I thought Moore has been utter shite all season, and is patently not good enough to dislodge someone who is actually playing quite well ?

You thought correctly, Cate

 

[Skitzo]

You thought correctly, Cate

well ain't you clever changing someone's post like that, how ever if being utter shite all season was a reason not to play then Wes would have been dropped a long time ago. My suggestion of Moore at right back was based on De Laet having a poor game and Simpson being Danny Simpson so Liam being there would have someone that would still get forward well but be better defensively

I think the tactic of going for it has worked well the last few games. Why change? We don't need a defensive full back. Keep De Leat in.

Liam is still a very attacking full back, I just remember RDL getting tore apart by Swansea's wingers last time that's my only concern, as I said in my first post its the only change I'd consider, injuries permitting

Liam Moore almost single handedly lost us the game at Swansea, the goal where he dropped off Bony and stood on the line was bizarre.


I was also under the impression RDL was playing well at WBA?

Don't worry, it won't happen.

Mainly because Pearson isn't a complete idiot

thing with that Swansea game is people always gloss over Drinkwater not bothering to track his runner on either goal and instead just blamed Liam, the whole team was crap that day so why hold it against just 1 player in Liam?

 

[Lako42]

His defending that night was an utter calamity, If you were calling for a recall of Drinkwater I would also be pointing out the fact that he has also been complete dross this season.

Drinkwater...what happened to that bloke? Jesus.

Nothing, he's just an above average championship player at this point in his career

According to the football league he was one of the top three championship players last year...so his loss of form is a little more than "nothing" in my opinion.

If we were playing at championship level I'd agree but he's simply out of his depth this season

 

[Robin127]

From what I've seen of Drinkwater, this year and the few games I watched last year, I could never understand what all the fuss was about. The stats indicated he had a fantastic pass rate, my observations were that most of his passes were short and straight back to the bloke who gave the ball to him in the first place.

Agree mate

Drinkwater has the technical ability to be a perfectly good player at this level. His performances last season proved this.

His problem is that whenever the team are struggling, he disappears and his form deteriorates scarily. This has demonstrably happened twice now with us. Whenever we're on a good run, his form improves and he goes from strength to strength.

You can either put this down to him having confidence/psychological issues or simply say that he's not a team player, who gives up at the first sign of trouble.

But it's nothing to do with footballing ability.

This is a tougher game than some are suggesting. Swansea are a decent side who are pretty difficult to beat, better than West Ham and certainly better than West Brom.

It's a strange one, with many others here I expected him to be key this season.

Still, he's way better than Cleverley, right?
