Salmonbones Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Both of these to me should start against Leeds, and that probably means benching Bannan. Yes Bannan is the one who delivers the killer balls but he sometimes makes us predictable - and Lee and Luongo both offer an awful lot moving forwards. With Hutch just behind them, we could actually be more of an attacking force moving forwards. We don't score much from Midfield - Luongo has a couple now, and to be honest his goals have been opportunistic - just like Lee of old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Definitely a no from me with leaving Bannan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Agree with Luongo and Lee being in, would drop Hutch for either Pelupessy or Bannan. I think Hutch is going to get sent off or injured every time I watch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all he offers, he also makes the team at times one dimensional. Now, don't get me wrong, when he's on song he is a joy to behold but I do think we should mix it up and not be predictable for the opposition also.

TANGLED UP IN BLUE Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hutch and Luongo bossed midfield 1st half, won the battles and the Stoke players never had time to settle. That daft tackle early doors from Hutch was pure frustration at everyone backing off, daft tackle yes but it got the message across to our players and theirs that were gonna get stuck in. Bazza got in the mix too when needed but could have kept the ball better at times I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no one to pass to tonight, he was frustrated somewhat. Lee and Luongo are the type to make space, be creative and offer alternatives. The problem with Bannan is he won't play left of centre, which would be ideal, then you could accommodate all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not confident enough that Lee would be a better choice than Bannan. Yeh the Lee from three years ago. But I need to see him play like that again from the bench before swapping Bannan for him.

No 2 is r nilsson Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Most teams know they have to man mark Bannan out of the game or he’ll run it in the middle. He’s not given any space. Rather than drop him we need other players to pick up some of the creativity that Bannan offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
