Dal Santo has shown himself to be the most easily tagged in the past, as we saw a couple of weeks ago, so I'd set my tagger onto him. If a tagger can get on top of Dal Santo, he can be virtually shut out of the game.
The problem with tagging Goddard is that he's so versatile he's drag your tagger forward or back and eventually find a way to exploit that matchup.

I disagree Dal is difficult to tag....He gets the most attention every week, and its clear the most planning goes into him.Statsman wrote:Dal Santo has shown himself to be the most easily tagged in the past, as we saw a couple of weeks ago, so I'd set my tagger onto him.

To be still classed as elite is an extremely good effort....Especially as he has been preforming for a number of years now.
Every now and then he gets s*** down... Understandable when you do the math.

Don't get me wrong I love Lenny, and reckon he's our 2nd best player. HOWEVER, yesterday if you were a midfielder who would you rather have chase you around or be matched up on, Matt Rosa or Natnui? The commentators were nearly laughing at that match up and Lenny was given licence to run around and do as he pleased. I know Dal has his down weeks, but I reckon he's a star. He showed at the start of 09 what he's capable of if clubs let him run around on his own. Dal is more damaging if he get's the ball in his hands - but only just, so I would tag him.Unforgiven wrote:I think Dal Santo, only because I think he is the easiet to tag. Lenny is our most important mid.

Dal - he can hurt you with disposal and run but historically is easier to shut down than the others and can be a little 1 trick pony. Hayes our best mid is hard in and under which makes it harder to tag. Mont started well but is down on form and not hurting teams at the moment like last year.
Goddard can push forward and hurt a tag overhead .

Think definately Dal, doesnt mean he is the best, just the best to tag, more often than not all of them will end up with high posession, Dal will hurt you badly if he gets them in space though.
Agree on goddard, just as good a user but very hard to tag, you need to play different types on him in different areas of the ground.
