us against Malaga (I think) in a pre-season friendly a few years ago. We spent the last 15 minutes playing with Fellaini and Arteta sat behind Pienaar in a midfield triangle. I thought we were going to win the league.

Remember when Arteta was out for a year and Pienaar played a few games in center mid and did really well? I'm getting moist just thinking about it.
