Our Midfield ......... - Beefy 1965 - 18-02-2018
Now i know we can't score and at present leaking goals left right and center, but just look at our stats from our midfield players this season
Livermore 23 Apps, 0 goals, 1 assist
Krychoiwak 19 Apps, 0 goals, 2 assists
Yacob 13 Apps, 0 goals, 0 assists
Barry 24 Apps, 1 goal, 1 assist
Field 7 Apps, 1 goal, 0 assists
Brunt 15 Apps, 0 goals, 5 assists
Phillips 20 Apps, 1 goal, 2 assists
McClean 22 Apps, 1 goal, 0 assists
Total 4 Goals 11 assists all season (143 Apps)
Phillips being the biggest disappointment, not half the player he was last season

Midfield for next season:
Burke, Morrison, field, brunt.
Experienced Pro's to bring on the youngsters.

Considering they were told to do nothing but defend under Pulis I'm hardly surprised tbh.
I said on the Southampton thread that at this point I'd like to see certain players dropped and players who will want to prove themselves starting in their place - we've nothing to lose so why not?

I would almost agree ...
Would like to add Mclean in their the way he played yesterday he will be a nightmare for most championship teams, if he doesn't do stupid things, pace on both wings, but Brunt needs to play because his set piece delivery could be crucial also
RE: Our Midfield ......... - baggietrousers - 18-02-2018
Yep, I'll have that with McLean, he'll be a proper handful in championship, maybe a five man midfield with Burke and McLean as the attacking options.

This illustrates the problem with the balance of the squad. There's far too many midfield stoppers for 2 roles.
Nacer Chadli is arguably our best goalscoring midfielder and did score in his only start of the season at Leicester away. Unfortunately him and Mozza, who ranks #2, have spent most of the time injured or in the cold (Under Pulis).
The majority of the others have never been prolific, even when playing for successful sides.
I do feel Phillips would chip in with a few more if we played 4-5-1 so he had a bit more freedom to break the lines. Neither Pulis' all out defence or Pardew's rigid 4-4-2 lend themselves to midfielders being allowed to roam off the forward.

Chadli will play for the last 3 weeks of the season to prove his fitness for the world cup......... DD
RE: Our Midfield ......... - Baggie_One - 19-02-2018
we have a midfield ?
RE: Our Midfield ......... - TheAstleBridge - 19-02-2018
FOSTER, DAWSON, GABR, HEGAZI, GIBBS, YACOB, LIVERMORE, BRUNT, PHILLIPS, CHADLI, RONDON.
For me Chadli owes us another season as he done bugger all this year whilst picking up a huge pay cheque,
I`d also be going all out to keep Rondon as he`d score bucket loads in the Championship.
