Our best and most important player and it seems absolutely mental to me that some people would think getting rid of Cattermole as a positive move.

Tbh looking back I can't remember him ever having a particularly good pre season.I thought he looked sluggish in the Darlo game and all 3 American Tour games, was he any better tonight?
That's a pretty accurate summary of the game. Johnson started the game in the centre though with Defoe/Fletcher out on the Left wing and Lens to the Right. It seemed a bit of a strange setup but I'm guessing he wanted to see how Johnson would do in the centre. Maybe he's thinking he could be our creative midfielder? (hope not because we desperately need to buy/loan someone)
What a load of shit, yes we need a creative goalscoring midfielder, but u don't replace a defensive midfielder with 1 !!!I'll probably get slated for saying it but we need better then Cattermole in the middle of the park, the lad is a trier but he's never going to get you goals and it still worrying the amount of times he get caught with the ball and loses it...I don't mind playing the lad away from home but if we are ever going to have a better home record we need a Midfield playmaker who can get into the box and score
We should be looking for better IMO.
He is slow and prone to mental lapses. He has been at the heart of this team for years. Time to move on.
What you have said said in regards to taking too long on the ball is what I've been saying for years about him and why he'll never climb any higher than a club like us. He's a great trier and leaves everything on the pitch but people talking about England are well wide of mark mind.Was only so-so yesterday and still has this habit of holding onto the ball for far too long and stagnating play, three or four times last night runs were being made and he's either not mentally quick enough or just plain dithering to ping the ball first time, as a team we need to think and move quicker and he's one of the main culprits I'm afraid, still our best player without the ball mind.

Class the last 2 seasons, not excellent in a couple of friendlys = flog him we need better.
Get a grip you bunch of cockless fairys.
If by best you mean most talented, he isn't

That's a very romanticised view. He hasn't been 'class' for 2 seasons. He's had some very good games and been the heartbeat of the team but, that's generally with regards to staying in games, not actually being pivotal in changing a loss into a draw or draw into a win.
No I mean best as in most effective and most important.
Without him wed of been relegated both times. Simple as.
We do need a midfield playmaker, as everyone knows. To play alongside Cattermole, the playmaker replaces Rodwell/Gomez.I'll probably get slated for saying it but we need better then Cattermole in the middle of the park, the lad is a trier but he's never going to get you goals and it still worrying the amount of times he get caught with the ball and loses it...I don't mind playing the lad away from home but if we are ever going to have a better home record we need a Midfield playmaker who can get into the box and score
That's impossible to prove. Without Johnson and his goals and assists we would have been though
