Beauseant 0 Posted October 1, 2009 John Robertson was pretty sluggish but was also one of the best wingers I''ve ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hugoagogo 0 Posted October 1, 2009 He is more of a right winger than a centre forward and a damn sight better bet than chubbs McVeigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Wal 314 Posted October 1, 2009 You''ve answered your own question .... McVeigh played right midfield .... Chris Martin is a right winger ...... It depends upon what the manager wants and when. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin is a striker, we have wasted too many strikers by playing them on the right wing, lets not make the same mistake with Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6088m canary 0 Posted October 1, 2009 hmmmm would this be the Giggs who used to run defences ragged in his youth on the wing?!?!?! :s :SThese days hes lost a bit of pace but is such a gifted footballer he can float in the centre-out to the flanks and pick a pass.Now Beckham would be a far better comparison...doesnt need to beat his man as has an excellent delivery, not that mr lappin is in the same class of course :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Whaley is fast and is oon loan at Rochdale... what does that say about what Lambert thinks of him? It''s clear Lambert wants more pace as he is blooding young daley. However, if you have the skill and the precision in your last ball that Lappin does you don''t have to have the speed.I''d start Martin on the right today, pin their defence back.

McVeigh and Lappin have both had positive impacts upon team performance since they have been involved in the team set up again under Lambert.It is well known that Lambert wants to bring a winger or two with pace in, yet these two individuals will still have something to offer our squad while we are playing at this level in my opinion.

coops 0 Posted October 4, 2009 John Barnes and Chris Waddle were slow but had great skill. Also Beckham never had any pace but you don''t need pace if you can deliver a cross/free kick like him.

venta icenorum 0 Posted October 4, 2009 I just find your opinion on McVeigh a bit narrow minded, he is still a quality player. As you say, he hasn''t scored like the impressive Martin has, but I wouldn''t necessarily expect him to score that many playing on the wing. Neither would I expect them to be competing for one place. We need a decent squad and McVeigh is a good squad member to have around, he has the experience to balance the side too. If he''s fit enough for Lambert to pick him then what has his weight/build got to do with it? Do you think he''s too short to play for Norwich too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellis206 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Bit of a stupid post to be honest, McVeigh has never been quick, his game has always been about technical ability and his passing ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
