First, when i saw the teamlist i think it is not a good choice to pick Evans as the starting CB. I think he is talented but right now he is really low on confidence. Bolton's strikers are extremely tough and strong. I think Evans is not in the right frame of mind to face pressure like this at the moment. I suggest to play Smalling because from what I see, he is a very confidence lad. Also, he is a much stronger player than Evans. Evans should take a bit of rest and get back into shape mentally and physically. As for RB, I am really concern at the position. I am a die hard fans but O'shea is one of the player i really don't like. His defensive abbility is very weak. He never tracks back, slow, and do not know how to play the ball on the ground. He only knows to clear the ball up the field. The biggest problem is he thinks he is a veteran and he usually blame other people for his mistakes instead of taking it himself. Rafael is a good talent but his defense is very weak also. By very weak, I don't mean he is slow or don't know how to tackle. Actually his tackling skills is not bad, but the problem is he goes to ground too easy. It leaves the team in a bad position if he miss a tackle or get send off. He needs to improve this in order to be a better player. We really need a Good midfield, a creative one, I really think Anderson is a good baller, let give him a try. As you have pointed out, Fletcher has slow down a bit in this few games. I believe he played too much, SAF relies on him too much. Most of the games so far, he was playing with Scholes. As you all know, Scholes is 35 years old and he can only run a small amount these days. Also, he becomes a quarter back and try to sit back and distribute the ball. since we are play two central mids, it relies so much for Fletcher to be the Central Mid who goes into the opposite penalty box to add another option and be the one who tracks back to the opposite team's best player. Therefore i really hope SAF can give Anderson a chance to get back into shape and sub Scholes and Fletcher to give them rests they needed. We may need to buy a new Mid as well.. It is better to have a A Mid so that Fletcher can concenrate more on the defensive ends. |
