All those quick to criticise Cole might like to consider the contrast between the service Bendtner enjoyed today with the rubbish that Cole has to try to feed upon. McClean and Sunderland showed how simple the game can be if you do the basics right. Park somebody on the left with a strong left foot and a bit of pace, tell him to attack the full back and whip in crosses, and what can the opposing team do? Have somebody else on the right doing the same thing and you stretch the opposition across the width of the pitch.
It's so so easy. Just watch Reading with McAnuff and Kebe!
It's always our midfield. Can't remember last time we had a proper midfield...Bergovic days, maybe...
ReplyDeletehf if you offer dale out forget the rumble in the jungle thats in the past the futures gotta be the battle of the bloggers at the rear of the queens pardon the pun mr dale
ReplyDeleteV Middlesbrough... The balls Taylor and McCartney were putting in were fantastic, and were was cole whilst these balls were being crossed? standing around on the edge of the area not even trying to get on the end of one.
ReplyDeleteWe were heavily linked with McLean in January of last year as well while he was still in Ireland. Picked up Gary O'Neill instead. I believe they call that a 'fuck-up'
ReplyDeleteAgreed HF..but we have been saying this all season.Why can't ALLARDYCE see it? He has way over-complicated the beautiful game ,made it into the awful game in WESTHAM's case.
ReplyDeleteI read in The Sun today that if we go up this season alardyce is looking to bring Shakil O'Neil out of retirement and reinvent him as a striker and he is also looking to acquire the services of a brick wall to play in goal if Green doesn't sign a new contract. It is reported however that Premier league rules might prohibit this so expect Allardyce to have another rant about the rules being wrong if we go up.
