Guest Col city fan Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 Xabi Alonso also plays regularly in one of the best club teams in the world, what's your point? I think Alonso does a better job than Mascherano and does it far more elegantly and techincally. It's my opinion that when players do their job well, you almost don't notice they're doing it. Last minute tackles or blocks all look very good, but they're last minute because the players didn't do what they should have in the first place. That's why I like Andy King in that deep lying role, his tackling and distribution is actually a lot better than people give him credit for. If he was a bit bigger and stronger, he'd be an insanely good player. As for Cattermole - he is the very definition of a thug, there's absolutely no doubt about that in my mind. Constantly getting sent off, making sickening challenges that could end players careers. I would never want a player like him or Barton or any of their ilk playing for my club. Yet doubtless there are people on here who would just say he is 'committed' and would love a player like that. Not for me. My point is that there is a place for such a player in modern day football. Alonso is a lovely player. God knows why Liverpool sold him. But Mascherano and Cattermole are equally as important to their respective clubs. I admire MON immensely. And if Petrov and Cattermole are good enough for him as true defensive, break up opposition attacks, midfielders, they are good enough for me. I think we need such a player and have done so at City for years.

fleckneymike Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 I'll keep it short. We will very rarely play 442 in my opinion.

Guest Col city fan Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 Cattermole is an absolute monster True he's a nasty fooker. Tell you what though.. Oneill don't make a mug his skipper mate. He never has done. I just use Cattermole as an example of the type of player I think we need.

fleckneymike Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 Are you on drugs? Why do you think we will play 442?

I just use Cattermole as an example of the type of player I think we need. Yeah he is a good player and certainly the type of player we'd need. Just makes me wince every time he goes in for a challenge
jimmer Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 Why do you think we will play 442? Yes, when needed. I think we'll play lots of formations over the course of the season.
fleckneymike Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 Yes, when needed. I think we'll play lots of formations over the course of the season. Right. So when I said I think we will rarely play 442 you thought I was on drugs because?
fleckneymike Posted 9 August 2012 Posted 9 August 2012 We have also played many other systems, 451 was very much in vogue during the 09/10 season. I may not be a fan of Pearson's style of play but I certainly would never criticise him for being fixated with one formation.
