shandypants Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I’m all for getting the ball out wide but to expect Pelupessy to be the only midfielder with any defensive responsibility is madness. Don’t drop Bannan, just play a midfield with more bite. Edited February 1, 2020 by shandypants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraschenbern Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Just drop Bannan. He is the main issue with our tactics. Sick of the same from him week in week out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The issue is movement there's zero movement towards the player with the ball, every one just goes for the ball over the top constantly even if it's not on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play two wide men in advanced positions then you need a midfield pairing with some bite. I felt sorry for Bannan and more so for Pelupessy because they were overrun at times.

I get that but the technical side of the game is supposed be his strength yet today he was garbage at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re doing him disservice by saying he was horrific. Not his best game but he was still effective (but not spectacular) outside his defensive duties.

Miffed Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Blind passes, floated corners, ineffective in defensive positions....honestly, If Bannan had a different name on the back of his shirt he would have been getting pelters from our fans. If we have ambitions of achieving anything we need to be looking at better, more consistent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Any team with Bannan as the focal point of its midfield will never get out of this league. He’s a good player and should be an important squad member, but he needs to be part of a much stronger midfield unit rather than the main man. He should not be an automatic starter, but our options in the middle of the park are so poor that he’s currently seen as untouchable by some. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan is the problem, not Pelupessy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
