    What do you base playing Martin up front on? He isn't Stiepermann?

    I haven't heard any moans about Sorenson getting booked every game and getting the run around because he isn't a full back.

    Whatever our feelings, and mine used to be that Emi should play no10, the fact is we are top of the table and unbeaten in 10 with DF making the decisions using his tactics.

    Purely that he has pace, so he'll at least be able to make the runs into the box for Placheta.  To be honest I'd take literally anyone in the squad playing up top ahead of Steipermann 😄

    I must be watching a different game. I didn't see Marco blowing out of his ares. I saw him getting less decent ball because we were defending deeper and deeper and the gap between attack sand defence was widening. So the attack drops deeper or else they are running for nothing and in doing so we give two thirds of the pitch to the opposition.

    I did see maybe the quickest player on the pitch, Placheta, not brave enough to go on his own but stopping and waiting. It was just the time for a winger to hold on to the ball and drag play into the corners.

    Do you honestly believe it would have been any different with Dickson Peters on?

    You certainly were watching a different game, it was clear as the nose on your face Marco was done in after about 50 minutes, and the main reason Placheta had to keep stopping and waiting as Marco was nowhere to be found in an attacking sense.

    Would it have been different with one of the kids on? Don't know, never actually said it would be, my argument is countering those who seem to think it would have been dangerous to try.

    Oh well onto Luton, one thing is for sure though, there will be a few of us not very happy if Marco is starting up front again, personally with Buendia back, I'd rather play we play Martin up top.

    It seems we've gone from praising the Academy days ago at the AGM to saying that the best they have is worth than an exhausted midfielder filling in as a striker who'd had a god awful match. 

    But you need to be careful, as any suggestion Farke cost us points will result in you being told you're talking garbage and stupid. They won't tell you why, just that you are. It's like debating a devout Catholic about papal infallibility.

    I'm not even saying Farke cost us points, I just don't get the argument that one of them wasn't worth a 10 minute cameo for a player who was a spent force in this game, and actually keeping Marco on in that condition could have lumped us with yet another muscle based injury to deal with.

    If we are saying these kids are nowhere near 1st team level, then Farke better put his stubborness to one side and make up with Leitner then.

    Exactly.

    But surely even knowing nothing about the options on the bench, they simply could not have offered less than a player who'd offered nothing as a striker all game, and was blowing out of his **** so hard I could have beat him in a sprint?  If we are seriously saying the alternative in the last 10 minutes was even worse, then they may as well give up their dream of professional football.  This isn't a dig at Marco either, but he is simply not a striker.

    Amuses me when they go on about Howe. Have they even seen his record of spendings?

     

    How's he supposed to spend 20-40m on one awful useless donkey when they/the ipswich board would not even let him spend a tenner on one?

    Are they seriously suggesting Howe as a replacement????   They can't be that deluded that he'd want anything to do with a bang average lower league side?

    Perhaps because they disagree? If it were black and white we’d all have the same opinion.

    Disagree with what though? They're arguing against an opinion that no one has made, the debate seems to be going as follows?

     

    Person A: Why didn't Farke bring on one of the youngsters to replace Marco who was bringing nothing to the table.

    Person B: Because we can't put on a whole load of untested kids. etc etc

    Person A: But that's not what I said.

    Person B: You're clueless

     

    And so it goes on.  Argue if you think people are wrong in saying Steipermann should have been taken off if you think he shouldn't, as that's all that seems to be what people are saying.

    Well said Hoggy. Exactly this!
     

    Farke knows what level of quality he had available on the bench far more than posters who probably have never seen them play at all. There’s a reason why they haven’t featured to date and that is that Farke doesn’t feel they are ready.

    But its not exactly this is it? Because NOT ONE PERSON has said we should have brought on 5 untested kids have?  All the likes of Branston have said is why when Steipermann was clearly a spent force in this game was ONE OF THEM not worth throwing on for 10 minutes, they simply couldn't have contributed less than Marco did as a striker.

    I'm not exactly sure why people aren't understanding this?

    I think Farke was right in not bringing on 5 academy players just because they were fresher, but I don't see it would have done us any harm to utilise just one of the strikers to replace Steipermann after about 75 minutes, who was clearly blowing out of his **** at that point, and had a pretty awful game as a striker anyway. Oh and this is not a dig at Marco, but he's clearly not a striker in any way, shape or form.

    To be fair, he impressed at Vitesse and was Coventry's player of the season last season. He probably is a good player rather than a player who just had a good half a game, could easily see him getting a decent move one the footballing economy begins to improve.

    Like I said, I don't know enough of him to say either way, but just on today then I'd say no.  He seems to be highly rated, so will try and keep a look out.  Sadly though apart from our game, I actually don't pay much attention to the other Championship games, seems such a poor standard this season.

    Glad the interviewer successfully put him back in his box, Klopp needs to shut the **** up or sod off back to the German league.  I get it's a bit different this season, but him and Guardiola are always spitting their dummies out come December.

     

    They've got a 25 man squad of top quality players for a reason, plus top quality youngsters, get on with it and shut up.
