For those who want to play Parker over Sandro I hope you all payed attention at the Euros. Its very easy for good skillful players to bypass Parker, I fear having him in the team against the likes of Mata, Hazard and Oscar.
I strongly doubt he'd be ahead of Sandro in any Avi B team, mate
The Freund appointment seemed to come out of no where, but that makes it seem whoever made the decision knew what they were doing. You need a mix of temperaments and characteristics in the coaching staff. A fiery motivational type who the players can approach is useful, although AVB is fiery enough during games and is approachable according to the players (Sandro and someone else said similar).
it would be sandro for me, but parker would be getting plenty of game time, I'd be rotating the arse out of sandro and parker to keep them both fresh, but sandro would be my no. 1.
Sandro the starter, Scotty the cover/relief for me...
It was an aspect I was worried about when we appointed AVB, I wasn't sure who was going to do the motivational side. That's one thing you simply couldn't level against Redknapp's side, with Harry, Bond and Jordon we were always going to be up for it.
I agree fully. Sandro has been getting back to his beastly ways this season, should start most games and certainly start all big games.
I think Sandro and Dempsey together should make us very solid defensively this season.
Well he offers little going forward anyway.
Can i just say that double 360 on the floor whilst keeping hold of the ball and then taking it away under control was an immense move today. His passing leaves alot to be desired but everything he is there to do he does very well. Good game.
