DYC. 7,542 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hubris is the downfall of many. I'd rather win ugly than lose beautifully.That wasn't the point. We spend 10x as much as Wigan and they would switch squads with us in a heart beat yet we should worry about how to stop them? They should be the ones concerned about how to stop our players.

Dylan_91 90 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 it annoys me how rdm seems to think he has to play with a defensive winger in every match. No other top clubs play with one. As much as i like bertrand id much rather see sturridge playing. He offers so much more going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Mind boggling. Instead of choosing Sturridge he chooses a LB...He is digging his own grave very early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting inside, refusing to pass, and blasting it into row Z?At least Bertrand will pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We dont really have the depth required IMO.... even with bertrand playing, we only have a couple of players that can change the game from the bench.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I wouldnt quite complain about the defenders being out there just yet. If Wigan are anything like they were nearing the end of last season then it might be necessary. Bringing in 1 attacking starter, who has never played in this league, does not change that one bit.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sturridge probably not playing becuase of the lack of striking options as we have no other ones, making a 3rd choice striker essential... Interesting with Hazard on the right, could be setting up to see if he can get Hazard on the right and then our RW problems could be solved... Also potential for Oscar to come in at CAM with mata moving to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Dear people slating RDM for using a 'defensive winger' instead of someone else - Ryan Bertrand started his career as a winger. He was then converted to an attacking full-back.He is possibly the best crosser in our squad.Many of you say Sturridge should have started there, but you'd then complain about him being selfish and not passing to Torres. Bertrand is unselfish, and a team player. He doesn't care about personal glory (yet).He deserves to start our first Premier League game of the season after helping us defeat Bayern Munich in our very last game of last season.That is all.
