Why can't Cooper and Walsh challenge for the first team job?
Arguably it would provide incentive for both, and mean an injury to one would leave us with a second keeper who is game ready. |

I don't think it's just us. It's more a consequence of the intensity of the game these days, and the complexity of the fitness requirements for the players. [Post edited 25 Feb 2:41]

We were in the game until Madsen's injury, then we fell apart like a soggy Kleenex. We don't react well to injuries to key players. Maybe it's inexperience, but there's a collective but unspoken "uh-oh!" about the team after a Chair or Madsen are hobbled.
Also our defence is shit. The stats prove it. Individually there's lots to like, but playing defence is a collective necessity and we don't do it well at all. Yes, it's ideal if you have an unchanged back line, and an experienced keeperlike Arsenal of the 90s, but that's not realistic in today's game. Someone within the coaching staff needs to get a grip and inculcate a collective feeling of responsibility in our defensive corps. |

Does Ale still live in London then? It wasn't totally clear to me in the chat. |

Heh! Anytime. Though given the new UK regs for visiting ex-pats I doubt it'll be soon. |

I never saw it that way. he never "hid." He's a cerebral player who'd rather make no move than a bad move. He watched, studied and learned. That approach paid off for him, and the team, as we can see now. |

I know I'm being unreasonably optimistic but a prospective mid-field of Chair and Madsen (with maybe Vale or Varane on their right side) makes me positively drool. |
