Case against the defence

Recommended Posts

 

Martin as we all know is not a CB - However he has been mucked around , playing one match CB the Full Back - Result is he is ineffective at both.

Bassong is a nervous wreck - has never been a Premiership CB

Brady is a midfielder , not a Full Back so playing out of position

 Ruddy has cost us many points this season but Rudd is not a Premiership keeper and should not be played in vital relegation matches.

So we are left with a back four and keeper who are inadequate for Premier League and only 1 replacement Klose who is untried - we need more than Klose in transfer window if we are to have any hope of survival.

Why can the management not see what the fans can see week in week out ??

Ok Reading and alartz, so, just talking defence alone, as you never even mentioned midfield and up front, according to your post we need 2 new goalkeepers and 3 new defenders, all of whom must be of Premier quality, and you expect Alex to get all these from a maximum  20 million he was given for new players? And in one January window? Maybe if you guys could throw 100 mill....or even 150 mill is better...in Alexs direction,  maybe he can accomodate you.

Because they aren''t as slow as you? It could be that.

Martin has passable at rb but I''m stunned he still gets games at CB. He is a disaster waiting to happen there. Nowhere near good enough. Alex Neil had a humongous brain fart picking him over Bennett today. Surprised we didn''t bring a CB on at 3-2 or 3-3 tbh.

It''s been mentioned many times on this forum that Bennett was not available today for family reasons: wife, birth, etc.

It''s been mentioned many times on this forum that all of that was proven 100% wrong, so try again, champ.

Indeed, no one has any proof that Bennett was unavailable for any reason, all we have are the reports which say Alex picked Martin for a tactical reason, so it was a poor decision. Cmon Alex, you have learned  much taken action in your year in charge, you must see  by now Martin is a first team liability, both as a player and as captain.
