How did he overload the midfield ?

3 centre backs 2 wing backs 2 up top.

The 2 wing backs slot in when defending & overlap when going forward.
Leaving 3 in the middle.

Seriously. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on here.

These people obviously never saw Peter Allen play.

I saw Lucas and Lea too, they were better. Nevertheless, the clogging football played at the time and the endemic physical violence means historic comparisons are meaningless. Unlike others, l don't look back at yesteryear through rose petal specs. Cisse has a greater range of attributes than any of them in my view.

Yet he couldn't get into the Gillingham team . Cisse is a very good player but to say he's better than the players mentioned above is stretching it a bit .

Yes, let’s move the tough-tackling, strong aerially, defensive midfielder out of the spot where he has been crucial to our upturn in performances and leave Josh Wright to fanny about bottling challenges in there instead. A truly inspired* idea.


*Inspired by Alberto Cavasin.

..

You're a silly sausage aren't you. Who said anything about Wright?
Just the kind of straw man argument used by door-to-door god bothering half-wits. If you think this is convincing then wise up, if it's an attempt at humour, grow up.
