Bert Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 If you go on itv teletext page 567 you will see who our best 3 midfielders are. In reply to your quote of my post, you go on like Porter is the best thing since slice bread. Your bias to him is unbelievable. If he really was that good he'd still be in the starting XI. Don't get me wrong i think Porter isa good player and a great prospect, but he isn't as good as your making him out to be.

People who live in glasshouses my son!
RowlattsFox Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 i think hughes is a better passer than he gets credit for. he's the only one i can think of that actually plays long cross-field balls. problem is there never in an area that causes opposition problems.
Wils Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 I agree with most people i think Williams is our best passer,Hume's passing is generally good but hes usually playing shorter balls than a centre midfeilder would but still its fairly accurate.
TrickyTrev Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 Williams is the only player in our squad with anything approaching a decent range of passing. I've never seen Porter pass the ball more than 10 yards.
davieG Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 I guess it all depends on your definition, best could just mean accurate, Lennon never passed it very far but they nearly always reached their destination. William's passes on the other hand are more imaginative and are therefore likely to fail more often. I would have said Williams is the most imaginative, Hume, Porter, Wesolowski, and even McAuley are all pretty accurate/consistent, well at least for this league. Unfortunately or fortunately being Williams he's not involved in the games as much as the others so, when he does make a decent pass it's very noticable.
Thracian Posted 23 November 2006 Author Posted 23 November 2006 Williams is the only player in our squad with anything approaching a decent range of passing. I've never seen Porter pass the ball more than 10 yards. Presumably you don't count corners. Crosses are a bit wasted in our team seeing we're short in the box at the best of times and when there is anyone they're certainly not aerial players. When the big lads come up for set plays he's delivered the ball as well as anyone.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 Dunno about best but Porter's the worst. Dreadful player.
lcfc_jme Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 Williams is our best passer by miles. It's just a shame we can't keep him fit any play him every week Our back line is awful at passing, and so is part of our midfield for that matter

It's just a shame we can't keep him fit any play him every week Our back line is awful at passing, and so is part of our midfield for that matter Agreed 100%. BTW people who say Hughes might be the best passer have been clouded by his sideways and backward passes that are so simple. When have you ever seen him play a defence-splitting through ball?
Collymore Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 Garry Parker without a doubt. oh sorry, i thought it was "best passer to ever set foot on the earth" thread.

When have you ever seen him play a defence-splitting through ball? Hughes plays the very rare defense-splitting pass, but people don't seem to remember them because the rest of his passes are easy, simple and often uneffective. Other than Williams, we don't really have a player to supply the killer ball, which is why players like Fryatt do not score as many as they are capable of

lildave3 Posted 23 November 2006 Posted 23 November 2006 Williams. But Sylla comes close 2nd. You may laugh but i think he is a great passer and has the brain aswell. He seems to do well against bigger teams because they tend to slow down the play, the way he likes to play. Look at his 2 passes to Hume against plymouth for example, one of which our god-like striker converted.

He leads the assists chart in the League this season with three. I think that's three more than last season but so what, it's an improvement. Not quite sure what qualifies as an assist in the stats but I'd guess final pass before a goal.

Thracian Posted 24 November 2006 Author Posted 24 November 2006 ha ha. You're more positive than me - cos I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. i
