Park Life 71 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 ...for the tricky run of games that is about to descend on this party. I'd seriously think about playing DEFENDER fullbacks ie Yanga at LB and Taylor at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySol 7 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 With those two as full backs you're wanting Williamson starting then? Fuck that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yeah meant Haidara at LB. Got a good meaty tackle on him... *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Agree. Taylor is a bit of liability at CB but has put in some decent performances at RB. I bet Pardew whinged like a bitch to get Debussy signed so dropping him might be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeris 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well, obviously Debbie needs to play so we can sell the fuck poor cunt in January. Plays consistently shite and has an attitude. Don't know what attributes he has that makes him an international player, they probably lack options in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4086 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He did fine in the previous two games, in fact he was excellent at Villa. Keep your pants on.Not saying he's going to be a huge hit for us, he has to start playing well consistently. But the way some people are going on since yesterday is ridiculous.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 How many times have i got to say this.Santon and Debuchy cannot defend.They may add to our attacking moves but far too often defend as defenders who cannot defend defend.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Haidara at left back for me, he looks solid. Simpson was better than debuchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I remember when Colo was abysmal and couldn't defend. It's a learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 So you think they will both learn how to defend.Simpson was a better defender than Debuchy and he was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Haidara's played about three games for us man. How anyone can confidently assess that he's the answer to our problems us beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 When Pardew looks at defenders does he not think `can he defend' because it would be the first thing i would think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1217 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 There's no way we could play the system we're looking to play with the likes of Taylor at rightback imo. We need the fullbacks to provide width overlapping Remy and HBA. The problem we're having is the problem inherent in this system and you see other clubs (better teams than us) having to deal with it too. This doesn't absolve either fullback from having poor games on Saturday nor does it mean they don't have to defend. But you have to be able to get a balance like we did well against Villa and in the second half against Fulham. Aginst Hull it all went wrong though. A fair part of that was because of Ben Arfa's shite game and Sissoko not being involved enough imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21760 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing santon playing right back, on his natural foot, with haidera given a go at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I bet Santon is twice the right back than he is left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithJ 0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 To be honest, Simpson isn't as bad as people made out. His first season he reminded me of a dog in the park. He was so excited to see the football he would run his hardest to get it. People forget that Simpson made a lot of goal line clearances that won us games. He did have the odd lapse but I would have signed the lad on a new contract. I agree with Santon on the right but I would play Dummett on the left. That lad proved against Nevas he was no mug. He is quite quick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21760 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 He was a good athlete and he could defend ok. Not much of a footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
