David Kelly 1224 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Santon probably but we've really struggled for leftbacks since Beresford/Elliott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5188 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Why have we struggled for leftbacks though? Why is it such a hard position to recruit for? Â Do other teams have this problem or is it just us? It's actually beyond fucking stupid that we've not addressed this properly in what, 3 years?

Liverpool certainly have, Man Utd too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5188 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So there's a national shortage of leftbacks... Fuck me. Â Can we not just buy Santon back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3353 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Jizzbuckets to scrape it 1-0, with Dummett ensuring the clean sheet with a goal line block with his left bollock, only for Jesus to be subbed on for him & then crucified for wasting a cross.

David Kelly 1224 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Diame missing is blow because I think he needs to get games under his belt to get up to speed. Â Surely we must play both Ritchie and Aarons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1224 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I might be inclined to try playing Shelvey further forward with Colback/Tiote/Anita along with Hayden behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I might be inclined to try playing Shelvey further forward with Colback/Tiote/Anita along with Hayden behind him.This could work, Shelvey is not a defensive midfielder but I think if you put two midfielders behind him and take away a lot of his defensive duties you could get the most out of him  I wish we tried it in pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 298 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I want to think Shelvey is good, but apart from that very first game, his long range passing has been worse than tiote's and his short range just as bad unless he's doing a Batty side pass.

OTF 7286 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Enrique was great for us. Colo and Enrique playing the ball out from the back in the championship were like the Harlem Globetrotters. We've got nothing like it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7286 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Shelvey is a fucking cunt. No two ways about it. Have a look at his face when he trots out onto the field, and again as he plods around the pitch avoiding putting in effort. I don't think we'll ever find out if he has any redeeming qualities as a footballer because he doesn't care enough to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
