yorkie Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 To be honest having him back has really tightened things up at the back. This pressing game suits both Schneiderlin and Cork - and see how advanced they are giving more support to the strikers. They have both become box to box midfielders we wanted earlier in the season.

RinNY Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Cork plays what has, I think, been England's weakest position: defensive/holding midfielder. Parker is excellent, but getting on for a footballer age-wise, and Barry has always been more efficient than outstanding for me, & is also getting older. I can see Cork getting in there, alongside Wilshere, as the heart of a new look England midfield, yes, with Gerrard & Lampard playing more limited roles as they are gradually eased out.

Sorry disagree about Parker, he isn't excellent, he's good at running about and making last ditch tackles and blocks but he doesn't keep up with the game. Both Cork and Schneirderlin read the game and have great positional sense to protect the back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Him and lallana are better than most current England midfielders, and have been the past 2-3 seasons.

Ex Ringwood Saint Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Great performance today...last few minutes he was still Tackling running and pushing deep in to the man c half.

SNSUN Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Cork £750k Morgan £1mill Lambert £1mill Fonte £1.2mill etc etc Bargains the lot of them, and more. I can't remember how much Punch cost us but it can't have been more than a few hundred K either. Cork perhaps is the bargain of the lot, not least because I reckon Chelsea would kill for him now.

skintsaint Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 If only he could tuck his chances away into the corners like Barry does. Unfortunately for Cork he has crap players like Henderson ahead of him picked purely that he's at Liverpool and was sold for silly money.

CanadaSaint Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Super-impressed with him, especially today. However, I'm just going to float the view (not sure I believe it myself) that he wouldn't be the same player without Schneiderlin. And vice versa. I hope for our sake and theirs that we can keep them together. Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain sensible Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Cork always was class. Even under Portvliet when he was on loan, he showed great composure, accuracy, fitness, the whole package. How Chelsea saw fit to sell him is beyond me, especially with the ageing squad, he would have been in that team now, and Roman wouldn't have been splashing the cash. But thats Chelsea for you. Great facilities at Cobham. Great Youngsters, all well developed and capable, and all sold off for next to nothing to make way for expensive signings. Maybe Chelsea should save a few quid and shut the academy down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 (edited) Superb again today. Arguably his best performance ever for us today IMO. Was everywhere and really seemed to go that extra yard with everything he did. Gave a very poor Lampard the runaround today. Great to see and long may it continue. I love him and Morgan. I'm struggling to think of a better 2 CM's I've seen at Saints. Edited 30 March, 2013 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 Really I thought he had one of his poorer games today (in an otherwise superb season). Agree, actually thought Shaw also had a weaker match compared to normal. Cork lost the ball dangerously in a couple of bad areas and wasnt as complete a performance as against Liverpool or City.
