Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

Be amazed if he's still at Wolves next season

charlie adam experiment will prevent such a move imo, tho finishers are a different beast

Because both of them & Dalglish are Scottish? I didn't know the Adam buy was chalked up to nationalistic bias.

Fletcher probably wouldn't be up for another relegation battle anyway.

Too many British players boxall. Or at least too many bad British players.

― pandemic, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 14:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

dunno about his conversion statistics but nb he stopped scoring months ago, old man deeply unimpressed with his work ethic, i say fuck a work ethic if you're scoring. if.

because they're both high-performing players from relegated teams- not a subset that traditionally get swooped for by the big boys, and adams didn't exactly make a great argument for it.

Ah I forgot about the relegation link. Were there any success stories from 10/11, other than Parker? Dann?

― boxall, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:05 (1 year ago) Permalink

no, dann's had a mare

foster & larsson

although they werent signed off the back of great seasons if that's what the question was

― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:26 (1 year ago) Permalink

Dann and Johnson both suck, maybe they need the magic of Big Eck to function "properly"

it was more whether anyone had gone to a cl ql challenging club, tbh

Parker, obv

hasn't he been shit since Spurs have gone to shit?

― aboulia banks (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

he's been ok imo, tho i know ilx spurs opinion may be otherwise. the midfield balance is rubbish and he has no defence to cover, as such, where we're really failing is in unlocking such stalwart defences as norwich or oh fuckit this joke's bitter can i get another pls

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:36 (1 year ago) Permalink

think only benny made more of a tit out of himself than parker did on saturday

― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

I still rate Parker. Spurs biggest failure imho has been in scoring and that's not just Parker's failing.

― L'ennui, cette maladie de tous les (Michael White), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:42 (1 year ago) Permalink

if only on setpiece delivery alone the past ten games, bale and modric have been orders worse than parker has been in his function.

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:50 (1 year ago) Permalink

Fun fact: 41 of Jelavic's 44 goals for Rangers and Everton have been scored with his first touch

― Number None, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

I tend to agree. I was once excited by Bale and rated Modric highly. Now Bale seems to run down the touchline and then lose possession and Modric's passing has been sub-par.

― L'ennui, cette maladie de tous les (Michael White), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:57 (1 year ago) Permalink

oh man, for a return to the days when bale ran down the touchline at all! I'd give me smaller bollock.

Modric has been quietly subpar- a yard short, not there for an ekotto layoff, no longer squeezing himself out of impossible gaps to set a run up, general lack of ambition in the pass. Apart from the liverpool goal he's done very little exceptional all season- it's saddening.

maybe the lad really wants away

― aboulia banks (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:02 (1 year ago) Permalink

give you 15m for him

― Number None, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:02 (1 year ago) Permalink

a midfield of bale, parker, modric, lennon should be destroying most epl defences, if you think of it at all- regardless of our probs at cb or cf.

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:04 (1 year ago) Permalink

you've got no left wing there

― aboulia banks (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:04 (1 year ago) Permalink

spurs total inability to break down teams that sit and play behind the ball reflects poorly on all the midfielders, but especially modric i feel. he's the one that should be able to pick them apart. wouldn't mind if levy took 40M for him now.

BAE is alright, though, isn't he?

― L'ennui, cette maladie de tous les (Michael White), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:08 (1 year ago) Permalink

a better fullback than award winning kyle walker

― mizzell, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:09 (1 year ago) Permalink

BAE is the one player i'd hate to see injured atm, his improvement under harry's been phenomenal. Walker's good too but vdv in front of him is a grave disservice ttl

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

bae talented but fair-weather player it seems to me. couldnt cope with mackie up his arse all game and then sacked it off after an hour

walker not being coached anything so how much nous do you expect him to have at 21

― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

bae injured halfway through last week iirc

Walker better than bae was at that age, yeah
