Fred's biggest problem is that he doesn't have a nose for goal, which is not too much of a problem on a team with Emilio and Moreno waiting around to pick up the scraps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29121452.post-4631304664305385832008-07-03T16:50:00.000-04:002008-07-03T16:50:00.000-04:00I wouldn't say cutting back to the center is a goo...I wouldn't say cutting back to the center is a good thing given he is a winger.

For now at least, this contributes mightily to his inherent discomfort on the left wing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29121452.post-62703861071516329082008-07-02T21:59:00.000-04:002008-07-02T21:59:00.000-04:00The chemistry that Fred and Emilio have can not be...The chemistry that Fred and Emilio have can not be over rated. Without Fred in the game, Emilio struggles. It happenned last year, and it happenned this year.<BR/>This year was compounded by Emilio being out of shape and possibly unmotivated, so that loss of Fred was overlooked.<BR/>Even without Emilio, having a quality winger who is able to work the ball into the box and perform some nice 1-2 combinations with the strikers to set up chances is essential.<BR/>Do I wish that he would finish the chances that he has for himself? Yes.<BR/>It is no coincidence that the team started winning as soon as Fred came back from injury, though.<BR/><BR/>I would absolutely love to see Fred moved into the middle and to see a DP winger who can actually cross into the box and create some danger on FK / corners. There are so few good wingers in this league.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
