Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted January 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2020 ...these three They all worked absolutley tirelessly in that midfield today. On a day where we knew that the opposition would have the Lions share they kept their shape, closed down as a unit and used the ball quickly and efficiently. Lee showed why he has been such a good player to us over the years with his effervescent display. All over the place getting a foot in and keeping the ball ticking over. Luongo, brave and not afraid to get a whack. Looking, when safe to do so to burst forward and support the front line. And praise too for Pelupessy. Yes. So many times Brighton didn't make a pass, because he'd got himself in a good position, and stopped them making it. The unseen work. Not haring across and making blockbuster tackles, but getting in positions that stop that pass coming in in the first place. Really helped give is a good shape and gave the platform for Luongo to get forward. Absolute Textbook away from home midfield perfromance from these lads. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they get the chance to replicate against leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They link up really well and you could see the communication. Delighted for them to have been given the opportunity and for ALL of them to have come in and done themselves proud.

Consummate away performance from these three. Shape at the right times, Lee and Luongo breaking at the right times. Pelupessy always holding things to the counter.

Well said that man, and it proves we can field a three in midfield and manage to exert some form of control 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 All of them were brilliant today but a special mention to KL he's probably the most intellegent footballer we have in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I believe to have been true for 4 years. Going back to our under use of Bannan and Lee in front of Hutch or Lopez in DC Year One. But that's old ground. . Monk has in fairness attempted this before , tried to keep it tight and nick goals. But many mumped about us not playing two up top and not going for it. A 4 year old conundrum.

jonnyowl Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Does anyone else remember Birmingham at home with Lee and Luongo in middle with Bannan and we controlled the first half! Not surprised on how well they did today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised on how well they did today! Which brings us to another part of it. Today our midfield players had options to pass to , meaning they didn't have to keep coming further and further back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Bannan, Lee and Lungo (hutch and pelup as back up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieowl87 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Joey didn't look out of place or that he was being carried by the other two. A midfield three only works if all three do just that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 For to agree. Thought them three were ace in the middle today. Brilliant to see Lee back and playing like that. Joey did well int the horrible role. 1 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
