Imagine a team without Townsend in it

Get Lamela on the wing tonight, tell him to be positive all night, every chance get at the full back, drop him inside, out, make him guess, don't let the first tackle be on him,

Even if he picks up a yellow, be the aggresor,

Sandro/Paulino
Townsend, Eriksen, Lennon
-----

That midfield has:

Power - Sandro
Composure - Paulinho
Pace - Townsend / Lennon
Skill/craft - Eriksen

But is your midfield lacking goals ?

metro - I just wrote an article on the role of our midfield after some of lucas;s comments made me think.. have a read.

I liked this interview about Lamela because it shows the boy is aware that he can play much better and finding it a little slow to adapt to the country. Within time this guy will be our best player no doubt about it.

But is your midfield lacking goals ?

Well at the moment the whole team is lacking goals.
Lennon will never score more than 5-7 goals a season and I doubt Sandro will score more than 3.
But the potential is there with Paulinho, Eriksen and Townsend

That midfield has:

Power - Sandro
Composure - Paulinho
Pace - Townsend / Lennon
Skill/craft - Eriksen

But is your midfield lacking goals ?

The last midfielder to score 10+ goals for us (not including Rafa) was Gazza, every season we've had midfielders score less that 9 or 8 league goals

Paulinho is on for double figures

And I'm talking CM not Bale (wide men)

Thudd,

Lennon wasn't great but never got the ball in front of him always with his back to goal...

you just told me I was right when I said poyet thud
