Guest YorkOwl89 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I know this has been mentioned before with some scepticism, but Pepe is playing in defensive midfield tonight against Barcelona. I know Reda is obviously not the same quality as Pepe but its interesting that Mourinho has put Pepe, who is a skillful player but prone to mistakes in the center of defence, in defensive midfield. When I've watched Reda this season he's had good feet but like Pepe, prone to mistakes. I think in pre season it would interesting to see Megson experiment with him in defensive midfield.

Mountain Owl Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Reda has something which unfortunately Rob Jones will never have, and that is plenty of pace. I predict he will come good next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s6 owls fan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) was it something like 150k for reda i think its a bargain to say united bought mini chedders for 3mill Edited April 27, 2011 by s6 owls fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saturday Owl Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Reeda will come good at centre half, he's shown the class he has recently and now Megson is in he'll be much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Reda needs working on... He has all the physical attributes but does he have a head on his shoulders? Not yet certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 was it something like 150k for reda i think its a bargain to say united bought mini chedders for 3mill It was only £3m before they found out he was poo . That amount magically went down as soon as they realised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think hed be a revalation in CM with a skillful player next to him and a pair of attacking full backs. His enthusiasm would be an asset, not a liability as it is a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last_Great_Hope Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 He put Pepe as an anchor to screen against Messi. I don't think there are players of Messi's individual brilliance in League One, so can't see why we would even need to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Buxton upfront like Adebayor? To be fair, you know Lewis would find a way to become good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depeche Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Let me get this right. You want players to mould themselves on a lunatic like Pepe who shows time and again that he shouldn't be allowed on a pitch as long as there is a opposition. That man should have been banned for life for his attack on the getafe-player a few years back. A grade A scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew6666 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Can Reda roll and roll and roll and roll though when involved in a tackle when he hasnt been touched like Pepe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 "Geary sent off" might be replaced by "Reda sent off" if he went to CM :0) Why would he be more likley to get sent off in centre midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Why would he be more likley to get sent off in centre midfield? Cos his tackling is clumsy. In CM he'll be in the heat of the battle and have to go in for more tackles, which runs the risk of mis-timing more tackles, therefore a greater chance of seeing two yellows!

Guest BoomTownOwls Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If Reda had pace, mobility, a decent touch and could pick a pass I would definitely play him in midfield. But he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly mobile for a big guy to be fair, Passing is typically poor though, probably not a midfielder, but I like the way he tries to bring the ball out of defence more these days, rather than always going for the big heave up field.
