fraser54 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 A simple question and i will give you a answer We were bossed about inj midfield by a 38 year old guy who smokes 40 fags a day. That's just shpocking no disrespect to Latapy but young Clement should have him in his back pocket 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Don't underestimate Latapy. He's one of the best in our league at 'pulling the strings' in midfield, and as young as Clement is.. there's no substitute for experience. And 9 times out of 10, in conditions like that yesterday, experience will triumph over youth. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 What went wrong yesterday was Falkirk won the midfield battle coz they are similar to the other 137 professional teams in the UK that they have a midfield and understand its common knowledge to play players across the middle rather than just lump 2 players in the same position. We havent had a midfield for over 3 years now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraser54 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Im not underestimating Latapy but he is 38 doesn't have the same legs as Clement. Clement should easily win that battle 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in conditions like that yesterday, I'd take experience over a young French lad any day of the week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisabeer 409 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 none of leguens buys in the summer are any good. Infact we gave away better players. he fucked up big time in the transfer market and i would like to hear him admit that. we are fucking crap and its not going to get any better with the squad we have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,703 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Maybe it's because Clement isn't the superstar some us seemed to think he was. However he does need support in there. We have all been saying for weeks maybe months now that the formation does not work home or away. How long will it take PLG to realise that 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,060 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I thought our biggest problem was having composure in the final 3rd of the pitch. We lacked width and even though we played with 2 wide players, Novo and Prso were rarely looking for the ball in wide positions in an attempt to stretch their defence and create space. On the occasions we did, chances were created and no-one was there to take them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,761 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 IMO there is more pressure on the srtikers to score,due to the fact they probably know we will loose goals,if we were tight at the back the rest of the team would be relaxed and confident. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
