he wasnt that impressive yesterday to be honest - barry bannon got motm and even he wasnt that good


much of a muchness in midfield we have at the minute and nobody stands out

we have the closing down, the hunting in packs, fighting for every ball etc etc but we dont have ANYBODY that can pass

this thread actually depresses me (no offence to the original poster)

some of the midfielders we have had (in the not too distant past) and we are trying to big up a league 1 midfielder who has had a couple of non-descript appearances

I was looking at this site and then I saw your post and heaven knows I'm miserable now.

Miner and Barry have been in the prem for a long time. KEA has come from a different football culture and needs time to adapt. I think he could be as good as both of them given time ....

You say nobody who can pass. Westwood had 90% passing accuracy yesterday, and that was including some tricky through balls and switch passes. So he can absolutely certainly pass.

90% pass accuracy is nothing to be sniffed at when you're trying to make tough passes and against a couple of top class midfielders.

with the exception of Draper

Draper was fantastic in the 95/96 season.

~Indeed he was - none more so in The Win Nothing With Kids game when Keane couldn't get near him. Diminished in effectivenss once Curcic was signed. Classic balance in midfield of Townsend, Taylor and Draper at the time.

This is a debate forum as you have already acknowledged. But banter is also a part of debating in every day life. Just accept other peoples comments and treat it with  a bit of humour :-))

One of the things we can enjoy is watching the performances and improvement in some of these young players and his performance yesterday was excellent.

I remain unconvinced by KEA though.

Westwood will be a class act in due course. I think he made some good passes yesterday - and against manUre - and his positioning and general game-management has been good.

I'd like to see Herd given a run - when fit - alongside him and BB to see how it pans out.
