Fair dinkum....armo must be on the nose.....well ross's nose

Cold wet day, i reckon a 'talented' inside mid would be handy....

We have had 90% of the play.....12 inside 50's to 1.......lead by 2 goals...although it is wet

the coach clearly has an issue with armo.

not sure what his problem is. kicked too many goals maybe? Thats a big no no in lyon's saints footy. Midfielders shall not score goals!

armo has clearly not been playing well the last couple of weeks, lucky not to be dropped.

Sobraz · Post: # 1102271Post **Sobraz** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 4:49pm

Polo is a joke, and it's a joke how he's waltzed into the side and kept his spot...

I guess he's playing one of Ross's famous roles to perfection...

With relation to Armo, I honestly hope he goes elsewhere, as he deserves to have a fulfilling career, and he will...

Reminds me of someone else...

Armo has been horrible for the most part of the year (has played 2 good games, maybe) and is extremely overrated on this site.

Con Gorozidis · Sun 10 Jul 2011 4:52pm

I reckon armo has had 6 good games and 6 stinkers this year.

last year mcqualter strung 12 consecutive stinkers together.

this year gram has about 6 consecutive stinkers and is going strong for 7.

Old Mate · Post: # 1102285Post **Old Mate** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 4:55pm

Gram has been awful as well, a lot of our players have been down.

BigMart · Post: # 1102293Post **BigMart** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 4:57pm

Sort of coinciding with a change in position....

If polo is as good as armitage....im very mistaken

Old Mate · Post: # 1102294Post **Old Mate** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 4:59pm

Maybe right. He has struggled as a negating forward. I like him in the middle if anywhere.

BigMart · Post: # 1102306Post **BigMart** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 5:05pm

Who wouldnt struggle in such a stupid position....

Why?

Time to face the reality that Steven has seized his chance and has squeezed Armo out of this position.

This is good news as Steven has hit his straps and is exhibiting real class and shows every sign that he could become an A-grade mid.

Steven not only wins the ball...but he runs and spreads better...and uses it better.

Not sure we could say the same about Armo.

Steven >> Armo.

Still hope to see Armo play in the 22, but let's not bitch and moan about him not playing as the inside mid....for that spot is deservedly Steven's given the form that he is in.

That pass that Jack put on Rooey's chest gave me a bit of a flashback to when a bloke wearing #35 regularly put the ball on the chest of a bloke wearing #4 !!

Old Mate · Post: # 1102371Post **Old Mate** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 5:29pm

I don't think people want to see Armo take Steven's position (Polo's name may have been mentioned instead), but you probably new that. Just rotate Armo in the middle along with Steven / Dal / Monty / Jones etc and not put him in the forward pocket doing SFA.

Armo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Polo

Not sure this has anything to do with it...

Noone is comparing the two, and we are fortunate that Steven has come on as he has, and clearly has greater output than Armo...

Thats fine...

But what has Armo done wrong (or conversely, Polo done right), for Armo to be relagated to less game time, less opportunity to influence games, each week, where Polo is backed in to contribute??... And doesn't, yet is backed again...

Armo and Steven could/should work and grow together in the middle, underneath BigMac, with an eye to 2012's starting mids...

defacto · Post: # 1102457Post **defacto** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 6:15pm

could armo be showing signs of fatigue and they are managing his game time so they dont burn him out completely

MC Gusto · Post: # 1102473Post **MC Gusto** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 6:19pm

Please no more gram he is gawn

BigMart · Post: # 1102474Post **BigMart** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 6:19pm

I dont know but the goal he just created to gamble was awesome.....armo that is....

MC Gusto · Post: # 1102477Post **MC Gusto** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 6:21pm

Good win
Good to finish one

Absolutely awful, his decision making is terrible. Times up

gringo · Post: # 1102592Post **gringo** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 7:23pm

Gram is having a shocking year but I still say his body isn't right and his confidence is slipping as well. Polo isn't awful and plays more of an outside mid than Armo. He needs to stop drifting out in the second half though.

I thought Gamble our other new whipping boy played well.

BigMart · Post: # 1102610Post **BigMart** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 7:38pm

Is there a rule that you can only have jack steven in the midfield.....

Is that from the same people who thought, that because we had lenny hayes....we needed no other clearance mid....

We do realise, that there are between 3 and 5 clearance mids in everyteam....

A mid is a mid......they play around the contest or 'on the ball' .......they all win contested ball, all win loose ball.....

Armitage had 9 touches an three score invovements in 40 mins.......he should be a part of the midfield rotation......

If his body isnt right,and confidence is gone,he shouldnt be in the side

maverick · Post: # 1102665Post **maverick** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 8:10pm

Yeah poor form by RL, we only won by 8 goals.
Imagine if we selected Armo, wow.
Armo has struggled for weeks, I thought using him as a sub was a good move myself. Polo is a different player to Armo.

SainterK · Post: # 1102668Post **SainterK** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 8:14pm

Keem em hungry I say.

Armo didn't like it, well good.

Whoever gets it next week doesn't like, good.
