[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 843842, member: 12190"] 1) JJ has done what was required in every game. His defence has been strong, he's managed to find half gaps, and the moment we got a more open game, he easily took advantage of it. With JJ, his ability to open defences isn't at the expense of anything. 2) The players you mentioned have different kinds of "magic" to bring, but Imo you need the ability to unlock the opposition from different parts of the pitch. I don't think you should have all your attacking ability in the back 3, you may not get the kind of game where those players can influence it. 3) Who else are you going to pick at 13? I'm not saying there aren't good payers there, of course there are but are they better? Not really. 4) Scotland were incompetent in some ways of course but they were made to look a lot worse than they might have by the ability of the 10 - 12 - 13 axis. (As well as the referee who was bad). [/QUOTE]
