Ashley Young free kicks - why?

[BannedUserIAT]

I reckon he gets a fully stuffed brown paper bag from 'arry to stick 'em over. That he tells everyone else to fuck off boils my piss. When you've got a success rate of two thirds of one fifth of fuck all percent, it's time to admit you're a complete ****** and leave it someone else. Anyone else.

Ashley Young in general - why? Sell him, N'Zogbia is much better.

Could'nt agree more, his deliveries are terrible and have been for the past two seasons, i'd even prefer Friedel to take them if it meant Young was off them, our deliveries against Blackburn last week were so much better

Agree.

N'Zogbia is awesome, and we'd even trouser £5 mill.

He has never intimated he wants to leave. He never stops trying. He runs his nuts off. Granted, he wastes some set pieces, but that cant be the basis of selling him. N'Zogbia is a highlights player, very over-rated.

Yes but.

Yes but he was our chief play maker when MON said he was 'world class'.

He's not the same player now - we need players who can change a game, and Ash was sussed on the wing, so changed his game, but not for the better.

[Taylor]

He scored from a free kick this season against Bolton.

I don't think there have been many direct free kick goals anywhere.

N Zogbia for Young, give me a break. It seems to me that every other goal we score Ashley Young contributed, don't believe he gets the praise he deserves, the only downside to his game is a tendancy to fall down too easily, he still gets the odd penalty decision though.

[Chris Smith]

Young is twice the player N'Zogbia.

[Villatillidie25]

Ash believes his own hype unfortunately. We need him back on the wing but with fullbacks who give him a helping hand. Maybe try him on the right for a couple of weeks with Walker bombing past him. Other teams were able to double mark him because MoN told out fullbacks that to go over the halfway line was a cardinal sin. It would also get him away from that stupid position hes playing at the moment where he flounces around like a pre madonna, doesnt get into the game and does generally sweet f a. It will also allow Downing back on the left where hopefully he will regain form from beginning of the season and allow us to rest MA.

[TimTheVillain]

Yep, get the best out of him or sell.

[Ian.]

Young was the best player on the pitch against Man City. He works very hard as well for a creative player. I'd rather have him that N'zobia any day.
I think the real problem is we rely too much on him.

I do agree we should mix it up a bit with free kicks.

[Chris Smith]

It amazes me how many people don't get it. Haven't sussed that we've changed the way we play, haven't worked out that we don't play with wingers, haven't acecpeted that if we want to progess we have to adapt, haven't noticed how much good work Young does and haven't aknowledged that it was his ball that set Downing away for the goal last night. He's our most creative player so he's best played where he can be most involved.

Right ok. Last 3 league games. Man City - Shot parried by Hart for Bent's goal. That changed the game. Wigan - Won and converted a penalty, which turned out to be the winning goal. Think that changed the game too. Man Utd - Great pass to release Downing in the build up to Bent's goal, and hit crossbar with stunning late strike. Not enough for you?

[Risso]

I'm perfectly happy with Ashley Young's general play, I just think his free kicks suck balls.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Totally agree about his free kicks, the one we got 2nd half last night you already knew what was going to happen. Anybody got any footage of the last time he put in a decent direct free kick on goal, let alone scored one.
