Christ, after years of searching for a left winger of world class standard we decide to play him in a different position so that the search continues.....
It is so frustrating. He is one of the most feared left wingers in the world, but by coming inside he's getting crowded out. Today for example we had modric, VDV and parker all in the space Bale was going for. Makes no sense. I can see how HR might think by letting him roam inside it will flood the middle and give the fullbacks space to get forward, but I kind of think against teams like Wolves who want it congested in the middle, that we should use the width as much as we can, drag there players out a little and create the space which VDV and Luka thrive on!

again we've been clamed by the ref/lino...Ade was ONSIDE...that was NOT A CORNER (clearly, clearly not a corner)...having said that, Daws worried me today, not as solid and too many deep punts...but if you'd told me that in mid-Jan, after a disappointing draw with Wolves at home, that we'd be third, 6 points clear of Chavski, 2 off City and United at the top, I'd be very, very happy indeed.

Dawson - terrible passing
Kaboul - what's the point of his runs? he just runs untill he winds up on the left flank with nowhere to go and then he lose the ball
Walker - did his usual Zoolander impression, still can't turn left. this is something they must work on, at times it's ridiculous.
Parker - wooden leg.
Bale and VDV - would be happy if I never had to see them take a freekick again, they are absolutely awful at it.
Ade - wouldn't mind if he was in the box at times, so we could put in some crosses.
'Arry - terrible substitutions, Rose instead of BAE, what? And you don' take off Lennon unless he is not fit to continue (don't know if that was the case).
We are in serious need of a game changer from the bench, Defoe is a great alternative to sub in when we are a chasing a goal, but he doesn't influence the flow of the game at all. Same with Pav, the are both good scorers, but we need some creativity off the bench.

Not surprised considering the tackle on him by Kightly!
Anyway, I'm sick of Bale's roaming, it's beginning to frustrate me, he seems to be getting in the way of people and then he moves over to the right. It seems to just make Adebayor go out to the left leaving him to cross for Bale in the middle when for me it should be the other way round, probably why we are after Remy, as he can play anywhere up top.
Walker's passing is awful. I thought Parker was below average today but he's just coming back from an injury and for me shouldn't of completed the full game. Dawson was poor, don't really want to say anything else on his performance because I'd probably get slated. I dislike Kaboul roaming forward. Disappointed that we haven't picked up three points when really we should be against Wolves... chance blown (as usual?).. but we are still in it. 17/18 games left..

This its massively fudging me off as he looks half the player he does keep coming in and doing all these flicks and tricks

Anyone else think we looked like Arsenal from a few years ago? Nice attacking passing football but with absolutely no end product at all. In Adebayor, we've got someone who can hold up the ball, bring others in but as well as missing that, we still haven't got that DEADLY goalscorer.

Agree on the last part. Ade has made a real difference, and has been unlucky at times (including with today's disallowed goal). But all the very top teams have real class up front, we need that if we are going to push for top spot, and top 3 over the next 4 months. Generally we have not been ruthless enough in games this year, we is quite something considering how well and dominant we have been. Today we should have won this game, and even though we shoudl still be very happy we are picking up points even when things don't go our way, I do think our squad options aren't as great as sometimes portrayed. Someone like Remy would be the kind of addition we need, anyone think of anyone else?

Where was Samba for the goal? Still stuck in the medical bay? Terrible defending!!

dont agree that bale should be stuck out wide. i think his movements benefits the team more for many reasons.
plus one or two or 3 or 4 games isnt enough for me to abandon something that has been getting us results in the last 20 games
knee jerk is a perfect title for this thread
great to have GG back and running. one draw and people want to break rank / system and run for more predictability which brings more mediocrity

Why is that funny? Dawson is a pretty brick defender, it should be obvious to everyone.

Been debating with a couple of people on here regarding Dawson. I dont think he is brick but his ability and strengths are suited to certain teams. Gallas against Stoke couldnt handle their physical strength but Dawson may have as his strengths are more suited.
Also I was watching Soccer Saturday where they think Dawson is better than Cahill and actually a very good defender. These are ex pros.
