ian1964 10,447 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Kranjcar's legs are gone. He is chasing shadows and has to try and beat a defender multiple times because he is so slow. He does have great vision but does not get the time to execute the passes. PC could have taken off one of our CB when he put Kranjcar on!, did we need to keep 4 at the back against Hearts who had not interest in coming out of their own half/box? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very few managers woukd do that. Almost none. And if he did and hearts scored people would rightly slaughter him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Kranjcar's legs are gone. He is chasing shadows and has to try and beat a defender multiple times because he is so slow. He does have great vision but does not get the time to execute the passes. That was so blatantly obvious yesterday. It wasn't game time or fitness. His legs have completely gone. It was quite embarrassing watching him tbh. I'm not sure he should play again? The guy had great talent and I guess you could say he could produce a bit of magic? However for me, I would have had Dodoo on the bench before him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,752 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Kranjcar still has a great pass on him. If he plays in a central midfield three he can work. A bit like Jan Molby at Liverpool, who was fat and lazy but could spray passes about like nobody's business. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho do you achieve that from a 4 at the back with 1 sub. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Will Pedro be here after 23rd September, to my mind he is limping towards it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Isnt that what he should be telling them before they take to the pitch though? We cant be working these things out after the games. He did. He spent the whole game screaming at them. At one point he was literally jumping up and down on the spot going mental Edited August 20, 2017 by trublusince1982 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However for me, I would have had Dodoo on the bench before him. Problem is that PC said in the summer he was going to build the team around NK - NK being a kind of footballing "quarter back" that would make the team tick. Like the Jan Molby analogy posted above, in fact. (He quickly adds after reading the whole thread.) Edited August 20, 2017 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what happened to us last week we should have come flying out the traps. PC's interview suggested we had done so in training, I'm sure he was fully expecting them to play like they'd been let of a leash. It's startling and hugely depressing that they did not do so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
