Virgo to replace Murray? Your thoughts...

[Titanic]

Who asked you, you effeminate fat waste of space?

Did I say I didn't throw around insults? I love sending them your way - it's what you're there for. I just find TCB's method of debate on subjects that needn't involve grief often involve grief.

Opening gambits like 'pathetic' and 'berk'. Unnecessary.

So f*** off yourself, shithead.

Oooh STRESSY

As for playing Mayo in the defensive role in midfield, I have no real issue with that (he can, and has, do a perfectly good job there. Some might have an issue, but that's their problem.

But he has hardly played in midfield since the 2 seasons where we finished 91st.

No, not really - that's par for the course when addressing Algae.

It's all he's worthy of.

He played a few times under McGhee.

I know I'm getting grief for this opinion, but I still think he can do a job there.

Calm down ladies , these posts might be be read out over the air , tomorrow.

Is that meant to represent our 'help yourself' midfield without Virgo, McLeod, Livermore or El Abd ?

 

[Elder for England]

Certainly.

As the pre-season matches went on, the team - as a whole - should have been improving, in terms of fitness and team-play, their playing qualities. e.g. positional sense, passing, team-work, work-rate - all the stuff they know about of course, but could have gone rusty about during their summer break.

As each game went on, most, if not all players were getting to 'match-fitness' levels. Not all.

What worried me was that, each time Livermore played, I felt he neither helped the defence, nor the attack, often had the game pass him by and was generally ineffective, and didn't contribute as much as he could or should have at a time when this could not really be said of the other midfielders.

When he was taken off, there was a marked improvement in the tempo, style and quality of the Albion's game. At first, I dismissed it as being an abberation. Unfortunately, it happened in all three games I saw him in.

I'm not saying he's shit - far from it, I'm sure he's a high-quality acquisition - merely that from the way that the rest of the squad has played alongside him and without him, Livermore doesn't either look match-fit, or isn't interested or isn't good enough, and that a midfield or El-Abd/Thomson, Fraser/Thomson, Virgo/Thomson or even (yes, really) Mayo/Thomson looks a better prospect.

Just my opinion, like.

With no rudeness.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. But I don't think it's fair to make it off the back of a couple of friendlys. Forster's fitness was questionable in a lot of those games. And, if I'm honest, many, if not the majority of players didn't look too good either, except McCleod who looked consistently very good, in my opinion. Livermore may turn out the way you have viewed him, but for now I'm going to see.

I know I'm getting grief for this opinion, but I still think he can do a job there.

The further we have gone up the leagues, the more he has looked out of his depth in midfield.

His best position now is probably the left side of a 3 man defence.

Should be Forster and Loft up front anyway

I haven't had lunch yet

Not at all. I think the most ridiculous thing you've said on this thread is that Mayo could possibly play in midfield. However, as you've seen Mayo play, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, I'm not calling that 'pathetic.' I disagree, but I see no problem with you having that opinion.

When it comes to having a problem with a player who has never actually played for us (bar a few meaningless kickabouts in Burgess Hill or wherever), then I do find that pathetic and it would seem I'm not the only one. You know damn well that if I had slagged off a new signing without seeing him you'd have been in a like a shot to stick the boot in.

I find your totally unjustified sense of superiority in arguments (particularly when, from what I can tell, you're arguing with people who see a lot more of the albion than you) unnecessary.

I HAVE NOT SLAGGED OFF LIVERMORE. f***ing hell.

You say I have a right to an opinion, then dismiss it as 'pathetic'. You then continue (in this 'debate') with unnecessary name-calling (I'm not about Algae here - he's different). Then you say my opinion is now carrying 'an unjustified sense of superiority'? If I'm 'superior', where is your position, relative to this?

You then say 'I'm not the only one [to share this opinion]?' So what, are opinions arrived at by a democracy now?

Somehow, with these mixed messages, I'm not convinced you do respect my right to an opinion.

 

[Mendoza]

I'm actually really surprised Doug hasn't even been on the bench yet this season.

thats what im thinking, he was carrying an injury, but he was brilliant upfront against Luton last season and scored a long ranger against Lewes.

He runs more than the other option 2, and him and forster should cause there big defenders loads of problems

Agreed.

Admittedly, I was mainly talking of midfielders, and more specifically, the central midfield pairing (something that has been talked about many times on here over the years).

I can't believe this cretin is for real you know Bulldog.Hes an utter cock on nsc and a bigger one in the flesh.In fact a complete arse licker.When he found out who i was at the Bournemouth game,i don't think i brought another pint the rest of the afternoon.Trouble is i couldn't shake him off after that.Believe me mate,i've met some right spanners in my life but he tops the lot.
