His second touch is often a tackle and when the ball is played up to him at chest height or higher he focusses on his physical battle with his opponent and forgets he needs to chest trap/flick on the ball. Doubt the former can be rectified at his age. The former whilst shockingly bad surely could? -- SW6.doc

above digout AP, but no mention of the OG's hes induced? and now digging out Panic Deadline day Cf signing. signed after going after and failing to sign any number of CFs. We landed with A Cf. But not a 'holdup CF' Carlos is like Jay Stansfield A off the last shoulder type... clearly not what Marco wants, which is why both have been shiped off and also why another last minute deadline day CF (Broja) also failed to hold down a Starting role at Silvas Fulham. But emergency 3rd CF? why not? (NT) -- Great Reid is tfi.., Friday, September 06, 10:36:13am (ns565327.ip-54-39-133.net/54.39.133.113)
.......and along the same lines, I may be being a little harsh, but I always felt he was a red card waiting to happen. I find it difficult to shift the image I have of him in the oppo penalty area in a cup game looking slow and immobile.

- Wasn't there a run of about 3 games last season where he 'should' have had a red card? (Chelsea at home for that weird karate chop on thiago silva springs to mind, but i'm sure there were others). Maybe that had as much of an impact on him being taken out of consideration of first team action as anything? (NT) -- Same Old Story, Friday, September 06, 02:51:26pm (NoHost/90.241.124.131)
  - Yes - in fact after the third, it felt to me that we had used up a good chunk of whatever good luck we had going.that season (NT) -- Barry@ENF, Friday, September 06, 11:57:23pm (cpc95104-newt39-2-0-cust313.19-3.cable.virginm.net/77.101.245.58)
