james o connor Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Lee is finished and should be nothing more than back up behind pelupessy. Ideally I’d like to improve on Hutchinson and bannan but realistically Rome wasn’t built in a day and money is tight . Luongo should be the first name with the rest filtering in how monk sees fit.

Ideally I’d like to improve on Hutchinson and bannan but realistically Rome wasn’t built in a day and money is tight . Luongo should be the first name with the rest filtering in how monk sees fit. He is not finished but yes he is well off the pace. He has lost speed and strength. It would be a miracle if he hadn’t. In a midfield 3, at home, against modest opponents (is there such a thing in this crazy Championship?) I think he is still a good option, but he is nowhere near what he was. Of course, it’s entirely possible that his speed and certainly his strength will improve. Hope so. Putting aside the emotional loyalty to Kieran that many of us rightly show, Luongo is the stronger option right now. But Kieran coming on for fatigue or injury with 25 minutes left is a great option.

Pelupessy is now a better option than lee and his performances this year have been better . That’s just how it is . I agreed with lee getting a year , it was a cheap punt and he would still give his all , he is now no longer upto the standard required . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the manager must be living in the past as Lee got on before Joey . Lee started the season well and then faded a bit but thats understandable from where he has been . Lee still has plenty to offer or he wouldn't be getting in the squad would he But you would know better than Monk wouldn't you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your black and white world Pessy is apparently better than Lee. But they are different players? Lee came on for Luongo and the job was to retain possession and break forward. There is absolutely no way that Pessy was a better option on Tuesday. You want to simplfy things too much matey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. #justsayno #crackiswhack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiregreenowl 80 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 On 23/10/2019 at 15:41, Quist said: This post is spot on. We have certain players who have very good qualities and are a real talent. However the opposition know this and put plans in place to thwart them playing to their strengths. Our current midfield finds it difficult against pacey highly energetic midfield players because neither are blessed with great pace. Leeds are a team who will use lots of pace in this area and a method will have to be found to counter this. Bannan has not been seen at his best in last two games because opposition have players who disrupt his style. The OP made a suggestion and if Lee had running power of 3 seasons ago it would be a good call. The midfield players at Monk's disposal do not fit together ideally in all situations and I am certain this and striking area are high on agenda for additions to be made. But other players are getting more space such as luongo and taking up the mantal. Same as teams are doubling up on Harris but its opening it up for other players. More of these quality plays you have the greater chance of winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 On 23/10/2019 at 09:39, asteener1867 said: Can we not simply drop Bannan when he has a bad game? instead of shouting for his head when he's merely the second or third best player on the pitch? Its bloody nonsense Well to be fair I suggested starting others in front of Bannan, not stating that Bannan should be relegated to the bench. Admittedly that is semantics because it amounts to the same thing, but I was being positive about a different midfield three rather than being negative about Bannan, and if you look back I have said some very positive things about Bannan too. I merely think we need to keep players on their feet and making a change like this could be very positive whilst giving a proverbial kick up the backside to some who think they are assured a start.

Lee has shown this season he is still class and has the ability. He can't show it when he ain't on the pitch. He can't stay match fit with the game time under his belt. Also, and this is my most pertinent point. Which town is missing their idiot when you are on here? Edited October 24, 2019 by Salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
