Minton Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 He's got the physical strength to play as a DM, but do you think he's got the passing and distribution skills to play there? It's already been said that he doesn't have the best football brain and if he is responsible for starting attacking moves and retaining possession, then we need someone who is able to do that time and time again, rather than a hit and hope or a constant spray of misplaced passes. He's a good CB, lets work on improving him there rather than make him a poor DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 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! As opposed to centre back, where youre never required to tackle? As for not being able to pass, JoC has had a career at CM without that ability, so did carlton palmer... Play him with miller and jones and otsemobor and he wouldnt really need to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 He's an outstanding Centre Half in the making, I think some of our players would benefit from a change in position but not Reda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlton Palmer could pass it. In the early 90's he was our weakest ball player in an outstanding team. 10 years later he joins us again, when he is well past his best and he is our best passer. it summed up perfectly how far we had gone backwards. In our current team, Palmer would look like Johann Cruyff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside_Owl Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 He can't pass a ball for a start. But I will say on Monday he looked a million miles more composed and calm. Maybe it's to do with his court case being over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1981 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 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? I don't know, there's been times this season where our back 4 has made the opposition look like Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
