Pass to Foster? I'll bet he'd rather chew his own thumb off without anaesthetic. :blue:Quote:

Benson is a natural winger and proven goal scorer. Sarmiento too# Edwards looks lethal and already matches Foster's season long total after just one game. Redmond, Koleosho & Banel are natural wingers, Anthony the pick of the bunch, so why Parker persists playing Foster out of position on the left wing is beyond me.
You can't blame Foster, blame Parker for playing him. :blue:
There is no argument is there - Benson good impact player - injured a lot lightweight for this league when we don?t retain possession in the oppositions final third like under Kompany ( hence if we don?t have the ball enough in those areas he?s surplus to requirements as his strength isn?t any thing other than cutting inside and bending one ) ie he only goes one way.Quote:

Edward?s is tricky but looks similar to benson imo anyway ( without injuries yet ) he?s def a decent player
Koleosho is slagged off by you and others for trying to beat 3 men on his own at regular intervals.
Redmond twilight of career but injured A lot
Foster should have scored Saturday - for me he was in the right spot and it will come soon enough
You say he?s useless but he hasn?t featured for a large part of the season and injuries do take some getting over - I also think the criticism isn?t entirely fair due to him playing out of position in the last few weeks.
Anthony has been poor the last two games apart from one assist. He almost never cleanly beats a man and his crosses have not been productive. It would be poor man management imo to drop Foster at this stage. It's not as though we have anyone significantly better to replace him. I don't think we have many who could make the move he made to give himself the opening to miss the second chance, if you know what I mean.
Be interested to see a bit more of this Edwards chappie, not been impressed so far.
I agree Sinkov - watched him for Lisbon and he was v good player.Quote:

Under kompany we soent as much time as we could in that area , under the current regime not so much so the flair ( letÂ’s call them ) players have much less impact hence Bensons demise ( apart from injury ) he didnt just become bad at what he does - under VK he was brought on to tired legs and we were generally camped in the oppositions box.
Give him a chance he's only had a couple of minutesQuote:
