Better without Frutos and Carole

[The Oldman]

Surprised how little comment on here as to how much better we looked without these undoubted talented players.

We were so much more pacier and more direct. I would guess back passes from a forward position were down by 50%.

Perhaps they are not right for English cut and thrust football?

Maybe McGhee was right about the pitch. The french players cannot play well in poor English conditions.

Which shows you werent at the game yesterday, the den pitch was looking...well like a real football pitch! None of that watery mud stuff!

I would like to see how Frutos would get on in the position Hart played yesterday.

before you start shouting at people for making a completely valid point, just think about it

i said before the game yesterday before the team was read out the the pitch AND CONITIONS looked ideal for seb and frutos, although neither played

shock - two wingers with no end product are out of the side and brighton win

My point exactly, not that im complaining cause we got a result

They don't link up with the full backs, and expose us defensively, however i think they have to be played in league 1, they will rip teams apart!

I was also worried where our crosses into the box would come from. MM proved me wrong. I don't think we missed Frutos and Carole. IMO.

shock - the other away win of the season was with two French wingers.

bout sums it up tho 1 away win with them in how many?"

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

I like Frutos, although he wouldn't have worked in that system. Carole, however, is a luxury we can't afford at the moment - too lightweight, with no real crossing ability to make up for it.

 

[Father Jack]

Frutos and Carole are both very talented footballers who are committed to the cause. However i think at this stage in the season some good old fashioned grit and determination are needed. Also the two french lads are'nt used to playing as many games in a season as they have faced this year, so they could be tired etc

 

[Napper]

quality players imo but doesn't mean they are dead certs to be picked in our situation at the moment. Dropping Butters I think was a amjor call which I hope he does again

 

[Storer68]

and how do we lay two wide players if we are going to play 4-3-3-

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Frutos and Carole are an increasingly expensive commodity we cannot afford. Lots of fancy footwork but the end product is zip and their final ball into the box is woeful 95% of the time.

Phew. I thought it was only me that thought that way. I am not alone.

Yep spot on.
