  1. Cabaye really doesn't tackle well at all and no we play with 2 6s and no 8, one left,one right, when you have attacking FBs such as ours the DMs cannot go wandering forward all of the time.. Neither is stationed exclusively in front of the defence. Morgan gets forward quite a bit when he can but if you look closely (and this is probably something that only TV viewers will see) he always appraises what's going on around him first and lays the ball off and drops back if there is insufficient cover. A truly intelligent player, always at the service of the collective effort.
  2. Once again another little englander who can't tell the difference between an efficient striker in a top european league and a second division hotshot. We'll not sign either of them as likely as not so it's academic anyway.
  3. Sums up that he's a whinging, provocative, little englander. Juventus is a top club.
  4. but they don't recover the ball as well which is the primary job of a DM, Morgan is a DM he's there to tackle, intercept and set us moving forward again his primary role isn't to score goals. It's what's know in France as a "6" or milieu recuperateur. We lack a real 8 or milieu "relayeur", mainly because we have 2 6s.
  5. no it comes from Italain sources. Juve want shot of Vucinic and want the new available Osvaldo so a swap is being projected.
  6. A real game of football between two good sides you mean, made a change from an 8-0 exhibition of billion quid City and 2 million £ West Brom actually.
  7. Well I don't know but she looked pretty miffed when Luke banged heads with Sagna, and that look really didn't do her any favours, probably looks her best when smiling actually.
  8. It could be that we're just trying to accelerate something we've been planning for next summer though due to the changed situation.
  9. but with Giroud that'd be nearer 80/20, sort of player you just can't be too careful with, he knows it and plays upon it, jeez I watched him for years at Montpellier..he's not changed.
  10. He'd have then gone down and they'd probably have been given a penalty. Giroud is a cheating, sly bastard always knows when to give a little shove to put his direct opponent off balance to gain an advantage, also fakes a good penalty.
  11. there was actually, Morgan tackles far better than Corky, 'bout the same on interceptions though.
  12. rubbish, Maya played pretty well and his distribution was Ok.
  13. Can't see why that would be, they've just signed an 8ft striker on loan from Monaco, they've got all the strikers they need.
  14. Nutter maybe but that is pretty agile for a bloke his size. Anyway great game, Canal+ switched it to the main game at half time so that was a bonus for me in particular,stream was good though, most Canal+ sourced stream usually are. French commentators raving about our CM again, said everything comes down to them, stop the opposition playing and set the tempo for our play.
  15. And is obviously first choice RB for the time being.
  16. We have a well known poster from Leigh I think, perhaps he'll let us know on that one in due course.
  17. Which is as I said at the time more of a wording default in the hastily knocked up statement than anything to really concern oneself about.
  18. Home debut in front of a sell-out crowd, couldn't ask for more, I think that with Gallagher and JRod both running at them the Arse might be in for a shock, hope we can capitalise early before they adjust.
  19. Was never going to be anywhere near the first team again. We have the 2 youngsters who although they aren't anywhere near PL standard are far nearer the first team than Martin will ever be. He isn't very good which is probably why he only ever played 20 or so league games for us in the 3 or 4 years he was with the squad full time. Just a stand in for the main men, Jaidi and Fonte in L1 and then Fonte and Jos in the Championship.
  20. was never going to be good enough for anything above League 1, too many technical weaknesses, got found out at Palace. He was probably OK with a really good CB like José alongside him and far better than average players in front of the defence. What many don't seem to realise is that the sides we put out in L1 were probably amongst the best ever seen in that division and many a below average player could pass for adequate amongst those playing at a level far below theirs.
  21. About PSG up to a certain point yes.
  22. Well we know that you're Rickie's number 1 fan so we can appreciate that would be your view. Lambert was "international class" at the age of 31, we'll see how many caps Gallagher has at 31, mind you it's only Scotland for the time being, could possibly switch at some stage I suppose.
  23. I think that the problem for some may be that a new young buck at CF might just show up Lambert to be the fading force that he is. They do like to hang on to their folk heroes . It was only Yeovil on saturday last but I saw a young bloke with good control and a bit of pace who his team mates didn't seem to mind supplying on the deck and not punting the ball in the air towards.
  24. how can you possibly know that already ?
  25. Excellent news if exact then, might be just what we need to give Arsenal's CBs a bit of a run around. Might even cause Koscielny to get a couple of yellows or a straight red, doesn't seem to like big blokes who run at him on occasions.
