Our defence

[HotspurFC1950]

Don't mean to be critical but Loris's disposal has been terrible and puts us under unnecessary pressure, he does receive some dodgy balls back to him but it must improve.

P.s I can't wait to have our centre halves play together for ten plus games as a partnership. (Whatever combination)

That's being critical.

From what I have gathered he rates Sandro and can't wait to get him back. I think his incorporation into the side is going to be vital for our run in

agree, and I assume this theory about not wanting DMs was dreamt up by people that never saw Sherwood play!

no it was based on quotes from Ferdinand I believe who then said 'and Tim agrees with me' as I recall. Anyway there is a long thread on this.

Maybe it's a result of our midfield? I feel that When our defence Get testes on their own, They are failing like a chineese trying to say "R"...

But, like that game vs everton, the whole team played a good defencive game.

And When we are losing, we risk more, Leaving our defence on their own, and we Get trashed.

Is it that simple? I don't know...

Is this really neccessary? Any other racial sterotypes you want to get off your chest or do you just feel safe in using Chinese ones?

If you think Dawson has been great this season, I wanna borrow your meds.

Dude, my meds would blow you away so I suggest you don't even go there

Anyway if we were so bad and Dawson was as pathetic as you say please explain our league position with a player who appears to be such a cataclysmic liability to some of you on here and why two successive managers have continued to play regularly?

He just isn't as bad as you people make out, so get real.

Sorry if that offended you but I think that's far away from being racist...
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, not the intention to offend anyone.

Don't use racial sterotypes for humour purposes then and you won't run that risk.

I spent 13 years in boarding school with people w'ing their r's at me because i am part Asian, although i speak in the exact accent they did. I don't like it very much tbh.

I think Sherwood realises this and why Bentaleb is in the team against a lot of people's opinions. Its probably a short-term option, but Bentaleb is the only midfield player that regularly keeps possession well and doesn't give the ball away on a regular basis.

Next season I feel the options for this position in midfield are:

- Continue Bentaleb in midfield and hopes he keeps developing further.
- Consider using Carroll after his return from QPR, if he's up to it.
- Purchase a new player.

Its very frustrating for me to see Huddlestone have such a good season for Hull. He was by no means perfect, but our midfield are crying out for that sort of calming influence of a Carrick/Huddlestone/Modric type

Think a Bentaleb, Carroll and Sandro 3 would work nicely. Got to think where Mousa, Paulinho, Holtby, Capoue and even Livermore are going to fit in. Think a maximum of 2 players for each 'position' if you like is sufficient, plus an all round utility midfielder. Either way we are packed.

The defence though...it has been the main offenders for a while now, we can say one has time to develop, one has an affinity with the club etc but these areas do need to be addressed, and as far as I can tell we don't have players in the youth setup ready to make the step up.

Ideal world bring in Rodriguez on left, Coleman on right, and potentially another centre back. Think the left back is the deal that will happen, mind.

Haha!

Look at our gd.. Don't watch where we are in the league as we all know we've ridden our luck!

Anyways, Dawson can and will be singled out because he's started near enough every game, is our captain and is at best a very very average defender.

I think Vlad is just as bad, but he actually has parts of his game that he is good at, like close control etc.
