No he didn't, our two centre halfs did. Which ever combo we played. They melted.... Ward made a few hashs like he always has, but no more than normal. It's just the guys standing next to him were complete melts! agree to disagree.

Wards been the poorest performer in our 11 for 2 seasons. He just doesn't have the ability to deal with the better players in the league. He is poor positional and covers himself by the fact he is a decent tackler and athletic. But he is constantly beaten for pace or positioning and it affects our wingers when playing out wide because they have to drop back because he isn't good enough. He isn't particularly decent going forward either. I love the guy and think he will remain a valuable squad member. He can do a job as cover and isn't too old so can stay as backup for a while, but the guy is just not good enough, we should have brought someone in on the right when we bought Papa, it is in my opinion the biggest priority in the squad to bring in a decent RB. Definitely need competition for Ward. Been brilliant for us but didn't shine last year. Also not good enough going forward for the modern wing back role imo. However for me the biggest priority is a decent striker, if Benteke is injured (and assuming Wickham is still out) we are royally screwed. At least say Tomkins can cover right back.

And a goalkeeper would help. Steeeeve's heart clearly not in it. Hennesey's positioning for free kicks and decision-making on crosses not up to it.

would be an insult to ward to buy this geezer. ward is good enough for our team, if he needs a payrise he deserves it, hasnt he played more PL games than anybody else? underrated IMHO. Fantastic defender, will become squad player, not sold im sure, but lets be honest here, when hes in a ruffle at the back and we need to move forward, unlike most of our left sided full backs now, he lumps it forward even when she shouldn't be that panicked. IF FdB can retrain that aspect then hed become a far better player overnight.

A proper sportsman like few others in PL, but he is NOT up to standard in this division.

Both Ward & Kelly are ok cover players but neither should start. Both give me stress related spasms when watching them and are the sort of players I would relish taking on if I was the opposition. I question Kellly's dexterity and he also seems to hoof the ball out for a corner when it appears unnecessary. Ward lacks pace and positional awareness. Sorry guys!
