David Kelly 1260 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I'm not a Gutherie fan, far from it, I was oppose to his signing as I thought it was the signing of this type of player for the club was a step backwards and as far as I'm concerned I've been proved right. As it's transpired he's proved an ok squad player and in the second half of last season he was a key player in the middle of the park. That last bit is key though as for the first half of last year he was fucking gash in the championship on the right of midfield. In the premier league he's not even that good. He's a fucking liability! He won't even try to provide any width and that leaves us massively unbalanced and Simpson with no support whatsoever. I know Routledge has been massively disapointing this season but at least he balances the team out and there's a hope he might produce something. I have no hope at all in Guthrie and in fact my spirits sink everytime I see his name on the teamsheet. We won't win a game this season with him on the right and Hughton has to end it now!

Kid Dynamite 7204 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Still better than a midfield 4 of Smith, Barton, Butt and Geremi like under FS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yes, Guthrie is better on the wing than Smith or Geremi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Well it may have passed you by but Geremi no longer plays for the club and Smith's never been played there. Do you have a point here you plumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 And he's not better than Geremi anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 not quick enough on the right. works hard, but not good enough. in the centre he'd be our 3rd midfielder if we had barton/tiote playing through the middle.... thus only really used when we needed to control a game. doesnt offer the relative goal threat that nolan does...

Doesn't work hard on the right though. When Barton plays there he comes inside a lot but works hard to get back out.. Gutherie comes inside and makes no effort at all to get back out wide.

Â Guthrie is better than Geremi and plumb is spelt plum, you plum Sorry is wanker better spelling for you? Â Guthrie cannot play on the wing and doesn't even pretend to try. Geremi was poor there but that's still better than Guthrie's lack of attempt to play there. And again, that's irrelevant as he doesn't play for us any more. Much as Ruel Fox doesn't who was also better as a right winger than Guthrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7204 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) If it's irrelevant then why did you post say Geremi was better Edited November 20, 2010 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Because I just wanted to correct you. Everything you've posted in this thread has been irrelevant to point that Guthrie is shite on the right and we must stop using him there if we want to win games this season.

LeazesMag 0 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 should have taken Keith Gillespie back on loan. Â He'd probably sign for a grand a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffidae 0 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I presume Guthrie is in ahead of Routledge because of his dead ball abilities, no one else is capable in the rest of the team once Barton is out, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that said but I don't see much product at all from his dead balls. I think he has a better dig from freekicks than Barton but his delivery into the box is poor. We've seen it every time he plays there though, we only have Jonas as an outlet and the opposition know that and just mark him out of the game while Guthrie comes inside making everything condensed in th middle.

TicTacWoe 0 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 agree with the OP Guthrie should be backup for Barton in the centre and that's it, hopefully he improves, he's certainly decent backup for the centre though even as it is.
