rossDas 1,071 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 In a word - no.Our central defence is suspect, tho admittedly better than it was. Any injurys can throw a spanner in the works. I'm happy with Smith and Hutton tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hutton has to play like that every week and Svensson has to keep improving. We need a commanding centre half tho. Hemdani is good but not good enough to play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bon03 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 noneed someone who is not afraid to put his head in where it hurts,hemdani i feel needs to be restored into midfield with barry,and clement takin charlie's position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiper 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Over the past few games I thought the defence has been good. Svenson is definetely improving. He looked solid today.Hemdani...I can't say much to criticise him at the moment since he scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,104 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Brahim ain't a defender,didn't win a ball in the air all day so we must get a big centre half to replace him.If we play Hemdani at all it should be midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 We need at least two good defenders in January. No way is that defence the one that will win us anything. Svensson, Hutton and Smtih are constantly improving but are nowhere near the finished articles and Hemdani needs to be playing in midfield as he cannot deal with balls over the top or in the air. A couple of decent defenders in the transfer window will give us a good range of defenders available and means that injuries wouldn't hurt us as bad.

bearwhocares 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 There is a definate improvement but thats come from playing a settled format.We definately need a CH to play alongside Svensson and let Hemdani play where he belongs in the midfield.I honestly believe Svensson will be a great player for Gers if he has a commanding presence beside him then in the next season or two he will be the one who commands the penalty area.Dare I say it, Elvis ????

The commanding central defender theory to improve Svensson is a red herring in my opinion. It would certainly improve the defence but Svensson needs to improve his timing, heading,positioning, marking and awareness.( I couldn't believe it yesterday when he turned his back on the ball as it bounced in the area)Only the player can improve his play. Even with a dominant defender the opposition will still target a weak link.It ia almost like saying we could play Burke, for example, won't win the ball in the air, cannot tackle,at central defence with a dominant defender beside him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
novosalegend 2 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Its a hard one to keep playin hemdani in defence as we do need more physical guy in there but where would he go.most of us would agree he has a consistant player, but if we stick to our current 4-4-2 which is suiting us well where would he go?I love Smith as a player especailly going forward but he isnt too hot at defending(slight worry there)Svensson scares me at times but he was tipped to be a possible candidate for the captain of Sweden at some point.Hutton again like some one has mentioned earlier needs to be consistant and play like he did yesterday every week!so to sum it all up i would go for our normal back 3 minus hemdani(possibly rotate in midfield) and replace him with a big stong Centre Half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 We NEED at the minimum ONE commanding CH maybe even two.Our fullbacks need to improve too as neither are great so another good fullback would be nice.Hutton played well yesterday but has a long way to go. Smith has REGRESSED recently and is poor defensively. Our whole defence is a joke at crosses.Conclusion: Our defence has been more settled, but can be VASTLY improved.

Wreckedroy 33 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Maybe Papac would have improved given time and patience? I think we should have stuck with him & Svensson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
