would not change the back four myself . they say keep a winning team. sometimes on here when a player has been out for sometime , posters really build them up to be better than they really are . a recent example was faurlin. i don't think bringing yun back will offer a lot more than kon . i've never come away from a game and said to myself that yun had a great game what a player , he does alright and no more than that for meComment

Novel idea but I like my defenders to defend, midfielders to be able to get between the defensive and attacking boxes and my forwards to score goals
Get that right and any team is laughingComment

Not really a great thing. Yea they should be able to and all of ours are able to but what is costing us is that they can't do the other stuff well enough at this point."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Well currently from those three things have Austin who score goals were sorely lacking in the other areas. If you can defend (we can't) control the midfield (we can't) with Austin goals will go very close. Not sure why you would object to that??Comment

Because just being able to defend from defence means that they won't be able to get it anywhere useful after for example. I say full backs need to attack, forwards need to be able to hold up and run with the ball. Lower league clubs have players who can tackle but can do f all else in defence. There's a reason they are lower league players."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Also, we have sandro who can do the midfield thing, so can fer and luongo. We have Clint who can clearly defend but is limited by his lack of footballing ability beyond that."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Perhaps you misunderstand me or I have not explained correctly. Using defence as example first and foremost I want CB OR FB to do their job and do it well once that's achieved that they can worry about adding the extras such as expansive defensive play. Would I like a CB like Rio in his prime who can bring ball out and play with it of course but we're not blessed with those players so if it's a choice of Nedum clearing his lines or getting caught doing something he can't then clear your lines.Because just being able to defend from defence means that they won't be able to get it anywhere useful after for example.

I think a few agree with that opinion hence why there over the moon Hill is back as he does what it says on the tin he defends, he heads the ball, he's brave and he puts the ball in row z when required. He don't dance out of defence cause he can't but what's more important in a defender??Comment
100%, gotta give that 4 a chance again
