Animal is a Ram Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 What I'd hope for (in an ideal world): Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Olsson Ince Hughes Johnson Camara Vydra Martin Johnson to be a destroyer, Hughes to be the creative, Camara/Ince/Weimann/Russell to provide some width, Martin to provide his usual clever lay offs to Wilson/Vydra. It all sounds so easy. On paper. Trouble is, they're human. There's no expression of their abilities, whether that's because Pearson wants them to be so rigid, or because nobody has any confidence, or any belief in themselves, or each other, I don't know. Everyone's out of form. No one wants to be the one that goes beyond the play - as @Alpha said. Until either Pearson lets them, or they have the confidence to do it, there's only Keogh that dares take the ball on and drive at goal. Even then everyone else stands and watches. And it inevitably comes back to him, who passes to Shackell, who passes to Keogh ad inifinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
