leicestercity_ Posted 28 December 2011 Posted 28 December 2011 Schmeichel 7 - His kicking was very eratic but didn't really do much wrong, they created little chances as well as us Peltier 7 - Thought he had a decent game, gets involved and puts his boot in and head in when needed Bamba - 8 - Only player that really showed passion, was at fault for the goal but every other time he stuck his head on the ball and fought as much as he can. Even though he gets us into problems when he dribbles out it isn't as much as people think. He created more than any other player on the team Mills 3 - I don't understand why people rate him, his positioning isn't the best but they blame bamba for that!!! I got fed up of him hoofing the ball up everytime he got it. Doesn't pass the ball. Konchesky 8 - Had a decent game and worked hard as he was the winger and left back due to the fact we can't keep any shape at all Gallagher 3 - If we could sub him on for free kicks and penalties he would win player of the year. Find him annoying as he doesn't defend and refuses to head the ball. Nugent had a go at him when he messed up a header and he said something back at him. Struts around like he is some star player and is in the team due to Pearsons man love for him. Got me angry when he did a half arsed slide challenge then rolled around the pitch in frustration instead of getting up and defending. PLAY ON THE WING Wellens 6 - In a strange way i feel sorry for him, the midfield were by passed way too much. When he did get the ball he had very limited options as no wingers and no movement from the strikers Abe 9 - He did the basics right, got us out of some situations by being there at the right time. You watch when bamba goes on his runs, abe always covers at the back. Passes well even if its only 10 yards. Dyer 2 - Did he play??? Wanted to play up front and seems scared to play out wide. When he plays well the team plays well Nugent 6 - Worked hard but must of been annoyed by the constant long balls Beckford 5 - Had a bad game, control was bad Subs: King 4 - Can't remember much about him Howard/Schlupp n/a We need to stop hoofing long balls, no wonder the strikers had a bad game due to being so confused. If we are playing with wingers then play them on the wing. Dyer and gally were too much inside. The midfield will be ok if they had options but unfortunately they had nobody to pass too. I believe that beckford will come good, give him some good through balls and he will deliver, he will never play well on long balls. Get the ball out to the wing and fire some low crosses for him and nugent to get on the end of. We are not that far behind the play off places, a couple of good results then things will be different. Give Gelson a go and let schlupp have a real chance and not spare minutes at the end. Nothing to lose. How about Pantsill instead of gally, got pace and will run his socks off. Would you make any changes to the team for pompey game?
flowwolf Posted 28 December 2011 Posted 28 December 2011 This may be contentious ( how unusual ) but Abe does nothing but look the part. Sure he runs and runs but never does anything to change a game. No incisive pass no 20 yard screamer no specialty free kicks and only one header to his credit. Ok maybe I have been spoiled by seeing the likes of Lennon and Muzzy and Parker , but this guy would not have got a game in our reserves in those days. Lets face it he is Mr mediocrity and that about sums up our entire team at the present.

The times he got his toe in and broke up their attacks was commendable. However, I do agree that there is little creativity with him. He does the defensive work well, but going forward we desperately need a player in that central area who can take a player on and create something with a bit of skill and vision. That's not Abe.. But as I say I don't think that's his role in the team.
