Mr X Posted 8 February, 2014 Share Posted 8 February, 2014 Both have good qualities but for me cork edges it as the team seem more composed and creative with him and he seems to be the better passer, would lose out in a physical tussle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 February, 2014 Share Posted 8 February, 2014 Why is it Cork VERSUS Wanyama? We have both, we can use both and thank **** both of them are contracted to SFC. Both great players in their own ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 8 February, 2014 Share Posted 8 February, 2014 Id like to start this post by saying I never watched the game, I only know the score as was at work But Id imagine that a fit Wanyama would have been a better option vs stoke. Two different players, both very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintadjg Posted 8 February, 2014 Share Posted 8 February, 2014 I can't wait for a fit Vic to come back and claim his place back.i like Cork but I think we're much stronger defensively with Vic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai27 Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 Thought a fit Big Vic would have made a massive difference yesterday. Agreed. Lost count of the amount of times Cork was beaten in the air. Felt we needed that extra bit of muscle to counteract Stokes team of 'quality English footballers.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS1980 Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 Wonder if we can play cork vic and Morgan? Any good enough to play more box to box and attacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 Wonder if we can play cork vic and Morgan? Any good enough to play more box to box and attacking? Would be harsh on Davis. We're lucky with the 4 we have in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ed Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 Agreed. Lost count of the amount of times Cork was beaten in the air. Felt we needed that extra bit of muscle to counteract Stokes team of 'quality English footballers.' I agree to an extent, however Stoke we're pushing fairly high up (prior to the final 15mins) and we got caught under too much pressure in our own box from goal kicks etc. With VW's distribution I could have seen them scoring from one of those instances; Cork has a nack of playing his way out of seemingly impossible situations.

benjii Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 Thought a fit Big Vic would have made a massive difference yesterday. Agreed. It might have helped us establish our game*better in the first half. They won a lot of second ball in the middle of the park. Box's biggest strength is gobbling those up. Second half, they sat back more and arguably Cork would've been more use but I think we needed to establish a stronger platform from the start yesterday. Was also a shame Gallagher wasn't available as Lambert had a dreadful second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 I thought Jack Cork had one of his most ineffective games for quite some time yesterday, our central midfield in general just got a bit bullied and over-run by Stoke. Cork and Wanyama give us different options but I think VW might have been a better option yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork and Wanyama give us different options but I think VW might have been a better option yesterday. Stange that VW didn't come on at all yesterday don't you think, might not even have been fit enough to play for 20 minutes then because we could certainly have done with something different in the 2nd half, even send him on instead of Lambert or JRod and use him as a battering ram in attack. Didn't MP say he'd gotten a knock against Fulham ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't MP say he'd gotten a knock against Fulham ?Yep, I was expecting VW to come on at half time or shortly afterwards. It's very rare that our central midfield comes off second best but it did yesterday. I've got a lot of respect for Jack Cork as a player, I think he's superb. But yesterday he just wasn't at it and too often got bullied out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 (edited) Stange that VW didn't come on at all yesterday don't you think, might not even have been fit enough to play for 20 minutes then because we could certainly have done with something different in the 2nd half, even send him on instead of Lambert or JRod and use him as a battering ram in attack. Didn't MP say he'd gotten a knock against Fulham ? Don't think it would have made much difference TBF - if anything would have slowed us down more and played further into Stoke's hands. Still waiting to see the Vic who got goals at Celtic but that's in hope rather than expectation at the moment. After a horrible first half where we outbattled and did little to neutralise Adam spraying balls from deep, our midfield mostly took control in the second - probably because Stoke let us and dropped off, so there was no need to change things there.

Batman Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 over the season, i am guessing we have been far more solid with wayama in the side than not. which has allowed us to hang on to leads more effectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
