What do players offer?


Recommended Posts

A lot of fans, Rowett and many commentators all seem to be very conflicted about what the squad currently has/needs and who offers what, welcome for anyone to put their best suggestion forward?

So far seen:

we lack creativity- vydra, Butterfield, Thorne, Huddlestone

we lack energy- Bryson, Johnson, Russell, Weimann, 

we lack leaders- shackell, Pearce, keogh, Davies, 

we lack pace- Russell, Weimann,Bennett, nugent

Is it players are not fulfilling there role/offering do they offer anything other than adding to numbers, sorry for some of the awful descriptions, really struggled with some to define their defining characteristics.

I think the OP is asking people for their opinion on the positive attributes of the players. But I'm not entirely sure.

That's the first time I've seen Jamie Hanson compared to Xavi. And last I'd imagine.   

And poor old Kelle Roos, only a "potential goalkeeper". Harsh. At least Jonathan Mitchell got a "young".

I know the midfield don't offer fast reliable passing, positive positioning. They aren't fast to react to loose balls. They'll never go between the lines of opposition defence and midfield preferring instead to hold hands and stand so close to back 4 that a Keogh erection would touch them. 

The only way they go forward without the ball is when the ball has gone past them and by the time they arrive we've lost it.
