Our "Big Name" players

And yet playing 4-4-2 got us into third with a bit of a cushion, and we then switched to 4-5-1 and started to struggle badly :-k

I wish Harry would stick to ONE system though. Today's 4-5-1 didn't work at all and then when he did switch to 4-4-2 he should've pushed VDV up top and took Ade off.

This,stick to one system please.

And one more thing I noticed,with BAE's terrible form lately,we simply have no attacking full backs and it's costing us.
 
VDV is always too far from Adebayor.....its not good enough, Ade is isolated and also we never have anyone in the box when we cross the ball in

soo feckin frustrating
 
Why does VDV have to keep dropping deep to pick up the ball. He gets a lot of cheap posesion that way, but I would prefer him to just stick to the hole in front of Adebayor. I cant imagine that this is part of some great tactical plan. Harry needs to sort it.

We actually played 4-5-1 today, as opposed to 4-4-1-1 that we usually play with VDV and Ade up top. I just don't understand why we did it.

Which would be fine if Ade didn't have a brick first touch. Drogba was just as isolated as Ade....

then its a shame that in 4 years and countless transfer windows our manager hasnt managed to find us a striker or two who can do a proper job up front....dont you think?
 
I think Bale and Modric were fine.

Van der Vaart is a waste of space at the moment, slow, set pieces are poor and cant defend. He was great when he arrived but thats nearly two years ago now and he is not the same player, probably due to all his injury problems.

I have had enough of Adebayor, his miss in the first half is shocking, and why is he trying to round the keeper, i'll never know, hes never scored like that. We're playing 451, hes the only striker so he has to get us some goals. The worse thing is that hes laughing around before the game, not concentrated and even at half time when we're 1 down hes messing around.

Seriously?

You slag Modric, yet it was his bit of genius that led to Bale's goal today.

are you blind of just another Modric-phile. Parker played and excellent through ball to Ade. Ade rounded the goalkeeper. the ball fell to bale who scored. Where in that is Modric's genius?

i think his username kinda answers that:)
 
The only (and i mean only) player who can take some credibility out of the game is Scott Parker.

The rest need to take a long and hard look at themselves

we can take the 50 million from City and buy a player to play simple balls out wide for bale and lennon....whats the problem?

Pocket the ?ú50m and play Huddlestone (when fit obviously.) 8-[

Modric is a superb player but for some reason, fatigue or desire or both has looked poor for the last 9 or 10 games. Then again so have most of the players!
