I hear where you're coming from Grandpa Sykes but I do have to say as somebody who only gets to see games "live" via various internet sites I am truly appalled by Becchio's lack of ability to trap a ball, to lay off a simple pass, or even head a ball on to a team mate. I listened to Warnock the other day praise Becchio for being a thorn in the side of defenders cos he harries them and he puts himself about, but these aren't footballing attributes, anyone with a decent fitness level could do the same, it has nothing to do with skills or even understanding where your team mates are. Lee Chapman had limited skills but he understood where to be and when to be there and how to find a team mate with a simple pass. Compare Diouf with Becchio, Diouf may look for the foul alot like Becchio, but he can also see a defence splitting pass, has skills on the ball, or is also comfortable holding the ball up. Every time the ball is lumped to Becchio I have no expectations of us retaining pos session. Also as somebody said, when we're playing poorly he becomes the easy option out, just punt it forward and hope he flicks it on. I'm just glad that now we've got Thomas we have some pace in midfield and his introduction has allowed Byram to get forward more too, in my opinion, the fact that we now have pace and can cause problems down the flanks and therefore stretch teams at the back is the reason we've won the last two games. We're pressing higher, we're closing down quicker and basically nullifying the oppos game. Of course this means that my new found optimism will result in a 3-0 reversal to Grayson. > Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:56:38 -0800 > From: jsy...@shaw.ca > To: leedslist@gn.apc.org > Subject: [LU] Becchio > > I've never read so much tripe about one player in all my life.
