Where was he the weekend?

Tony Pulis said he'd got a knock in training.

Ah must have missed that, cheers. Standing by my 'won't start more than 15 times ' this season

[baggiecarl]

Oh christ, I hope Tone hasn't identified a new bomb squad.

Tone's bomb squad consists of any player with a modicum of flair  ,which is why Gardner and mcClean will never have any worries of being part of it .

So he wasn't fit enough to make the bench on Saturday, yet was able to play 90 minutes tonight?

Yes in a match that doesn't matter to BUILD match fitness...

Not hard to understand really? Still if it's a dig at Pulis it's worth posting right?

You never fail to post to defend him no matter what, so that puts you in a glasshouse, right?

Then again, he could still have made an injury worse, or been subject to a bad tackle. It's still 90 minutes on a pitch.

We played Delhi and Chamakh got clattered

Morrison looked decent last night. As I posted elsewhere he was neat in possession and carried the ball well. Looked to play others in and was very aware; we won't mention his free kicks though . For me he's a week or two off full starting match fitness though. Just lacks a little getting off the mark.

[AshD]

Morrison is the only central midfielder we have who can come deep and carry the ball forward and link the midfield with the attackers...for me, we desperately need him back in the team!

I agree. He's not world class but he's very able and on form superb in my view - more to the point a fair bit better than the other options.

[lewisant]

Put him in for Fletch and make him captain.

I was there last night and agree, he is a couple of weeks off a return in my humble.

Mozza is not good enough to play in central midfield in a flat 442. We know that well from seeing him there in past attempts.

None of the central midfielders at the club are!!
Him and Yacob are the pick out of them fletcher and gardner

Well last weekend if you look at the personnel it was was 4231 or 433 and I think if you swap Feltcher for Jimmy in our Pulis team then you'd certainly have the better player on the pitch. With Yacob and Field on the pitch it would allow Jimmy to push up the pitch a bit and play his best position.

[Mikkyk]

Not sure which one of those things is (unfortunately) less likely

[Adder]

He has played well there on occasions in the past .....granted some of them are a few years back now under Hodgson. If Yacob provides some balance, Mozza can pass and surge forward.  He's not the long term answer but he's good enough to do a job.

[Jimmy]

Class above when he came on.

[halifax_baggie]

Probably our most skillfull player, knows how to retain possession and makes defence splitting passes, we need him  to play. made a calming difference today when he came on. You could see he wasn't match fit for the first few minutes but he adjusted quickly to the pace of the game

The only wish I have is that he is not the strong physical player with attacking skills we need , if he was 6ft+ I suppose he wouldn't be playing for us.

With our new owners perhaps that's what we'll get

[KingKoren]

I think Chadli is going to make the no.10 role his own. I'm not sure we could accommodate him in the midfield two. He is decent back up to Chadli though.

[barnestormer]

Plus 1. Chadli has to stay 10 far stronger and physical than Morrison in that role,a steal at £13M

[Jimmy]

Its a no brainer, Morrison in for Fletcher.

[WBArgo]

For me he was very calming today and kept possession nicely, I agree I feel he would do Fletchers role better because he's about 3 years younger and has better legs/energy for it.

It's nice to be able to sub guys like Morrison and Nyom on today which shows a bit of depth, with all respect last season it would have been Gardner and Lambert and it's just not as good when closing a game out. Whether Morrison is content on the bench however is another thought, but hopefully he will eventually start over Fletcher (not that I can see it happening).

[Standaman]

Morrison is just expensive cover for Chadli, he is no more the box to box midfielder than Fletcher is but for different reasons i.e. lack of physical presence. That said we are rapidly approaching the point where Fletcher's weaknesses might be a greater issue than Morrison's. Barring injury to Fletcher however we know that he won't be dropped.

Fletcher was MOM in some quarters yesterday, I don't agree but he offers more than some see, when he went off V Bournemouth, we conceded, nuff said.
