Bosingwa & Nelsen Must Start At Norwich

[Felt]

Agree with Ric. On top of that defence Id go with a midfield and forward line of:

Park Adel Diakite Hoilet
Zamora Cisse

Wierdly fancy us if we have that line up.

I would rather SWP on the wing and Park in the centre.

[Ric-Roc]

Tony was half boasting about only spending £1.5m net on SSN the other day so surely funds can be made available for the one position that is now critical & that the fans have been crying out for.

Not a dig saying he was boasting but you know what I mean.

[Slydo]

Zamora in for Mackie. 2 up front needed. BZ holds the ball up causes problems and works hard to get cisse space. Yesterday we failed because we only had 1 up front.

Maybe put adel on the right, it looked at times yesterday Hoilett and Adel wanted to play in the same position.

Agreed. Ferdinand just hasn't got it.

*He doesn't read the game well enough so we often get shafted on counter attacks.
*He does not command his troops well enough.
*He's not really a physical presence.
*He seems to get mugged off on set-pieces....... I could go on.

[Ric-Roc]

Its true mate. Harsh but true.

All the goals were bad but Dyers second, christ Ferdinand looks over his shoulder so late & then has to burst into action knowing damn well he hadn't tracked his man & had then left the GK exposed AGAIN. Schoolboy stuff.

Something needs looking at but thats the same m/field that offered no cover to the defence yesterday the fenders were stuggling yesterday cos the swans found it to easy to get at them

[WindsorR]

clint was terrible too. Hopefully we would have signed a cb by then...

[QPR Richard]

All good teams are built with strong defences, particularly CBs. Look at Man City who have Kompany and Lescott. Look at that great Arsenal defence of Adams Keown Dixon and Winterburn. Our own Macca Bardsley Sansom Parker. We finished yesterday's game with Onouha and Ferdinand.

A good defence needn't cost the earth. We just need some good hardworking and well-drilled pros who do the basics well.

Agreed. Ferdinand just hasn't got it at.

*He doesn't read the game well enough so we often get shafted on counter attacks.

Nothing new there, before last season NW stated already Ferdinand had to start to get out of the shadow of his brother and had the right age to shine now, but somehow i think he will always stay a mediocre PL defender, good days combined with bad ones due to reasons mentioned above.
That some people see a captain in him is really beyond me.
Fear that if we acquire a new CB or get Nelsen in it will go at the cost of Hill

Also the question of Adel's finally maturing is not solved yet.
Looking yesterday's game it looked as if we were nowhere near a team especially in the second half.
GK problem not really addressed by getting the "cheap" solution Green, who looks very shaky in the two games i saw him.

MH has to be urged to look at all matters cause many of those are due to his choices

Agreed. But which CB´s who have have played Premiership fotball can you i.e. suggest?
I just wonder. Huth(fit?) at Stoke? He can play in that possition as well. That´s one.

I must admit, I don't know who to suggest. I quite like Scott Dan and Liam Ridgewell. Players like Gallas and Bassong have been mentioned, and of course Samba.

[paulmason]

I agree BZ for Mackie for me but I was more worried about us at the back. I think we'll score goals this season well enough but defending? Shriek

Most people were saying Zamora for Tarrabt..........

Ok, thanks. Williams of Swansea is refusing to sign a new contract.

Were they? Not where I was sitting they were not.

Why would you play Baz on the right ?
