Zola and Clarke needs to decide who they prefer and then give them a good chance to gel as you say (they also need a break regarding injuries).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137286492913353309.post-18322108777414039512009-12-01T15:37:59.448+01:002009-12-01T15:37:59.448+01:00Well agreed!

Of course I agree with you, these changes all-the-time (mainly cause of injuries) are of no benefit for a solid defence.Prince Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412135028181551653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137286492913353309.post-53380374376024353602009-12-01T14:38:18.808+01:002009-12-01T14:38:18.808+01:00True.

I wanted it clear that constant changes will affect our game and numbers to back up my argument. <br /><br />Even though I agree that the midfield is crucial to a working defence, there is no way 11 back 4 line-ups in 14 games will not affect the number of conceded goals.<br /><br />And as we've changed the midfield around as much as the defence I bet that is another reason for the shakes we get as soon as we concede a goal. - there is no safe and comfortable standard solution to use when under pressure.<br /><br />But that is the next post!Joppe -https://www.blogger.com/profile/09661438911950838399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137286492913353309.post-23825144747004737862009-12-01T14:07:08.015+01:002009-12-01T14:07:08.015+01:00I do agree (maybe not Spector though) totally, but...I do agree (maybe not Spector though) totally, but as I've said before the defense is not just the back four and against Burnley the midfield had a great game goin forward but a really bad game defensively. Collison did not help Spector enough, Stanislas hardly Ilunga and while Parker was a midfield giant in both directions it may have helped that Kovac played behind him so he dared to push forward, but looking at Kovac's back-tracking it seemed awful and he plays a bit like Mullins, too far away from the opponents. As I see it. <br />Reading other posts on the net there may also be something in those who suggests that we lost the plot when both Franco and Cole went off. We were not longer able to hold the ball up....<br />I though Clarke was a master to see this...Prince Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412135028181551653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137286492913353309.post-39363350871133751042009-12-01T13:41:25.100+01:002009-12-01T13:41:25.100+01:00Spot on!
