Good move this!
Or perhaps not . Yet another post without any substance whatsoeverIt speaks volumes that Liverpool have sent none of their youngsters our way. I think we all hoped that one or two of their best under 21's would end up being improved whilst playing for us under Critchley's coaching at Blackpool. Perhaps Liverpool are not unhappy that Critchley moved on.
Hard to disagree. Upgrade on Ward, perhaps. I'd like to see more of Sarkic when he is fit but how?Its a good signing however where to play him?
We have a bucket full of players like him
He could play the "Ward" role but actually have an impact, allowing Anderson to push forward and support the front 3.Hard to disagree. Upgrade on Ward, perhaps. I'd like to see more of Sarkic when he is fit but how?
So by my reckoning we have 9 of this sort of inside forward type along with 6 fullbacksHard to disagree. Upgrade on Ward, perhaps. I'd like to see more of Sarkic when he is fit but how?
He isn't a holding midfielderHe could play the "Ward" role but actually have an impact, allowing Anderson to push forward and support the front 3.
Ward isn't playing the holding midfield role, he isn't doing anything except running around and being anonymous.He isn't a holding midfielder
Seen a bit of him with living in Wales with a couple of Wales fans and i can tell you he isn't the answer to our centre midfield problems
Best played behind a front man or cutting in from wide
Striker on the agenda to Hazi?He would certainly be more effective CM than Ward this lad can tackle as well as run/cross/shoot
I'm still waiting for Ward to attempt to make a tackle.....can't see him being much better at tackling than Ward who remember has a decent amount of experience at a higher level.
Deal is done - Loan until January.No confirmation as yet right now
Where have you heard Jan? Pearce is claiming end of the season.Deal is done - Loan until January.
Was Ballard not a similar thing to that, its end of the season but there's a recall option in January? Hopefully it's the case with this as wellA mate of mine works at the Echo he said January. Hope it’s until the end of the season though.
Not sure pal but Ben will be seen predominantly as part of the forward 3 who could play mid, soStriker on the agenda to Hazi?
Come on Phil, 9? I think you're spreading the net wide there.So by my reckoning we have 9 of this sort of inside forward type along with 6 fullbacks
It's the centre of the pitch that needs addressing
Bang on thisAnyone saying Woodburn is the answer to our midfield problems is just wishful thinking... good signing and talented lad but not the physical, engine room type midfielder we desperately need. Hope the club is still looking
Sorry but he's nothing like David VaughanLet's also not forget, that one of our most successful players in modern times, David Vaughan, was signed and initially played as a left midfielder before moving in to the middle.
I have no issue with players moving position if their abilities allow it, but we are currently seeing players played out of position with little if any benefit to themselves or the team.
Yeah 9Come on Phil, 9? I think you're spreading the net wide there.
We do have a few holding midfield players - Robson, Williams, Virtue and Antwi. Could be better, could be worse.
I wasn't comparing him to David Vaughan. I didnt even mention any specific player.Sorry but he's nothing like David Vaughan
I do agree with your last paragraph though for me Grant Ward and Keshi Anderson aren't centre mids
Ok fair enoughI wasn't comparing him to David Vaughan. I didnt even mention any specific player.
I was saying players are capable of moving to play in different roles if their abilities allow.
The ones we currently have (Anderson & Ward as you say) seemingly can't.
Nice one he's from ChesterThe official club account has just tweeted a rendition of the Welsh national anthem.
So it won't be long......
Chester? So Wales thenNice one he's from Chester
Williams and Maxwell are from Wales though
Ha ha no ..Chester? So Wales then
They aren't all like for like players, or inside forwards, by any means. Some of them are wide players.Yeah 9
