Agreed. People act as if our better performing team from last season was filled with s**te

and use woeful arguments such as goals conceded to claim that the new full backs are far superior.

Yeah, because our s**t center halves, lack of quality midfield cover and open system had nothing to do with that at all!

Fucking hell.

Funnily enough, we gained better results with those "poor defenders". So either our attacking/creative players such as Pilks, Benno, Wes and Fox are amazing and are being misused this season, or our attacking full backs provided a lot of quality last season. Actually it's probably both.

Tierney vs Garrido.... (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:03:28
- for roughly the first 15 games of last season he was our best player in my opinion. (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 30, 22:28:07
- Ok (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 20:20:02
  - was mullered by many last season as just a crunching tackler / thug (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Mar 30, 20:23:04
    - A thug that was dangerous on the overlap and produced assists. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:24:45
      - no fan of Garrido but don't think Tierney is much, if any, better (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Mar 30, 20:26:44
        
        Oh shit, not even arguing that, just that he deserves a chance. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:30:05

- Simple for me (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 30, 20:17:47
  - I'm not buying this idea as being good at all, even worse than playing E.Bennett left wing (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:21:59
  - Tierney is a defender (and not a very good one) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 20:21:23

        That's what I thought, valuable contribution (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 30, 20:38:32
    - If Tierney is not a very good defender... (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:23:33
      - Exactly (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:33:54

        accurate long balls per game (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:27:48
        
        well thats different from the other stats you've posted (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 20:38:27
        
        Nice to see that faced with the stats that rove your post to be bullshit (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:45:06
        
        where are the stats about positioning? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 20:50:39
        
        Hard to be in defence all the time when you're an attacking full back (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 21:04:09
        
        sadly none available, but I agree, he wasn't the greatest defender by any stretch.. (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:59:57
        
        Here you go.... hold the mouse over the number for the 64/120 bit (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:41:36

        i don't hate him at all but i regard playing him left mid as utterly ridiculous (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Mar 30, 20:28:19
        
        then let's just continue with the same (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 30, 20:32:00
        
        more effective i should think than playing Marc at LM (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Mar 30, 20:40:43
      - when is surman back? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 20:22:57

    - Agreed. People act as if our better performing team from last season was filled with shite (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:14:45
      - Certainly Fox has been misused (NCFC) - Fozzybear, Mar 30, 20:20:20
        
        Wouldn't mind Hughton being here long term if we can replace Calderwood/Trollope (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:23:52
        
        Fair point - Calderwood has no track record (NCFC) - Fozzybear, Mar 30, 20:26:47

        Wasn't up to a manager and many of our players have gone backwards (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:38:59
      - 2 fewer goals conceded... probably within statistical margins of error (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 30, 20:16:56
        
        People will probably bring up that we have kept more clean sheets now... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:20:05
        
        I think you need to settle down (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 20:23:41

        I hope you don't feel insulted (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 20:31:42
