Jonaldinho Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 Good signing, now please make Wes the one who is dropped. It's never easy to drop your captain but Wasyl is clearly playing better than him - it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 OptaJoe @OptaJoe 55s55 seconds ago 240 - Robert Huth has played 240 games in the Premier League, only 91 fewer than Leicester have as a club. Experience. #TDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 Great signing - adds some desperately needed PL experience to our back line. 1 down, hopefully a few more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod.E Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 Hate to say it but I hope this means we see less of Wes. Guy has been a disaster of late. At fault for all 3 goals at the weekend. Clumsy, not aerially dominant, and poor positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clumsy, not aerially dominant, and poor positioning. Am I not the only one who thinks that's harsh? DD and Kram fecked up for the first and the defence played their man offside. Not his fault the official can't do his job. The own goal he didn't even see the ball coming did he, so what's he meant to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ought to enter the school for wizardry, complete a quick course in Letting Stuff Disappear and Turn The Clock Back for Dummies, come back and deploy those tricks in the replay.

Nod.E Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 Am I not the only one who thinks that's harsh? DD and Kram fecked up for the first and the defence played their man offside. Not his fault the official can't do his job. The own goal he didn't even see the ball coming did he, so what's he meant to do? DD and Kram were at fault and yes, it should have been given offside. However, he was nowhere near in line with the rest of defence. The line was about two foot higher than Wes, and it was him that played RVP onside (even though it turns out he was marginally offside.) Same was true for the second goal. He consistently sits deeper than the rest of the defensive line, making it easy for Prem standard players to exploit the space and carve out chances. O.G may have been unfortunate, but for me he seems to be getting 'unfortunate' a little too often for my liking. RVP, being the clever player that he is, sees how deep Wes is and takes up a position that allows him to find space. If Wes was in line with the rest of the defence, this would not be possible. Same again for the second goal, Wes' positioning allowed them to flood forward and pick a pass easily. Both goals came from losing the ball. I think Wes' problem is that he doesn't organise the defensive line quickly and is prone to being caught out in these sorts of situations that can spring up at any time in games. If you set up quickly, you set yourself as a defensive force to deal with these unexpected sequences of play. I've heard Huth is a very vocal defender, so hopefully he will do more to sort our defensive shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 Have to say even though I think Was is by far the best central defender on current form, I'd be astonished if Pearson dropped Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 Falcao's goal is entirely Wasilewski's fault. Watch him run at Van Persie like a loonatic, completely leaving the defence wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 So Wes is at fault for playing RVP onside... even though he was clearly offside. I really think you are stretching that one a little bit. Wrong decision but I see the argument about Wes, sitting 4/5 yards behind the defensive line will cause the team problems, especially against intelligent forward players.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to be honest. We all know RVP was offside, but if Wes was positioned correctly the opportunity that was presented to RVP wouldn't have been there in the first place. RVP didn't have to be offside in order to take advantage of what was poor defensive positioning - it just so happens that he was in this instance.

It's a valid point IF he plays them onside, but he didn't for that goal quite clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 the opportunity that was presented to RVP wouldn't have been there in the first place. Well it would be if the linesman doesn't flag the attacker offside no matter where Morgan is stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nod.E Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 It's a valid point IF he plays them onside, but he didn't for that goal quite clearly. C'mon! It was a pretty close run thing. If RVP was half a yard further back he'd have still out-paced Wes and scored the goal. The fact remains that the opportunity was there because of Wes' positioning.
