Lennon

[sihills]

Why can he never run down the actual wing?? all he needs to do is tap the ball past the defender and run, get to the byline and cross it. Am I the only one who gets stupidly frustrated with him always cutting in?? He should never make the england side playing like he does, he is suppose to be a winger.

 

[paulspur]

He isn't good enough, we should sign someone better

Im with you on this, he cuts in too much when we know and so does he that if he just hits it forward he gets the better of almost anyone. He doesn't use his pace as well as he can imo.

 

[knilly]

pleat said it as well, frustrating at times as he could be a massive player if he'd just get down that wing more often.

their left back was solid tonight i thought

 

[There's always next year]

Give Taarabt a run instead of Lennon. At least he can create and doesn't bottle challenges

 

[truespur]

its about time lennon started taking some resonsibility on the pitch. i alsways feel that we are carrying him

 

[General Levy]

mg:

 

[knilly]

maybe taarabt getting a run in the team isnt a bad shout.

 

[Dannyspur]

been saying the same for ages. one trick pony without a trick

 

[Black]

He like to get the lines mens autographs.

Just seems so what less at times just stands on the wings some time u don't see even knows he there. Needs to get involved more, says he watches Ronaldo he clearly does not do enough watching and still cant get a ball on berbs head

That is another thing seems like such a pussy at times

 

[knilly]

we dont get enough crosses in full stop.

 

[AW?]

I'm not even going to come on here when we've lost anymore.

 

[donny1013]

I'm not even going to come on here when we've lost anymore.

I'm with you :bang:

 

[sihills]

Surely you cant honestly say that lennon is playing well or playing to his strengths??? Not posted this because we lost, posted just because he is so frustrating to watch, he was frustrating to watch against chelsea and arsenal.

Oh for God sake.

I don't really know the posters on here and how good your footballing knowledge really is, but looking at tonight's game, surely you must have noticed there was no pace, no urgency, no direct speed play on show? Lennon is the only player on our team right now, with Jenas actually, who can actually get his foot on the ball and run, scare and beat his man and more. Yeah, he had a quiet and unproductive night tonight, and he needs to work on his final ball, but fuck me, get rid of Lennon? We'd be the slowest club in the country. What we need is more players like him.

Look at Arsenal and Man United, the top two teams in the country. Arsenal have Walcott, Adebayor, Eboue, Hleb, Rosicky, Clichy, Sagna, van Persie and Bendtner who are all pacey players who regularly make runs from deep, who can beat a man for pace easily and who run at the defence with intent as opposed to turning round and slowly playing it back or wide like our midfield do. United have Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Nani, Evra, Giggs, Anderson etc... all these are the same. They have good movement and aren't afraid to move the ball and move themselves with a bit of pace and direction. We have such a slow, patient build-up, we try and play silly balls through the middle which 99 times out of 100 are snuffed out and resort to playing it wide, back to full back, back to Robbo, punt up field and then lose the ball. We don't use the ball well enough, we don't move well enough or quick enough and we don't keep it at all well. Lennon is one of the very few players we have who can actually do this and you're giving him flak and wanting him out, whilst players like Malbranque, Chimbonda and Huddlestone are fine are they?

If you want to see a player not good enough, out of his depth and so, so fustrating, look no further than Steed Malbranque. Yeah, okay, he tackles back well, but that's normally after he's just given it away, and when he does win it back, he loses it again. He's no good for Spurs, yet you jump on Lennon's back?

Huddlestone's the same. Great passing range, of that there's no doubt, but the fat shit**** can't move, he can't keep the pace so he slows it down and we suffer because of it.

Just watch how fast the teams deemed to be better than us move it, how fast they all link up and move into space, and then watch us. It's strikingly overt, yet for years nothing has been done to rectify it. And then I read let's get rid of our fastest player!

 

[Kendall]

Taarabt over Lennon? fucking luncacy.

We were quite good tonight, just lacked that bit of brilliance from someone, anyone. It happens to EVERY team.

I'm optimistic we can go to Eindhoven and get an early goal, then it's advantage us to put the shits up them.

Lennon has got speed full stop. he is only effective when the ball is put behind the defender and it comes down to a race. he hardly gets past a defender when they face him. he no longer scares defenders since they have worked out that if they stand up against him he can't get by. His crossing and corners haven't improved much at all.

 

[paulspursman]

far too many crosses along the ground

when lennon goes down the wing he tends to angle himself towards the corner flag too much and therefore cannot wrap his foot round enough to deliver well

 

[Kendall]

fickle bunch, just a month ago everyone was saying his crossing and corners improved.
