Holtby

I STAYED UP TO WATCH MATCH OF THE DAY JUST TO SEE BALES GOAL AND FELL ASLEEP JUST AS WE TOOK TO THE PITCH ,

AVB confirmed that the Holtby signing was a direct replacement for VDV not Sandro, i cannot se him playing in the CM role unless he is filling in, he will be played like yesterday, behind the lone forward, the way he brought pretty much everyplayer into the game after he came on suggests that it would be best to leave him to create the chances, not have him bogged down in a deeper role.

Yeah i would like him to start on sunday, looked really good, yeah bales goal was special

"Competition competition competition.

In so many positions we have no serious competition for places.

We need more of this because at the moment the team pretty much picks itself"

Indeed.
That will be another step the squad will have to make in order to progress.

Parker although not the best tackler is much better at tackling then Dembele, so i say keep them both at cm and drop Dempsey to the nbnch as another option, i think defoe would thrive on the balls played through to him from Holtby.

I'd love to see the stats for how many times Dempsey failed to control the ball and gave the ball away. Watched the game in the net and that's all he seemed to do.

As for Parker. Our front line is built on pace so when he gets the ball he holds onto it, stopping any pace attack. He then either does his signature spin or got caught in possession. We can't afford to continue to start so badly!

That's exactly the vision I had

would love to have seen siggy's shot go in, would have done the world of good for his confidence

==================

Same here. He's had a few of those near misses towards the end of games.

And you can bet your bottom dollar had we been 3-1 up, that would have gone under the keeper.

Always the way.
