67 splitscreen read backwards and you will find my "choice"

I dont recall telling anyone they are wrong but what I have done is point out what it is that is required in the midfield today.

It is only my opinion on what I have seen so far of Andrews.

For those positive fans advocating a place for Andrews in todays team get a reality check.

The midfield for todays game has to be streetwise, gamewise and combatative, it is NOT a place for Andrews.

Lets look at the oppositon midfielders. Diop, Davies, Kranjcar, Belhadj and Traore.

Andrews is lightweight, unable to tackle, unable to create (apart from the odd chance) and most defiantely is non combatative.

Today is for men who are willing to put their foot or head into battle, it calls for composure, skill and guile. Andrews possesses none of these traits and if he is on today, its like Rovers playing with 10 men.

Ince was singing the praises of lower league signings this week, so I wouldn't hold your breath...

Robinson, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock, Emerton, Andrews, Kerimoglu, Pedersen, Roque Santa Cruz, McCarthy. Subs: Brown, Mokoena, Villanueva, Simpson, Fowler, Derbyshire, Roberts.

Not bad, I'd still play Carlos instead of Andrews but we might aswell accept that Ince worships the ground he walks on and vice versa...

Good looking team for us and Pompey's team doesn't look that strong. Feel we can win this if we start well enough and don't allow them into it. Only one problem ..... why on earth is Fowler on the bench with Derbs, Roberts and Carlos??? He is NOT needed!

Very disappointed to see Ooijer being an accident waiting to happen in one of the full back positions again. Simpson did really well second half at Spurs.

Otherwise spot on with the team selection.

Not really, I disagree with your viewpoint but I don't want to scream and shout about Ince or Andrews whenever somebody posts.

ADB the proof is there what happens on the pitch. Until it changes then I stick with my viewpoint.

Give it a rest, we all know what you think. There is no need to ram it down everybody's throat again and again.

Thats extremely rich given your post over on the FA Cup thread.

Anyway, decent team, Tugay is in as he should be, the main thing again is the lack of options on the bench. Looks like he hasn't learnt from last week. 3/4 strikers?!
