2bias 3 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Not a bad performance. I think Ba needs to get a goal under his belt before the season starts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14020 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 tomziemer Tom ZiemerAll of a sudden, the #nufc midfield looks crowded. HBA, Cabaye, Tiote, Barton, Jonas, Marveaux, Gosling, Abeid, Vuckic, . Nice depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've said this before, our midfield has undoubtedly improved since last year and is the best its been for a very long time. The best since Solano, Robert, Dyer, Speed in 2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14020 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If HBA can get properly fit & perform without being kicked to death, yes if not no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best since Solano, Robert, Dyer, Speed in 2002? I'd agree. If Marveaux, Gosling and Abeid are canny, then we have attacking minded options off the bench which is what we were missing.

nortoon 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Really liked Gosling from the highlights, same with Marveaux. Think Ba should have gotten one though. Cant wait to actually get to see a match soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we just rely on HBA, We got a good bunch of players in midfield and the new players are looking good. Gosling was really good against The Crew and that Abeid looks alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4858 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Going to be a bit of a headache picking the right midfield, particularly if Gosling continues in that form. Nice problem to have. Now just find someone to finish!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoCo85 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Gosling looks like he is chomping at the bit. Tidy little finish from Vuckic. Seemed like quite a good run out from the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7576 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Wonder what Gosling's preferred position is. Used like a jack of all trades by Everton. We'll be needing someone to cover for Tiote's suspensions - hopefully Smith is not an option. The only area that he can match it with Cheick is in obtaining cards.

The Fish 10977 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've said this before, our midfield has undoubtedly improved since last year and is the best its been for a very long time. The best since Solano, Robert, Dyer, Speed in 2002? I'll agree when I've seen more of the quality we can expect from deadballs. Nobby and Larry were something else. Wasn't Solano said to have the best delivery from wide positions after Beckham? and Robert... well we all remember Man U, Ipswich, Derby etc. but the one against Southampton was something else. We are still quite under-staffed up front though and that is a major concern for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one i didnt write which says better than or the one i wrote which says best since? Ignoring this for one moment, i would agree that wide delivery from Solano and Robert was magnificent and amongst the best in recent premiership history. We've got more depth and a stronger middle now than then but since the real ammunition was coming from out wide that 2002 midfield was more 'dangerous' © Parky.

It was the two against Spurs I will always remember. Both put in to goal of the season competition as well. On the day he said he wasn't feeling well too!
