Line up V Stoke

[mglennon]

Good team.

Thank you "R Martinez"

 

[Chang Elephant]

Besic rolls Royce ??????

You must have watched some poor players then,what next world class,up there with Jonathan Walters

Seriously people need to take a step back,the lads got potential,he's also got a potential red card every game

How many starts has he had????

How many times has he looked like he may have been booked in games more than once?

How many convictions did Harold Shipman have before he got nicked????

 

[Deggo]

Because they're exactly the same thing


He hasn't looked like he would get any because he makes the crunching tackles before he picks up a yellow and then stops once he does. Plus his crunching tackles aren't dangerous ones. In one game in Europe he picked up a yellow in the first 10 mins and practically never even made a foul after that yet was still very effective.

It's called being a good tackler. I know tackling isn't very popular at the moment so it can be difficult to see one when they come along.

Ok he won't get a red,he shows no sign of petulance whatsoever

Let's make him captain even

[Deggo]

The boy looks like he could be a top player

But that's the thing,he's a boy and it shows,trying too hard leads to......well you know

 

[GreenTeddy]

Howard
Coleman Stones Jagielka Garbutt
McCarthy Besic
McGeady Barkley Mirallas
Lukaku
​

Let's keep it simple and play to our strengths. The starting XI yesterday was a flippin' car crash of a selection.

He's 2 years younger than McCarthy, older than Barkley and the same age as Wilshire plus has played in the WC and been tasked to mark Messi and Bale and succeeded.

We are not talking about an academy player. He has also adjusted to the premiership now although I still think he'll get better. If Barry was performing then sure but he's not and his lack of legs is seriously costing us. I think it's one of the reasons defensively we look so poor this season.

It's time for the change. If we leave it any longer then the league season will be truly over.

No mate look at the wider picture,loved seeing Besic doing what he was doing v QPR but the likes of Barry,Distin,Jags even Baines when they pick the ball up there's no options........none,so the ball goes back across the back line where by now the opponent has pushed up and are breathing down the necks of our back line who start to panic,any player including Barry are forced into misplaced passes or mistakes,now if Barry loses the ball he'll try and track back,if Besic loses the ball I think he'll hack a player down out of petulance and we'll be down to 10 men..............there's something very wrong with us and Barry seems to be getting the sh*t for it,but hey let's give Besic a go and when I'm proved right you'll openly apologise right????

 

[ijjysmith]

Funny how a terrible performance makes you forget how bad the players who didn't play are.

We missed Osman in my head. And McGeads.

But put them in and I'd bet within 7 minutes i'd hate them again.

 

[Roger Milla]

Robles

Coleman
Garbutt
Jags
Stones

Barkley
Besic
Osman

McGeady
Kone
Pienaar

That would give a few players a kick up the arse

And 3 points to Stoke

 

[CJONES9]

As long as Sylvain Distin isn't playing, and we play with some wingers, we might, maybe, possibly, play well. Ignore me, i'm talking rubbish. We're [Poor language removed].

 

[ianefc]

Not good enough


Gone Missing - Only good next to a decent CB - Past it - Checks his hair


3 fooking years? - Time will tell


Out of position - Runs his socks off - Not a winger


Not gonna score if we don't create.


Subs: Drops a lot - Nowhere near a PL player - Better days gone - one good game in five - Young gun - Stones -
Exploded knees although now a world beater because of a half decent performance V Krasnador

 

[navidson]

Maybe.

Just effing maybe.

We don't HAVE to play with two defensive midfielders.

Said this for ages - If Moyes did it he would have been strung up

 

[Professor Toffee]

If McCarthy isn't back I guess we're going to be struggling with any pace in DM
I think Garbutt should get a run out with Stones hopefully back
McGeady and Kone in for Rom and Eto'o
