Certainly is 2-0.

No idea what the posession stats are dont give much credence to them. All about chances created and conceded for me.

And yes, now canas is out i wouldnt mind medel. You offering? Hve a center back in midfield such is our injury situation...Just as long as you dont charge us £15m for the pleasure :lol:

Looks a shadow of the player he was earlier in the season.

Dont know wether the pace of the premier league is taking it out of him, esoecially the xmas period but he looks overweight and is blowing through his arse come the hour mark.

Needs a rest I think.




Correct! Said exactly the same yest.

Not offering just proving that you need to protect your defence and that Medel is IMO better than any defensive midfielder you have.

Three nil now, you look weak at the back, I'm sure OGS will be plotting to attack from the start :ayatollah:

Funny thing about that index Campbell and Medel are both 172cm yet Campbell is 11kg heavier about 11/2 stone

What I have seen of Gary Medel is that he is able to keep possession of the football in very contested areas due to his upper-body strength....I am wondering if he is being player out of position, maybe he should be contesting the midfield area and not dropping deep between the centre-backs.

Roathie, whats your view on Chico? He is like a role-reversal of Cardiff centre-backs....great on the ball, good skills but bad at defending haha

Im not a fan. Hes our weak link for me, id rather Amat.

Much like medel though, he is a cult hero - which makes many ignore any of the bad and over egg the good. Hes a poor defender regardless of his hair and crazy entertaining personality.

I do believe Medel will get out of the rut he's in...can't argue it was money wasted though cos that money should of been spread evenly on all positions

Thats all my point ever has been. Never said he was a bad player, hes fine.

Medel is a class act and was our best player for large periods pre Christmas

He'll regain it soon. Big year for him. I've got no doubts that he'll be pivotal in us surviving

I can honestly see medel not being in the starting line up in a few weeks time as I believe he stops the ball going forward quickly enough for the style of play I think ole wants to play.
