Adam Johnson - Right or Left Winger?

Postby Blue Toy » Tue Apr 12, 2011 6:12 pm

Put him on the left FFS! Let's see him in action on his natural side. Let's see him beat his man and not have to cut in and shuffle the ball onto his left to shoot or cross.

And as for not playing him against the debutant kid at right back last night, that was just fucking stupid and naive of Mancini.

Left all day for me, especially when we're playing Dzeko in the middle. Get him running at the full back and whipping it in onto Edins' head.

It ain't rocket science

on the left, we need some balance. its so fucking obvious its untrue. the sad thing is he is probably the best option we have for the right as well. id like to see swp start there on saturday though. probably one of the few that wants to see that.

This was beyond belief. The two worst decisions from within the game, was not playing AJ against the new full back, and bringing de Jong on so late 3-0 down.

That shows just how fucking arrogant Mancini is...he was probably thinking that Kolorov would have the skills necessary to beat him whereas stevie fuckign wonder would have seen enough to change it around after 20 mins ......

FUCK MANCINI S APOLOGY.....Hes an arrogant prick....cost us the game....again.

Don't see the harm in at least giving him a try. Has he ever played more than 45 mins on the left?

As there is no option for 'I dont care which side he plays on I just wish he would get himself fit enough to put a 90 minute shift in' I didn't bother voting.

i actually prefer him on the right cutting in, seems to create a lot of chances playing on the right, but what i dont understand is why cant he switch over now & again to the left, gives each full back problems,

One would think that Mancini stole your car from under your nose the way you keep going about him being clueless, arrogant, etc.

We get it, you want him out of the club, many agree with you and I'm convincing myself you're right too; it will probably happen at the end of the season; there's no need to go about it the way you do in every single post though.

As for the OP question, I reckon he can play indifferently on both flanks, it depends what we want from him; if we want him shooting toward goal, then the right is better as he can cut in and shoot with his strong foot; if we need him to cross, then he should play on the left, and thus if we play Dzeko I reckon he should be on the left and provide the crosses we still haven't managed to feed te Bosnian with.

I would like to see him on his natural side. How many crosses were whipped in last night onto Dzecko's noggin???, one! Playing dzecko in the middle needs crosses to his bonce. It isn't hard!. Craig you have summed it up for me pal.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

If we throw away a cup semifinal against united the way we did with Liverpool you'll be entitled to go into overdrive.

But I am confident we won't. We will play it cautious of course but with De Jong and Silva to start it won't be as pathetic as last night. Those two just change our side completely.

I hope you are right....I dont want to feel suicidal as I have done since yesterday....its the worst feeling in the fuckign world..I honestly could have a fucking fight with my own shadow.....I fuckign hate feeling this way.

Barry and Kolorov can sit on the bastid naughty step for the next 7 games.

The worst part was I went home to watch the match and only had my Mrs Mac to get onto this site........I was spitting feathers and couldn't type fast enough..I was so angry.......the worse part was I couldn't even find the Key cap at times as its a bastid shitty Mac with all the keys in the wrong place.---I nearly threw the fuckign thing out of the window.

Never got a blow job either when I turned telly off...I only got a "Never touch my fuckign Mac ever again" you little City Baby...hahaha..City baby she called me.

Just one of many candidates for post of the the year from you Carl, all in the last 24 hours. Fucking hilarious. I think you summed my feelings up though and I guess a fair few others.

My bird is a scouse sympathizer and this was the 1st game she watched with me. Fucking shit. I did get a bit tho.

She then had the nerve to say if we do that everytime city lose, we'll both be fit in no time. Nearly told her to fuck off on the spot.
