You think Naughton is physically slow?
Mentally slow, but he's a fast player.

gibbs131 why did you disagree? I get that you rate Rose, Lennon and Townsend as fast players. But Naughton is slower than syrup.
Bit harsh considering he has a bit of a point. Sterling, Sturridge and Henderson murdered us with their toward runs, we couldn't stick with them and we got killed in moments and the game was gone.
What a cunt Oz. You are better than that. Bad day all round. Don't make it worse dude. It's deadline in 24 hours. Expect the levy last minute stroke.

I kind of disagree about some of that. I don't think pace is the many issue in centre midfield. A centre midfield should be able to deal with attacks than using mere pace. Look at most of the centre pairings in the prem. You wouldn't pick them out for having 'pace'.Looking at the game, as like last year, we lack pace in central midfield and defence. Anytime Liverpool attacked us today we never looked liked we'd get a challenge in. Liverpool on the other hand did. I just think we are going to struggle against any team who are direct with pace. The only time we have half a chance is with Kyle Walker in the back four though he alone isn't enough. It's early days I know but these are the same signs as last year, against the top team's we got bullied and out paced. There were two mistakes today which didn't help, the penalty was soft and then Townsend giving it away on the half way line, however how the left back managed to run half the pitch without a challenge from a centre half who knows.

im just sick of all these newbies joining up and being fucking melts...I think the mods should introduce a minimum number of posts/likes before you can post your own thread. Admin Thelonious this could be a good idea..
How many would you suggest? If you have more 'likes' does that make you more knowledgeable?
This sounds like the 'I go to games so I'm a better fan than you' argument.

We need players who can genuinely read the game!
And making profit from buying low and selling highThen again our whole business model at the moment seems to be about plodding along .
Eriksen is pretty quick with the ball, and Dier might be our fastest CB, judging by some of his runs last night.Our only central defender with pace is the calamity Chiriches. None of our 250,000 central midfielders are quick. Townsend, Lamela, Rose & Lennon (guessing he is still slightly quick) the only quick players we have and they all have big deficiencies.
Keep forgetting that that's actually his position. Will be really good to have him playing back there. If i remember correctly he played quite a bit as a DM for Sporting so he could potentially be the answer if Capoue doesn't wake up soon!Eriksen is pretty quick with the ball, and Dier might be our fastest CB, judging by some of his runs last night.
It's not really about the pace of one guy though. What we need is a fast tempo, and that will only with the team committing to Poche's system, and executing it properly.
