Johnson likes his 'clubs in the bag' but it makes for a disjointed XI with little understanding of how to play. Yes, ive lost count of the amount of smaller ball playing midfielders we have on our books. i think signings are being made with a view to making future profits than how we actually play,,,, and in general theres more chance of profit on a snazzy ball playing attacking midfielder than a defensive blocker.

Those varied are infrequently used, specialist tools. Where WeeLee's analogy holds true is whilst it's only 3 or 4 clubs that hold the key to success they all have to be carried (together with their associated baggage.) Feels to me like we've all been caddying for him for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Flappy seemingly homed to the touchlines and Static occupying his marker's shadow Show Pony would have to be a world beater were he able to bring them into the game (as we've seen he isn't.) We've also several players who are exemplar at being able to hide in plain sight. Palmer though isn't as bad as some are making out, I recall similar criticism being labelled at Peter Cormack and what does he have on his résumé? In his case we also had excellent midfielders in those key roles of winning ball/enforcement and cover/space fillers and I don't think what we have today are being best deployed under WeeLee to give him his best shot at success. That said, he isn't the first to suffer our managerial limitations. Who are these people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that we would need to cycle in another striker to compensate for moving him back and putting KP in the hole. I wonder where we're getting strikers ... oh.
