I'm not sure if Brendan agrees though.

I'm just going by what the team has been doing before scoring. Its pretty much never from crosses. But yes Brendan likes that style and it could be useful if we could get alittle better in those areas.

On a side note about what Brendan prefers, he also doesnt think Alberto or Aspas are good enough to start or feature majority of the time. Some people on here think they should both be starting, which is also going against what hes been doing. I've made it no secret I believe both should be sold. Not everyone believes everything Brendan does is 100% right

That's pretty much agreeing with me though. Flanno isn't good enough offensively.

I agree about Aspas but I'll reserve judgement on Alberto for another season, but your probably right.

You could also ask the question how many goals our players have scored from running the ball through the centre compared to oncoming crosses. I've seen Sturridge and Suarez both get upset when the ball isnt given to their feet. I dont think we need the wingback system.

Perhaps having the wingbacks getting forwards is drawing players towards them, therefore freeing up the space for the pass down the middle.

Without the wingbacks attracting the defender over, would the through ball down the middle be half as successful?

I've only just realised Flanagan didn't get a call up for the U21's.

Who have they chosen instead??

[Fredo]

Naughton I think.

Edit. Just realised that he's 25.

[Daffy Duck]

Robinson Wisdom didn't get in either.

[Gibbo]

I thought Wisdom was captain?!

[Daffy Duck]

Yeah he is/was, I don't know why he wasn't called up either, he's supposed to be brilliant for Derby this year.

Isn't Wisdom still banned?
Got 4 games for his sending off didn't he??

[Daffy Duck]

Must be that

I'm more concerned about the space he leaves in behind him and how slow he is to get back in that situation.

[Fierce]

I thought he was better on the left hand side personally. And as I much prefer GJ on his natural foot, Flannagan should play on the left again

It probably wouldnt no.

[RedReet]

Up there with his Arsenal debut.

Flanno.

31 points from 33 in his last 11 games.

Who wanted him dropped for Cissohko????

[baitman]

a great game from him, lots of guts and determination.
