Faurlin

[swanleyhoop]

I think he will -- he has said repeatedly how much we miss Faurlin.

[G.T.P]

course he will start faurlin if hes fit. hes the first name on the teamsheet.

as am i. people are writing norwich off but they really will be a tough test imo. holt and jackson are very good players, as is hoolahan. our defence will be busy.
glad to see that faurlin should be back though.

Is it fair that Faurlin goes straight into a team that's unbeaten since his injury ? Is if fair to just drop Buzz, when Taarabt and Hogan have not been as effective in the last month, as they were in the first, causing the midfield to not look as strong ?

NW has a tough call to make regarding not only Faurlin but Smith as well and my £1 says Faurlin on the bench and Smith replacing hogan, as a reward for crossing the ball to HH v palace.

Should beat Norwich not to fussed about them,not one of there players would get in our first team.

Hoolahan would, Holt would make the bench.

id say it is fair. faurlin has been miles better than buzz this season, mainly because its his position and not buzz's. why play buzz out of position any longer when we have someone much better available?

[Jeffro]

Any coincidence that Hogan and Adel have suposedly been ineffective since Faurlin has been out?

Paul, serious point here, But Taarabt has assisted 3 and scored 1 in his last 3 games, is this really under performing??
Faurlin is pivotal in how we play, as is Derry, he keeps the ball moving, allowing AT and HH to get involved and receive the ball in more dangerous areas.

no coincidence at all mate, which is why faurlin should play over buzz. not only is he better in that position, he makes the players around him a lot more comfortable.

[G.T.P]

some people amaze me, everyone is saying buzz isnt playing at his best cos hes not playing his natural game in fuarlins postiton as a defending/holding midfielder, then when faurlins fit some are saying 'how could and why should you drop buzz?'.

[paulmason]

It's not a Buzz v Faurlin issue, it's an issue of Mackie, Buzz, Hogan, Taarabt and Smith and which three play behind HH and in front of AF and SD. IMO, Buzz is too good to be on the bench but two have to miss out.

Actually, its exactly that. Buzz wont get in further up the field at the moment, unless Adel gets injured. Smith can cover both wings.

[G.T.P]

course its a buzz v faurlin issue. ally got injured, buzz took his place. faurlin is fit again and buzz will step down to his rightfull place on the bench and business will carry on as normal with 3 and four nil wins, and no poxy nil nils against shite.
ANYONE who thinks ANY different is in cloud cuckoo land.

Correct mate, that's what should happen.


Unfortunately for Buzz the man he is in competition with is Taarabt, and Taarabt is very unlikely to be dropped. It has been shown that Buzz cant play deep in the Derry/Faurlin role, and it has been shown last season that he is wasted out wide.
