*** DERBY v SPURS *** Official Match Thread

[yanno]

Sloth - we disagree on the passing ability of Zokora. I think it's patchy and limited. Whereas Ramos praised O'Hara's control of the game in the second half at Derby, and I really can't imagine Zokora dictating the tempo in that fashion.

The other main issue though is whether the problem is Zokora's reading of the game or his lack of discipline. I entirely agree that Ramos has given players strictly defined roles, and this has helped them a lot. If Zokora's problem is a lack of discipline in playing the C/DM role, then Ramos will be able to solve this on the training ground and in his match instructions. And we'll see a super C/DM, as you say.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

Zokora just cant read a pass quick enough and he cant shoot the only bad things about him. He runs a lot he will get back and defend, that fact that he has the pace to get pass more or less any player but cant go on to score or get good assist pisses me off.

He's also a very poor tackler!

But as Yanno says it's his reading of the game that is his major problem and he just isn't very good in possesion.
