jpm does look a bit lazy at times.i'd have subbed him instead of zaboob the other day.but he can cross a ball for sure

I thought that to start with, but JPM has played centre midfield before and was more likely to stay central than Zaaboub.

Zaaboub would have kept going out wide and stretching our midfield across the pitch when we needed to stay narrow as a 3.

agree and can see why the change was made.at the time it confused me and i reckon it did zaboob too

Well, I think like everyone I was expecting Byrne to stick with the personel and go 4-4-1 leaving it as it was.

When I saw Paynter getting ready to come on I was a bit confused and thought he'd take JPM off because Zaaboub was playing well.

After about 5 minutes it clear why he took Zaaboub off, he was obviously going to 4-3-2 keeping the midfield narrow and Zaaboub probably wouldnt have done that, certainly not as effectivly as JPM

this cant go on.i agree completely

Personally, i think that the decesion to sub zaaboub was a brave one by Byrne & Williams.

If it had gone wrong they would have been murdered by fans and press alike, and with the new owners watching it could have gone horribly wrong for them.

Maybe just maybe they have bought themselves some time in the job and given AF some food for thought.

i also think that anyone who thinks that the current managment team are equals are deluded imo.i'm sure byrne is calling the shots

McGovern worked his socks off tuesday.

I would like to see JPM in centre mid for a game, doesn't get around on the wing really, but likes a tackle.

The whole Zaaboub subbing incident was a very brave call by Byrne, put I think certainly paid dividends.

We needed to keep the midfield tight and go more on the defensive, which Zaaboub isn't so inclined to do.

About 30 seconds after the substituation was made, JPM pops up in the left-back position to make a last ditch tackle and deny Swansea a shot on goal - Zaaboub would never have done that.

moments before corr got sent off, zaaboub made an awesome tackle when vincent got caught out of position (shock horror)

anyway, where's this stat about JP's assists come from?

id agree with that, williams pissed up at 2am on new years day confirmed it for me. fair play, he's spent his last 15-20 years off the source on new years eve- but it suggests he's nothing but a token figure at the mo.
