Johnson you fecked up again

Not at all, I put an reaction on here yesterday and it seems some do Agree.

I'm Watching the West Ham vs West Brom and Pulis and Bilic respectively both agree with what I think midfielders should be doing. Strong in defence and for their current clubs 138 league games with 15 goals.

 

Because I can't be arsed to read the full thread hemsy what do you think midfielder should be doing?

 

Harry Redknapp explains Diego Costa has to understand it's a team game
What a time for Harry to say that.

Back gorund on Costa hes scored 23 in 38 games for the Premier league Champions.

But right Jose's dropped the Spanish International because he doesn't do enough for the team.

 

I don't buy into our midfielders having to have an engine to get up and down the pitch. I'd rather see us play Hourihane in a position where opponents worry about him having the ball rather than us. If the others midfielders and especially the defence were more resolute, Hourihane could easily dictate the game regularly. But not from our own 18 yard line. It all reminds of the argument all those years back between Ronnie Glavin and Allan Clarke. Glavin had been b@ll@cked by Clarke for not tracking our opponents number 3. And apparently told Clarkie he was more used to full backs worrying about him than the other way round.

Cheers for saying all that in your usual articulate way I couldn't be bothered to properly engage so was concise but even if I had would not have put it so eruditely. The pseudo intellectual 'coaches' who think that systems win you games are funny in a way though sad as well. If you cannot recognise that Conor Hourihane is easily our best player and currently showing determination sorely lacking in a lot of his colleagues then I feel genuinely sorry for you. Questioning the contribution of someone involved in about 50 percent of our goals over the last 2 seasons shies a lack of understanding about football. After all as Soneone once said ' the team that stores the most goals generally wins the game'.

 

Erudite & articulate? Me?
Thank you for your kind comments, old mate, but I don't see it!

 

You've done what that wally Danny Higginbotham did on Friday night on Sky - you're trying to credit George Thorne for two goals he wasn't involved in. I have seen some terrible pundits in my time, but for Higginbotham to run through both goals (replays of them as he talked through em) which showed Thorne 30 yards from both goals, and try to claim "he was the key to both goals for me, Butterfield knows he has Thorne behind him which helps massively".

Unbelievavbe. A player spanks two goals in, in style, and the bloke credited is a holding midfielder un-involved in the goals. Modern football's *****. And we now have ***** ex players describing it in a ***** manner.


But still. Twas a good night for the lad who was heading for L1 if the intelligentsia on this forum were to be believed. But you're right about Thorne, Hensworth. He's a team player. They all are at Derby otherwise they can't play. Even Ince has to work hard now. However, when you've hardworking laikers who proper talented with it, you're onto a good thing. Scarily good squad is Derby's.


In terms of Barnsley, Hourihane and Hammill's returns have been key to us stopping the rot. Both talented, both graft and both win football matches. Take them away (in January we'll 100% lose one of them at least......) and we're finishing bottom. If we keep them, we might scrape 5th bottom.

Halcyon days.
