Dean Coneys boots 1,531 Posted August 26, 2004 Was it just me or did Leon hold up the ball brilliantly for the second? So why is he not playing? He CAN hold the ball up and he had an instant impact on the game. Now.... if Huckerby moved to left wingBentley centre midFrancis def midDoc/new man & Leon up front?what do you think?

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted August 26, 2004 You''re right Vicar. He did hold it up brilliantly.If Worthy is going to use Leon mainly as a sub, I think he could well be brought on earlier to good effect.But he should also be given some starts once September arrives in order to see how he goes.

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted August 26, 2004 We looked so much better when Bentley came off, Hucks switched to the left and Leon came on. No disrespect to Bentley because he took his goal really well and showed some great skill, but on Saturday I think it should be:GreenoEddy Flem Charlton DruryWLY Franny Holt HucksDoc McKenzieKeep the faith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Canary 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Sorry but I don''t think we could start a game with Hux left-wing. He would leave drury too exposed it''s an option we have to change things around but I don''t think we will see it too much as a starting line-up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame to Blame 108 Posted August 26, 2004 Im sorry DumbleDelia but i have to disagree with the bently remark , i thought he had his best game to date and i was surprised when worthy took him off , Bently is a must IMO as he can produce something out of nothing and we don''t have to many of those in the side.

Nepturamus 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Totally agree with DD. After Andy Gray''s berating of the decision to take Bentley off - Huckerby on the left caused havoc (all be it against tired legs) and Leon & Doc''s ariel ability and hold-up play caused real problems.It''s all about the balance of protecting the full backs but still having attacking width, and accommodating our defensive midfielders but with a willingness to get in the box (like all the top clubs seem to - did Newcastle have 6 on 4 at one point in the 2nd half?)With Francis teeing up of Leon, forget the Viera tag, I''m see more of a Pires likeness ;0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
