[Football] Adam Lallana ****Singed****

[nwgull]

Slight straw clutching but that might just be gamesmanship to mislead opposition...

Not sure Potter’s that type of manager. Probably be back after the Newport cup game.

 

[Lower West Stander]

We just can’t rely on him. Can’t help thinking he’s shot.

You can’t keep starting him in games only for him to go off with results still at stake. Alzate wasn’t up to it when he came on but was needed for the shape.

I’d rather start with 11 fit players and be able to make a decision as to when to substitute them. Welbeck has been a far better free transfer.

He’s not shot, he still has undoubted quality when you get him on the ball.

But I do agree, this whole ‘sub him off at half-time’ routine is getting a bit silly. I’d rather him play the whole 90mins and miss the next game, rather than having to make wholesale changes every half.

Let’s see how it goes.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Must have made decision himself. Just before half time was thinking hasnt got forward in support of forwards

He was shown sat in the stand so presumably no lengthy treatment.

Perhaps playing him further forward where his defensive responsibilities are lessened
That said he does seem keen on pressing the opposition
But generally does not get much assistance from his team mates
If GP does not fancy the likes of Molumby or Alzate alongside Biss fingers crossed Moder will fill that position

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Laughable giving a 3 year a contract to a sicknote who takes the pace out of virtually every attack we get

The issue is that we are not taking our chances and killing the game when Llana is on and fit. If we did that then having him play one half would not be an issue.

Obvious nonsense, but you lose a bit having someone who can't get around the pitch and it limits the subs you can make knowing you've always got to keep one back for him when he's on the pitch

I know nothing about Molder but given that most new foreign intakes have been given months before being integrated I wouldnt hold out too much hope

 

[amexer]

At beginning of season often in and around box supporting front players. Last 2 games spent most of time round half way line

Scully could fill the position!

 

[Weststander]

Quality.

With his recent LFC injury record, I thought he’d miss most games. But he’s shone in a load of games already.

Unlike every other creator in our squad, he’s ALWAYS forward thinking and forward passing, his footballing brain one step ahead, composed in midfield EPL maelstroms.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Must have passed our strict medical tests, so presumably was ‘fit enough’ when he signed.

Valid point I’m hoping he gets fast tracked ala Tariq
Especially as he don’t seem to trust the other youngsters just yet

The BBC website had an "average position" graphic for the first half. Lallana's position was EXACTLY on the half-way line.... [But Welbeck, Maupay, March, Trossard and White were all ahead of him, so it seems he was given a slightly deeper role today, presumably to provide the creative link between the back three and the forward players (along with Biss]

 

[Badger Boy]

Personally, I think he's a luxury we absolutely do not need. He's getting in the way of Alzate getting a settled place in the team. Jakub Moder when he's around the squad, or Davy Propper who was on the bench today, should be ahead of him in this formation. Personally, I wouldn't be playing this formation. I'd have 4-2-3-1 with Mac Allister/Gross playing as the number 10 (their preferred position) with Maupay/Welbeck as the number 9 with attacking options around them actually playing wide.

 

[SimpKingpin]

Needs to be playing as a number 10.
He is the creative spark and can do some nice quick one-touch interchanges with Welbeck.
Hate where he's been playing lately, back with Bissouma. Seems a waste.

I actually quite like White with Bissouma in the middle. It's rock solid.
And White has the vision to pick out forward runs, with precision passes. At least, I wish he would do it more.

Gutted to hear the news about Lamptey...
If we intend to always play three at the back, the wingbacks need to be able to carry the ball quickly, dribble, cross, get in the box - everything Lamptey and March can do.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Brilliant player. Class, great to watch and so important to us.

Wish he was able to play more minutes but if he was, he probably wouldn’t be with us now and would be playing at a higher level still.

They're definitely rock solid together but neither are playmakers. They would be fine together in games we're looking to play more defensively but otherwise Bissouma needs a Lallana/Gross/Propper type next to him.
