Howaythelads 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 (edited) ...our best team? I think there were only 3 players missing from yesterdays team that some may debate could (on paper) improve the side. Carr, Boumsong and Luque. Carr was good for a couple of seasons at Spurs, then actually excellent for one season when he looked like the best right back in the division at that time. He got that bad injury and we signed him, I don't think he'll ever be that good again, so is Ramage an inferior player? Maybe, but not by much, at least defensively. I don't think Carr is really missed that much. Boumsong has been poor this season. Could be a blip, like. Maybe Bramble/Taylor is a better partnership anyway, and that's important for centre backs. Is Boumsong missed much? I doubt it. Luque hasn't played enough yet for anybody to make a judgement of how he'll perform in this league. But let's assume he's better than Zog. On that basis, I'd say Luque may have been the only player missing yesterday who might have made a difference. So, from 4th, 3rd and 5th plus £50m spent we saw almost a full strength team yesterday of... Given Ramage, Bramble, Taylor, Babayaro Solano, Parker, Emre, Zog Shearer, Owen. Put Luque in for Zog and that's about it, I reckon. Scary stuff, iibafhwe. Edited November 6, 2005 by Howaythelads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll click shortly but i have to admit if it doesn't happen shortly it's looking ver scary.

Dum di dum di dum dum. I take it you're another joker who believes it's fine to abuse/insult people, and then get ridiculously self righteous when somebody retaliates?

Anyway, I'd prefer to talk about football, which is what I was doing in this thread before you childishly sidetracked it. The lack of response is to do with an inability from anyone to back up a contrary position. There is simply no argument, is there? Unless you think that the team yesterday was short of loads of first choice players? Is that what you think? No, I don't think you do. You wouldn't be able to back that up. People should be worried. £50 million is a lot of cash if we don't go on to qualify for Europe to get some of it back.

Bombadil 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Can't argue with that. It was virtually a full-strength team, with the exception of Luque, Dyer and a quality right-back. The only thing you could say in defence of Souness is that his players haven't had time to gel yet, but I'm not sure about that. Hopefully he can use the international break to work on that. It was absolutely vital to pick up three points yesterday and it's good to see us go on a little run, but it's worth keeping in mind that it's certainly been a very easy run of games recently and if performances don't improve soon, we won't win too many games between now and Christmas. I hope he plays Luque up front when he gets back - if he doesn't, we need a new striker in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too far away from the mentioned 4 wins, against poor teams, all of whom had grounds for feeling they at least matched us, or looking at it the other way round, we were as bad as them. And unfortunately, we still aren't in the top 4/5 position we were in before Souness arrived. The post from isegrim is good reading.

Anyway, I'd like to get the kind of optimism other do have. Of course results are great at the moment. But for me just winning against the likes of WBA isn't good enough (I haven't seen that game). It's the same as last year when we beat Israeli pub tems etc. But with a nearly full squad struggling against Birmingham and being played off the pitch by Sunderland in the 2nd half is worrying even if in the end the games were won.
