I'd have preferred 5 years but can't agree with your logic there Braithy, all the great midfielders can be quelled by a hard tag, the way you mitigate it is by having other weapons in there so that the oppo now finds itself having to stop the next guy, which may in turn give the first guy his freedom back. So we should be looking for another Walsh, not ditching the original for not being able to do the impossible.
Spot on.
How many times over the years have we bragged because an Aaron Joseph, or Alex Cincotta just shut down one of the game's best players?
Our players are not immune from the same thing happening to them. The onus is then on someone else to step up and take over.
Over time hopefully that will be Jagger, Walker and Kouta.
