(even assuming you are correct) With Hirst & Bright, Keegan & Toshack, Hooper & Fletcher, Shearer and Sheringham etc etc etc etc...who gives a fig which of the partners was the main reason for it working? Fletcher & Rhodes has worked this season. Why try to find excuses not to try it when it becomes available once more? Because Rhodes is terrible.

He is not good enough and arguably pound for pound our worst signing ever. Let’s move on for crying out loud. Do you mean injury for injury?

pazowl55 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Is it really the partnership of Rhodes and Fletcher that is doing it though or just Monk getting his 4-4-2 tactic spot on in noticing vulnerabilities in the opposition and any strike partner with Fletcher in those particular games would have had the same results.

Good shout. Guess which paring has easily the second best success record this season? Fletcher-Nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is in the games where it hasn't worked with Rhodes and Fletcher. Rhodes has looked proper poor in, which has ultimately led to where he is now. Not even making the bench. Personally I think Monk discovered what I discovered ages ago that it's more down the the tactics in place that suit Fletcher and the team and anyone could have partnered him and been equally as good. How many games could Rhodes have potentially partnered Fletcher this season but hasn't.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull the formation didnt work. Hence my point. How many times could Monk have picked the dream Partnership then but choose not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
