Pre Season 2013

thing with Ekotto is that his strongest points are his passing ability. He added so much to our team through that alone. He's 10x better than Rose in that department and he suits our team better.

I think his passing was over rated. What he added to the team for me is that he could receive the ball under pressure and still retain possession. Excellent first touch.
 
our clear chance creation is still poor...still need someone to unlock tight defences

his quick accurate hard passing was underrated, very hard to defend them. Unfortunately at times he was passing to Adebayor whos touch is usually poor.
 
Based on that half:

Impressed by:
Dawson (Looks very calm now, he used to be so erratic at the back, but he's improved so much)
Paulinho (Looks very solid, unlucky to have his goal ruled out)
Chadli (Beats a player very well)
Dembele (Our best player in my view)
Fryers (Looking solid, but no surprise as he's alongside Dawson)


Disappointing:
Sigurdsson (Not imposed himself on the game in a position that is his)
Rose (Not been good enough, but I know he's talented and he's new to our team)
Lennon (Bright start but not done anything of note)

Good first half summation.
 
The most important thing to me today... is whether Kaboul is (1) ready and (2) fit for the first 3 games, as we can't expect Fryers to be up to "that good enough" level... yet.
