I like parker but he is not taking us any higher than 4th

we will really miss Modders this season unless we find a midfield player who can create and score more than Modders

That is why im hoping if a player loses form that AVB will drop them

Harry just kept playing the same players, same as England managers do


managers are paid to make big decisions and be the boss, lets hope AVB realises that

Caulker will be getting PL match time this season, they'll have to keep him happy or he'll be looking elsewhere. He had a great season and no doubt feels he's proved he can cut it.

I still think it'll be Kaboul and Vert first choice but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Caulker was next in the queue

i don't think half of 'em even watch the games...too busy gorging on the free hospitality.....

Parker did a job, no doubt, but that type of limited CM has no real place in any top side in this day and age. Mid to lower table sides rely on an enforcer whereas top sides expect them to do a bit more than just that side of the game. Sandro has the ability to be like Keane was for United, or Vieira - doing the hard yards but also driving the team on and using the ball well

Parker proved in the first half of last season he can do a great job for us. I don't agree his type of football hasn't a place as the results say otherwise, it just depends on the system you use. The second half of the season went downhill as we didn't rotate. You can't play his brand of football without a rest.

That said, I do think Sandro is the more complete player.

I've had this before - I thought we were shocking for large parts of games even when we were on that winning streak. No control over the midfield. The chickes just came home to roost later in the season when teams sussed us out and realised how poor we were through the middle. Parker getting injured almost saved our CL push when we went on that run at the end

The Arsenal 2-1 game was a case in point - my mates were buzzing and couldn't see my point when I said it was stressful, we were awful with the ball and were lucky Arsenal's back 4 and strikers had a mare

Hrh I agree with that. We were VERY lucky to win many of the games we did in that streak. Arsenal at home comes immediately to mind when to be honest, we were more or less outplayed. Fulham away too.

A lot of our problems last season came from allowing Bale a free role and Lennon getting injured without a decent back-up. We completely lost our shape and our outball to the wings disappeared, as a result the midfield were under constant pressure. Add to that the defensive injuries and it's hardly surprising they were overrun at times.

I think you are being unduly harsh re Parker, he carried an injury for a large part of the second half of the season and this ultimately caught up with him. Fortunately Sandro was a more than useful replacement!
