Wouldn't mind Obertan's runs on the flanks, but the question is who do you replace him with?

knowing AP he’ll bring on perch for Spiderman… o wait

What...just...happened?

by RealDealNeal on Jan 28, 2012 6:05 PM GMT reply actions  

I wouldnt mind taking out Shola, moving HBA up and putting Obertan on the side

I'm not certain we need a change yet...

we’ve had some ideas offensively… if we crisp up our passing a bit, I think there could be a goal in it from the players on now

and I think Gaby could give their left defense a bit of hassle… just think we’re not far away as it sits. There’s a reason why I’m here on my couch and AP is where he is, though

I think we can still criticize

My one problem with him other than whenever Shola starts over HBA, is that I think he does sub later than what I think would be optimal. We always call for changes way before he ever makes them which is frustrating.

Surely we can and should.

Based purely on this season’s body of work, however, HBA in a central role is not a recipe for success. I’d probably rather Obertan for HBA and go 4-4-2 leaving Shola and Leon up top. Not saying I would make that move right now, but I’d just rather that than Shola out and HBA up top.

Im the opposite

I think Shola is a bit too heavy and will tire out as soon as we get around the 75th minute onwards. I think HBA can do more than Shola.
