Titus Bramble

[Scottish Mag 3]

I thought he had a great game yesterday, i see some in their ratings thing also have him in the top three and he made it into the Sky Sports team of the week. However i see lazy journalists are still continuing to post about his "comical defending".

 

 

From the Telegraph :

 

there was also some sporadic classic comedic defending from Souness's men, with Celstine Babayaro and Titus Bramble tending to feature in the most entertaining cameos.

BBC Newcastle said he was generally good apart from his decicion making under pressure.

Is that written by the Mackem lover Louise Taylor by any chance? If so ignore it.

His distribution was good yesterday too.

 

I haven't seen every game this season but does Boumsong look happier alongside Titus rather than Taylor?

[peasepud 59]

I thought he had an excellent game yesterday. Made very few mistakes and as said already his distribution was good. I seem to remember one pass in the second half diagonally across the pitch from under pressure direct to his intended target (might have been Charlie, cant quite remember!).

He's in Sky Sports team of the day along with Owen so he can't have been that bad.

He won everything in the air, and played a tremendous 40 yard pass to Owen.

 

The only error he made resulted in the disallowed goal, when he tried to play his way out of trouble. He dithered and allowed himself to be closed down, and instead of clearing it out of danger, he tried to play himself out of it and made the situation worse.

 

We could have easily been talking about how Bramble's mistake cost us the three points, and would have forgotten how well he played otherwise.

But that's always the problem - for 89 minutes he looks top class and then............

 

I always thought Woodward was very good at keeping him focused and awake - we need soemoen else out here who can do the same

 

EDIT of course I meant Woodgate... I think......

Bramble had an excellent game as he was doing frequently last season before the injury. His heading and tackling were top class including one absolutley crucial challenge near the 6 yard box.

 

Also his distribution, including some long passes across the pitch were impressive as usual.

 

And Boumsong whilst not great was better than recently so it may be that Bramble has as much of a positive effect on Boum as people were giving credit to Boum for improving Titus.

I read reports from the game in all the newspapers online.

[TheInspiration 1]

I think 3-5-2 might be worth a try...

 

We can get rid of our full-backs and make more use of our midfield.

 

Nah, maybe not - Babayaro and Carr been playing pretty well actually.

It is, was and ever shall be a steaming pile of shite in the premiership. In the hands of Robson who knew something about tactis it was an embarassing load of bollocks, the thought of it being tried now would be seriously disturbing.

[TheInspiration 1]

It's never really worked tbh. If we really wanted 5 midfielders 4-5-1 would be our best bet. But of course we aren't a team of negative football...

[Guest Sima]

I still have nightmares about 3-5-2 against Spurs.

Has any team ever made it work in this country?

Not to any degree of success. All the top teams used 4-4-2 to win things, 3-5-2 was used by dull, mid table teams who went nowhere but thought it was clever and inventive.

I think Liverpool dallied with it when they had Babb-Ruddock-Scales.

 

Probably coincided with their no trophies phase.

[Guest alex]

The problem with 3-5-2 or variations on it are that the wing backs are absolutely crucial. I don't think Carr or Babayaro are good enough defensively or in an attacking sense for it to work for us.

Bramble made two superb tackles second half like, did Ms Taylor metion them?

[luckyluke 2]

How did Boumsong play? The News of the World (my housemate bought it) gave him 4/10, saying if he was worth £8m then your average pub player was worth £4m.
