The Fish 10972 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Defenders also had to do a lot more work than they should given we were humping long high balls up to a midget and our midfield couldn't go three passes without giving up the ball.

Aye that in all, the defence were under pressure consistently basically every game since Cabaye left and Pardew chucked the calmer possession game out the window. Williamson humping the ball to the opposition defensive midfielder or centre back and then completely losing his man being the main culprit for that.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We've got zero RB cover either. Another position where we've been happy to release our back-up despite the frequent number of times we needed them, to casually not replace them.

aimaad22 4222 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We ought to get 4 or 5 to have any hopes of a decent season. Â We'll get 2 more maybe. A striker and a defender. Williamson will still be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alongside the hope there wont be any place for him in the team anyway supposing McClaren will actually try to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 A double signing of a striker and centre half would go some way to calming things down, I think. They reckon Mbemba is only 20 but he's from the Congo so his real age is probably about 28 so he should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ok, because I'm purely talking about the scouts.  Carr has delivered time and again and it's only our coaching (or lack of) and transfer policy that means we're doing as badly as we are.  Since Carr we've not been short of good players. Imagine the side we could have had if we'd bought who we have, but not sold without a fight.   Krul Debuchy/Janmaat Colo Mbiwa/Taylor Lascelle Santon/Haidara Tiote/Colback/Abeid Cabaye/Sissoko/de Jong/Cabella Ben Arfa-----------------------------------------------Aarons Ba Cisse Not bad, eh? @@The Fish   He was also in your dream team the same month.

We're definitely taking our sweet time in getting the players we need though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
