Ian Royal I understand McAnuff will have been tired, but even knackered he still looked much better than Kebe, Howard and Rasiak.
I thought Siggurdsson found his role today. He's been average when played wide and I simply can't understand the person posting earlier saying he should be kept out there. He's the one player we've got in midfield who has actually got forward and joined the striker in attacks. He's very creative and skillful, but athletic and hard working too. He's got a good shot and he's excellent at set pieces.
Unlike Matejovsky he looks like the complete package to me. Just lacking a little of experience.
Another reason subbing him was idiocy, we then had no one to take our set pieces, as demonstrated by the awful freekick and corner late on, that couldn't have been more accurately passed to a Watford player if the taker had tried to.
The first signs today that I've seen that with a bit more work and some confidence that formation could work. I'd still rather play a 4-4-2 with wide players, if not two genuine wingers. I think someone like Davies could do a job on the right in those circumstances. Then we get to play two of Hunt, Long and Church upfront.
Sig was the only one of our support players who regularly got in front of Rasiak for the flick ons. The one other aspect of play that I noticed was that MacAnuff did come in to the back post area for a cross from the other side. I would also be happier with Hunt and Church up front with Mooney on the bench. If he is not going to give Mooney any sort of a chance then get rid of him.
why not Howard? he was class again today......
