Christie has been Impressive

I've been suprisingly impressed by Plodder Christie. His very calm and steady when defending at the back and very very good on the attack. He overlaps so well and can provide a decent ball.

Class player, should be kept at right back for the time being.

agreed, looked good tonight.. especially under huge pressure on most of there attacks with cassio attacking him, cassio is very strong, hard to contain

excellent work from Christie pitty smeltz was so sh*te.

In another thread, you said keep the personal stuff out, but its pretty hard when you post like this.

Smeltz wasnt as bad as you make out , you seem to have a downer on him, hope he plays as "badly" next week and scores again, to make it 3hepatitis2007-09-22 22:36:51

U Rrrrssss!

From were i was standing it looked like Christie was having trouble finding his teammates with his passing tonight.

At times , Yes. But many times it was due to lack of support. No excuse tho. Still think hes been awesome

Was it his cross that found Felipe for the header??

He isnt the only one who needs to work on that area of the game,have been a bit disappointed at how often some of our guys fail to deliver the ball,maybe it will improve as they get used to  the type of leads that are made.

well said ballane

yes Christie has found his feet well. Good to see.

Christie has looked good at rb, kind of like hibbert from everton,  d. midfielder come rb. Solid defender who can push forward.

I agree he looked sound defensively, was quite impressed with his performance. But true that his passing has been sub-standard. Gave teh ball away cheaply a few times, which seemed to leave us exposed to a couple of counter attacks. But overall, I thought hes had a good solid couple of performances

I've been very pleasantly surprised by Christie at right back.

I agree Christie has done a decent job - and was pretty sound last night on top of delivering the cross for Felipe's goal and getting forwarding from time to time. He has scrambled well.

Jeremy Christie is playing realllllly well lately and Ferrante but hopefully he learns how to connect better on the edge of the box caz thats the only thing thats wrong in his game at the moment.

He has been class at right back, very calm on the ball and puts in a decent cross.

yeah lochead was fantastic going forward once again. Was I the only person to notice that not only did he supply the  cross for smeltz's winner, but that he actually had to cut inside and send it in off his (weaker) right foot? And with the overall standard of our crossing (I'm looking at daniel in particular here) has been sort of lacking, lochead's efforts seem even more impressive. It's an area we really have to work on as Smeltz (and Coveny when he comes on) are really very dangerous in the air.

Oh yeah, and why doesn't lochead take the corners (esp as Daniel is one of our better headers as well)??? This is something that has been bothering me all season...
