[quote user="ReadingCanary"]Elmander sounds really good.Elmander behind RVW on Saturday anyone?[/quote] Yes please.

[quote user="HoltsDerbyDayHattrick"]Every single post you have done in this thread Scooby is moaning. Fact![/quote] Lol, 2 posts, 2 facts, oh I''m now 3 for 3, sorry :-)

[quote user="HoltsDerbyDayHattrick"]Mmmm, Scooby - Posts - Moaning[/quote] I fail to see how stating a fact constitutes moaning. And I know I''m not the only one who''s worked out that the majority of Snodders free kicks, when aimed at goal, hit the wall. He rarely goes high or wide, he likes to hit the wall. Sorry if you don''t like it. I would dearly love him to put one in the top corner but so far the wall is 2 for 2. Fact.

Mmmm, Snodders - free kick - wall

Snodgrass free kick low into the wall. Deja vu anyone ?

[quote user="Citizen Journalist Foghorn"]I think Garrido''s game was affected by the lack of cover offered by Redmond, and indeed, Redmond spending much of the game in a more central position.[/quote] Exactly Foghorn. Garrido is a decent fullback and, as everyone has conveniently forgotten, one of our most consistent performers of last season. I think that it is pathetic how everyone has jumped on the anti Garrido bandwagon. You try playing behind someone who offers you no assistance at all defensively. Redmond, for all his fine attacking flair has absolutely no defensive brain at all. He cuts in, loses the ball, they counter right, 2 on 1, simples. Redmond was without doubt at fault for Evertons 2nd last week as he completely lost Coleman and just stood marking space on the edge of the area. Now we know that some so called experts on here lay the blame firmly at Garrido''s door as they scored down the right and he''s the left back. Clueless. Leave the guy alone muppets, he''s a quality full back.

[quote user="Joanna Grey"]It''s quite simple, Redmond works best on the right, Olsson on the left. That''s how we should have started yesterday.[/quote] ***K me Joanna !!! For once you have hit the nail firmly on the head !!! I keep saying, play Redmond on the right !!!!!! It''s not rocket science. Play him on the left and he cuts in, and cuts in, and cuts in (get the picture) and sometimes shoots, not that he''s troubled anyone yet, or passes square. Then, off we go to the other wing for more of the same from Snodders. Now, play him on the right, and I don''t think you''ll find a left back who can keep up, he gets to the by line, hits it accross the 6 yard, chips to the back post, pulls it back to the onrushing midfield ....... See a picture forming??? CHANCES CREATED !!! Most teams would love to have a player with the pace and trickery of Redmond. We have him and don''t F******G USE HIM!!!!!!! GRRRRRR Rant over. Oh yes, and Olsson on the left mid please. He was excellent against the Greeks in the first half and worked very well with Garrido.. No need for another winger.

Mmmmm. OK, slept on it too. Naaaah, enough is enough. Come on LDC old chap, wake up and smell the bottom three. Did it look like we were actually trying something different? Did it look like Hughton was attempting to utilise our new assets? I would suggest not. It sounds to me that he has just bought more expensive pieces for his lego set but still cant use them to build anything useful. If you have a car with one wheel missing and then replace the 3 wheels with shiny new ones, and better tyres, well .... you still have a car with one wheel missing. Not going to get far in it are you. Yeah, sometimes I have no idea what I''m on about either.

Quote: Snoddy came on and instantly we looked better, passing the ball from wing to wing. Just about sums it up really doesn''t it? We''re good at that aren''t we, it''s just passing it to the striker in the box that lets us down.

[quote user="lincoln canary"]Oh well another standard Saturday with Hughton in charge. Can''t see him lasting till Christmas.[/quote] It may have been said in jest, or in the heat of the moment but I fear that you may not be too wide of the mark. McNasty is not going to stand for his 20 million plus investment being used quite so ineptly. We have, supposedly, upgraded the playing staff, so one may have to ask, between today''s performance and last seasons poor goal scoring record what is the common denominator. It wont take a genius to work out that it is probably the tactics, ergo the manager/coaches. I doubt that we were the only ones who wondered at today''s team selection and inability to score against 10 men for over an hour.

[quote user="HerefordCanary"]Never a pen! http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/robbie-brady-hull-pen-1-0-v-norwich/[/quote] How the **** is that ever a penalty??

OK, who is actually at the game and who is watching on TV?

[quote user="Dandy Mountfarto"]Who''d have thought we''d look poor in possession without Hoolahan on the pitch, its not like it happens everytime we drop him or anything.[/quote] This

Don''t get it. Are we playing with one winger? Please tell me he''s not going to waste Fer out wide.

An absolute classic Robornio!! I''ve been trying to fit lyrics to it ever since he signed. How about, after the aaaaaahooooooooo Van Wolfswinkel of Norwich. Fits very well if you time the "wolf..." where the "Were..." starts.

Lots of similar line ups but, as we''re away; Ruddy Whittaker - Turner -Bassong - Garrido Tettey - Fer Redmond - Elmander - Olsson RvW Of course that is fitness dependant. If fit, I would put Snodders and Pilks for Redmond and Olsson.

It''s probably linked to the same computer system that controls the new entry system.

Yeah, ok. .......... Oops sorrrrry.

I''m going to with a home win for Bayern Munich this week please. Good luck Jelly

I''ve seen multiple user names on here before but this is getting ridiculous ! Can''t wait until school starts back.

[quote user="Yelloow Since 72 I still don''t see Elmander as just filling the 3rd striker slot. There''s more to his game than that and it''s not the way CH thinks. Much may depend on his fitness as to whether he will start games or come on as an impact sub, but I think he can provide that vital link between midfield (especially Fer) and the striker(s) as well as wide players cutting in. The fact that he will add goals too is a major bonus. quote] Yup, what he said.

Would someone please tell me where this stat about Snodgrass''s free kicks can be found? Frankly I find it hard to believe.

Brilliant bit of business by McNasty and CH, and all concerned. I''m frankly quite worried by anyone who doesn''t think so. I can see a Johnson, Fer, Elmander, and RvW line up the middle of the park. Pilks/ Redders, Snodders/ Benno out wide. Bob''s yer cliche.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Mmmmm, that serious that he managed to play the full 90mins on it? You really must try harder.
