Saudibear 0 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Since arrival Mendes has probably been our best player. However since Miller and Davis have been out we have looked half the team we are with them present at least in an attacking sence. The movement off the ball from the rest of the players is very poor to say the least. Barry runs 3-5 yards from Mendes, you can't use the words Adam and run in the same sentence, JCD is quite simply past it and Lafferty does not know what to do out on the wing. With this in mind I guggest Davis and miller (Although it sticks in my throat to say it) are just as if not more important to us than Pedro. Discuss.

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Was salivating at the thought of Fergie & Mendes playing together, shows just how much I know I suppose. <_< Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalbraith 0 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think it's more to do with the fact that Mendes is playing too deep to accomodate Barry McStay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Think he's been excellent at home but goes missing far too often away from home. When we are on our travels it's like he drops to the level of the rest of the team. I don't think he's doing enough away from home and I don't think the return of Ferguson has helped - it's a partnership that I never see working. He is clearly missing Davis and especially Thomson. There is only so much he can do and at times in the last 2 matches he's been playing his position and also covering for Adam, Lafferty and Ferguson.

BoltonLoyal 2 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 There was a point yesterday when BF was stood 5 yards from PM in the centre circle and instead of moving away he demanded the ball from him. Now i know BF has done this with, let's say, 'less gifted' players in the past, but if someone like PM thinks he has to give the ball to BF every time he demands it we might as well get all our future signings from the 3rd Division because it won't matter what calibre of player we have. Mendes, Thomson (when available), Davies and gallingly Miller should all be on the teamsheet before BF whilst he is in this sort of form. Have no idea what Edu must be thinking when he sits there watching CA, LM and SW getting a game in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenDavis 112 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We should put atleast Davis or Edu in the middle along with him and Novo on the right. Ferguson is coming back too early and shouldn't be in the team just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager 498 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Mendes cannot do it all on his own. He has had no help at all from Barry, Adam and Lafferty. (Laugherty amost on the wing.) He never stops passing, moving, tracking, etc. Just wish the rest would watch him. Covers more ground than the other three combined. Needs help though - i.e. Davis and Thomson plus Miller with Boyd up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct, we played with only one in midfield and no matter how good Mendes is and how hard he works he can not do it on his own as he has had to do in the last 2 games.
