I don't have a problem with them in fact it's better than punting it 60 yards with a 50-50 chance of wining the ball BUT please don't pass to El-Abd it will only end in tears.
I did find it a bit odd that the majority of the time they went to Adam, rather than Tommy, who in my opinion (and I imagine most) is much better with the ball at his feet.
I think Walsall also quickly realised Adam didn't really like it at his feet.

I don't think it was necessarily El-Abd..
Wallsall had obviously been alerted to the fact we like to play it out of defence- they stifled our midfielders as options and had their forwards press our defenders and goalkeepers. Poyet realised this and in the second half Ankergren took long kicks.
Might I add, Ankergren kicked exceptionally well into the wind yesterday..
