**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

You got to look out for form really. QPR are dropping like a stone, everything to play for (well not anymore really) but no form. If our form was good enough it wouldn't matter anyway. WHen you're in poor form everything looks difficult. When in good everything looks winnable. The pressure of not winning builds up.

We are in big trouble if he thinks Danny Rose is better than Ekotto.

I like AVB, but it would be bordering on stupidity to make Danny Rose our first choice left back.

What exactly has Ekotto done so wrong to fall out of favour?

TBH, Benny has hardly set things on fire this season (when he has been played of course). Nowhere near last seasons standard.
Rose has been very consistant for Sunderland I hear

How long's he got remaining on his contract?

I've read Monaco are interested in him and Benny did say when Modric wanted away, "a football player could be expected to transfer to a new club if his parent club failed to match other teams' higher wage offers.

He hasn't exactly done much right since AVB came here. BAE is 29 now and AVB has to think about the longer term. We'll stick with what we have until someone better becomes available, but we won't necessarily wait until a change has to happen. Kind of like how we went for Lloris last summer because he became available.

It's about how the players are going to be used. If you want a full back with excellent passing ability that can release your world class winger in Bale, then go with Benny. If you need a pacey option that can provide real width in his own right and get to the byline and cross, Rose is probably your man.

How about someone who can defend?

Rose has been good defensively at Sunderland, can only assume you haven't watched him.


Just needs to avoid doing stupid lunging challenges from time to time.

Yeah we already have one fullback who does that.

I admit I haven't watched every game they've played, but you reckon he could make the step up from starting for Sunderland every week to starting for a top 4 calibre side? Personally I think we need to find better.

Huh?

Walker doesn't do that. Walker does the silly cynical fouls. Rose throws himself two footed at the nearest person every so often.


Personally i think that if we are planning to get rid of bae we should keep Rose. Not as starter, but as backup for the bae replacement, or just a different tactical option.

Wigan are down. They're never gonna get results against City and Arsenal away and us at home. They're fudged and I suspect they know it.

Not sure I agree with this at all. Lets assume that they beat Villa on the final day - that means they're level with Villa and have 1 better GD so they just need to match Villa between now and then.

Villa have Utd, Chelsea, Sunderland (h) and Norwich (a) - are they going to get much from those games? 2 -4 points perhaps?

Wigan have Us, West Brom, Swansea (h) and Arse (a). I think Wigan can get as many from those 4 as Villa will get from their 4. Wigan then just need to beat Villa at home to stay up

He doesn't dive in like Rose but he gives away too many needless free kicks, many in dangerous positions.
 
Been at the foolham game today. Clucking bell Arsenal are so lucky 2 major decisions went their way Sidwell sending off and Fulham disallowed goal. Need to see them both on motd.
