Am I the only person who thinks it was stupid to drop Keane and Berbatov today? They scored all five goals against Boro home and away last season when we won both games. Woodgate was out and Boro were there for the taking with a bit of subtlety and thought.
Our midfield really doesn't support the strikers and Keane is not only top scorer but does a great job linking the play.
I can't help but think that if Martin Jol had done this he would have been completely slaughtered.
Here here!
I've alwasy sad the bent/defoe partnership + also having Lennon in the same team = a very stupid attacking line. postionally and creatively they are lacking. The defoe/Bent tactic is much better when the opposition are pressing very high but with boros equally poor confidence and injury list, it meant they were never gonna really have a go at us.
Ramos perhaps didn't know. Or maybe he did know and ran the risk anyway with the UEFA cup in mind. We ain't gonna do shit all in the league but the UEFA cup is still most certainly up for grabs. If we win in isreal and Berbs and or keane are the main reason then kudos to Ramos.
