Mr AngryTommy Youlden's EarsMr Angry I thought NHunt was looking jaded before being replaced by Lita; that change needs to be reversed now as NHunt has had a rest and as Lita isn't delivering.
It's the wingers who aren't delivering. Michael Owen in his pomp would struggle in our team in recent weeks. Same old same old, a) we've been sussed, b) the wingers have lost form & c) there's no alternative plan to wing play. Bickering about which centre forward is least well equipped to feed off scraps is entertaining but pointless.
I reckon that if we start creating, then either NH or LL are good enough to convert them in this league. It's the system, the moribund centre-mids and the wingers' form wot matter.
Agreed TYE, and in other threads I have expressed why I think that is, but IMHO, I thought NHunt was looking a bit jaded, whereas Lita had come back looking very lively, so I can quite understand why Coppell made he change.
I also agree 100% that we need to employ an alternative to the style of play that we have employed for the whole of the season and which, though succesful for the first half of the season has been so unsuccesful thus far in the second half. Ironically, by changing the tactics, Lita MAY be more effective; however, I would be surprised if NHunt isn't in the starting 11 on Saturday regardless of the tactics employed on the day.
Three excellent posts there. Sums up my thoughts fairly well.
