I actually thought these two were very good today and have shown a lot of class. Onuoha should be played centrally but he was solid at right back all game and didn't give Chadli any space on that side to do damage. Sandro was excellent in the middle and played a very solid game. I hope to see more of these performances from them. Also that goal, spectacularly well taken for someone known for his power over his finesse.

Sandro and Onuoha

Well as long as he is still playing he is fine by me. He probably is alongside Green, Austin and Fer the only players who could get a place in a top half team with the way they are playing. Obviously, the injuries have hindered him but I'm still backing him to be big for us this season. His solidity will be huge to our survival IMO.Originally posted by Nick View PostIf Sandro wasnt so injury prone he could be 1 of our best players imho. Reckon he 'could' own that midfield!!... but he is injury prone..... and thats why he's here!!"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Agree Nasser thought they were both very good especially as Sandro is not back to full fitness. I must say that the bravery of the Chief was unbelievable. On a couple of occasions he put his head in where I thought he was going to get smacked. With his terrible gash on Wednesday I thought it was really brave of him and shows his commitment.

He has no limits on what he will do. You can tell Chief really cares for the club. Kinda wouldn't mind his as captain next season.Originally posted by East London R View PostAgree Nasser thought they were both very good especially as Sandro is not back to full fitness.

injuries have been an issue but its a squad game.Originally posted by stationcafe View PostWould have preferred to see Onuoha play CB with Isla at fullback tbh.
And if Sandro & Fer had stayed injury free all season I reckon we'd be a good 8-10 points better off. Add Faurlin to that and we'd be a pretty solid side, such a shame.
had we been able to play until the final whistle we would be way better off too.
liverpool 1 point dropped
hull 1 point dropped
swansea 2 points dropped
Southampton 1 point dropped
5 points given away after the 90 min mark!

I thought henry was actually a bit disappointing yesterday but won't take away from his season. One thing I will say is that we can play with Sandro as our only defensive midfielder, but we can't do that with henry if we ever want to go attacking from the start.Originally posted by dogsrrs View PostYep Sandro does a great job of shutting the m/field but surely Hendry deserves a shout as well , could be just me but I thought they both made a solid pairing"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.
