I know this has already been discussed in part.
But listening the Blue Monday pod with the EFL ‘expert’ Gaby, he seemed to suggest that Ali’s success at Wimbledon related to playing off another striker, indeed a striker who’s form and hard work were instrumental to Ali’s form.
Now of course Ali is probably not meant to be a starter for some time.. maybe not even this season. He’s a future investment. But it must be tempting McKenna to get both on the pitch to increase our threat. Which has hampered us of late.
Would it be Chaplin and the number ten role that is the casualty? So more a 4-2-4… with Sarmiento/Broadhead and Burns/Hutchison out wide. Albeit on the left the wide attacker tends to come in a little to allow Davis to go wide. Clarke deeper on the other side.
Going to be interesting.
Massive noise and support for Moore Saturday… a home goal for him would be superb. |  |

Having Moore/Ali will make a big difference - whoever we've played lately has known they can press the life out of the first receivers because there was no option to clip the ball over their head and make it stick.
Now if they want to go man for man in the press we clip it to Moore and we go from there and take half their team out of the game |
Exactly this.
We all saw the difference over the two halves last weekend. |  |

Tell morsy to speed up
Recently he's been showing Douglas level turning skills.
It's slow. Ponderous and has got us into trouble. |
Eh?
Seriously? |  |
| Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness. |

Suspension? |
Morsy?
Our skipper?

Yes
2 goals last week were caused by morsy as prime examples. |  |

Well no.
But we won one and drew one game without him. So not sure why you mentioned suspensions. | |

Including the one where he was fouled? | |

Yes.
Reason 1. It wasn't a foul but we've seen them given.
Reason 2. He took so long to get going he made it easier for the preston player to get alongside him. | |

….but in essence he’s right.
Morsy slows down our transition phase massively. It was really obvious I. Comparison to how quickly PNE broke forward last week,
He needs to either make a quicker progressive pass, or release it quickly to someone who will. |  |

Ok. Can't say I've particularly noticed this.
I'll have a closer look tomorrow. | |

Your comment got me thinking.
I looked up the MoM awards and currently Morsy and Hladky are tieing on 8 each. Not scientific and there are some odd scores given to players some times, but if people are voting in reasonable numbers, it's safe to say the cream generally rise to the top.
Also, Morsy has played almost every minute of every game he's played under KM, so we can only presume he's content with his role in all our transitions?
I'm really not sure I've noticed how he has consistently slowed down our transitions. Perhaps he's had to hold the ball up whilst waiting for a quicker transition from colleagues?
I'm certainly not buying slow and ponderous or a comparison with Dougie. | |

So Morsy is caught out and makes two very rare errors (and I also thought he was fouled for the 1st goal) and now he’s slow and ponderous
Wow…. Nothing like being reactionary. He has been our best player for over a year, leads us on and off the pitch. He’s brave in possession and opposition team struggle to deal with him. He started wave after wave of attacks in the second half….. but yeah he’s become slow and ponderous.
You really haven’t got a clue |  | | |

No he's always been that way and I've commented on it before, it's just the speed in which in plays.
However as you mention the 2nd half that was much better and what we needed. But need to see that much earlier on from him.
It's OK to be critical about players even the club captain.
The one who doesn't have a clue is you if you feel its not possible to have a discussion about a player without being insulting. | |

Honestly look back first half last week and watch only morsy. He was so slow and no not just waiting for others.
Also. At times he literally stood still. I've never actually seen him do that before.. but he actually did rather than move to receive a pass. | |

I’m all for a discussion but when the discussion becomes absurd, I think it’s ok to point it out.
If saying ‘you haven’t got a clue’ is an insult apologies….. but it is only what those on here who know a bit about the game think. [Post edited 9 Feb 12:22]

Personally. I can't see how anyone can think he's fast out the blocks tbh.
It's quite obvious as another poster has acknowledged too. | |

Moore and Al-Hamadi give us different options. Moore is the hold it up and let everyone join in type, Al-Hamadi suits a more high press with numbers set up. Hirst is able to adapt to both systems and I’m sure we’ll be working to get Moore playing both ways. Harry Kane never did it for England or Spurs but he seems to be managing it very well at Bayern. We’ve got some of the best coaches and analysis in the country so anything is possible. | | | |

Wrong again. We've won one and drew two without him. Certainly QPR at home we'd have a much better chance of winning with Morsy in the team. That's 2 points dropped, so perfectly valid to mention. | |

You also said "It wasn't a foul". But the officials have apologised for it. So it clearly was a foul. If it were debatable the officials wouldn't be apologising for it. Simple as that. | |
