Get the ball to El Pitbull and let's go Gary Medel la la la

Turners is probably around the 40% mark with his hoofballing

How anyone can call Turner's hoof balls actual passes is beyond me. He just shits himself because he lacks composure and gets rid of it. We need a defender who is willing to be composed in control of the ball and play it out into midfield. If we continue with Turner we are going down. He is the main reason so much pressure is just coming back on us because he lumps it up there and gives away possession.

I read yesterday it was a "tactic"

You are right mate but unfortunately at this level there is so much more needed to a defenders game. They are actually the ones who get attacks rolling and craft space in the midfield. Look at other clubs and a lot of them have this type of defender and then the defender who does the dog work, the old traditional way.

United - Ferdinand
Liverpool - Agger
Chelsea - Luiz
Barca - Pique
Madrid - Pepe
Bayern - Dante

Obviously we're not as big as any of these clubs but even the lower teams have this type of defender.

Swansea - Chico
Newcastle - Collocini

Malky is deluding himself if he thinks Turner is up to the task.

As ive said all week only ones comfortable in posession were Whitts and Gary.

Get better players around them they will shine.

Medel did impress me

don't understand why Turner is chosen over Hudson? Hudson leads the defence better, and will play the ball on the floor.. Malky came out and said he'll remain our captain, but doesn't play him? don't make sense to me

That rated Gary as our 7th/8th best player. Odd to say the least. Looked one of our best players tbh

Very odd John, I thought Medel was our best player, calm and measured with his passing

Personally I think the criticism of Turner is harsh. He plays on the left hand side of the centre back partnership and most often will be passing short to the other centre back, the left back or a midfielder. I'm pretty sure he was probably trying to protect Declan John by not offloading the ball on to him as often as he would have passed to Taylor. Taylor will be back on Sunday and I'd put money on turners success rate increasing over the next few games. Not that him being able to pass to Taylor will result in any better outcomes if we don't get more width in midfield.

it's not a one off that he's just lumped up field! he quite regularly lumps it, be interesting to see if MM sticks with him and caulker with Hudson being our best player last year!

Hudson & Caulker must be our pairing, Conposure is needed especially in this league. Agree with Polo we need to build a squad around Whitts and Medel who are so comfortable with the ball.

Definitely think Hudson is better than Turner but Hudson's preferred side is the right which is the same as Caulker so I am guessing it will be one of those stubborn decisions Malky won't change quickly.

Nothing to do with John he done it all last season!!!

Not normally 13 times in a game though

Whittingham was the next player to make the next highest amount of passes, he made 48 in total with an accuracy of 81%.



Quite shocking use of the English language there.


Great stats mind

turner better than Hudson on the defending side imo but its just his distribution that is so poor, id be tempted to have caulker and Connelly together

You reckon?

Good news that people said he was always looking to pick up the ball. Can stop our CB's lumping it aka Turner.

Funny you mention this. Yet when Leon Britton did even better most claimed it was because he was passing backwards.

Britton passed 74 times in one match and had 100% accuracy if memory serves.

I agree, he definitely doesn't give the ball away as much when he hasn't got it.

Right footed players often play on the left hand side, it's not ideal but regardless you would normally play your two best centre halfs, I think Huddon will fairly quickly regain he place with Caulker.
