Re: Why is everyone upset about the turner injury?

I'm not upset. :confused: We might be able to keep the ball on the f***ing deck away from home for a short period of time.
 
Re: Why is everyone upset about the turner injury?

because we didnt just lose one centre back this week, we lost two and that cant be good...
 
Re: Why is everyone upset about the turner injury?

Been our best CB in the last few games. Gets a lot of unjust criticism on here. He'll be a big miss.

agree 100%, not the quickest but his positioning and reading of the game are top attributes imo.

whos the lass in your avatar btw? ;)
 
Re: Why is everyone upset about the turner injury?

Because after the Aston villa and newcastle games I was getting told on here how turner was shit and not as good as danny Collins. No matter how much I defended turner he was a 'clogger' and a 'shit defender'.

Surely it's a good thing he's injured? :lol: idiots ;) :lol:

Who said that?

Really? I'd say those are things he really needs to work on.

nah i've seen him slip infront of the striker numerous times to nick the ball, and he is cauight out positionally as is any other defender but its fairly rare imo. His lack of pace is never really that relevant as he gets in a good position to use his defensive skills and not get exposed by his lack of pace imo.

Not having a settled back 4 was our main downfall last season, and now we wont have one again
 
Re: Why is everyone upset about the turner injury?

At least Mensah never gets injured
 
Re: Why is everyone upset about the turner injury?

Agree to a certain extent, has lifted his game recently didn't put a foot wrong at Spurs, however, if you go over the Chelsea game he consistently lunged/dived into the tackle and missed, this was disguised by the fact he got away with it and he was not punished.
He was at fault for Cahills goal, ball watching and allowing Cahill to sneak space behind him.

We all know good defenders hold their ground and only dive in when sure to get the ball.
Richardson also fits into the diving in habit, he usually fouls the guy in the process.
Bramble is a huge loss, Please Mensah be fit, if not I believe maybe Onuaho & PDS could be a good combo, Ferdinand alongside anyone but Mensah will not work.

The best header of a ball in the Premier League well defensively at least.
 
Turner crocked anarl

feck me warra bastard.........dinnit give a fuck if its seb!:lol:

Re: Turner crocked anarl

Personally my defence would be

Hamish - Chinedum - Rio - Barnes

we lost less games last season than the previous 2 before that.
We were a shambles in defence thanks to the previous regime and bruce tightened us up considerably.
He's done further tightening. Unfortunately we've had 2 injuries.
People need to get over it.
It wasnt that long ago we were debating who should play alongside evans or ferdy...noz or collins.
The joys of a proper manager at last.

PDS has had 1 good game for us against Arsenal, and he is still dining out on that.
He was clearly at fault for the loss against WBA this season for defensive schoolboy errors. He made similar errors against Wigan and WHU last season that cost us valuable points.
As Wolves are also crap and their name begins with a 'W' we are tempting fate playing him (cue howls of derision )
If Mensah is fit, then clearly it's him and Anton.
Otherwise Onuoha and Anton, Bards to RB and Rico to LB.
It makes all the wankers and their pathetic quips about Bruce buying only CB's in the summer look even more pathetic than normal if that's at all possible.
