In the natural world predators target the slowest and weakest.

Stop Mark NOBLE playing and you have a very good chance of stopping the team.
Nice to see the skipper running things so early in the season.

It suggests he may hang in to the ball for just that bit too long.

That's always been a part of his game. He has always been prone to being caught in possession. It does mean he doesn't just lash it in blind panic, like Lomas used to.
Hopefully without Nolan stinking up the middle, having a full quota of teammates to pass to will help Noble's game.

He looked much better in a midfield with pace at Liverpool. Still be interested to see the team that gets picked when everyone is fit.

Huffers and Vexed are both correct. He does sometimes hold the ball for too long thus inviting tackles.
He also looked so much better against Liverpool - maybe better than he's ever looked for the side against a top 6 team? Presumably because of the players around him it makes it easier for him (I don't mean that in a negative way - obviously the better players you have in your side, the easier it is for their teammates).

My Palace neighbour reckons he has spotted Noble in Dubrovnik in the last few days?
Shouldn't he be training?
Noble, I mean?

He is a master at buying free kicks, he's got the art of falling over at the right time down to a tee.

Jesus, it's unbelievable the things people say to keep their agenda going.
Eden Hazard was the most fouled player in the PL last season. Does it mean he holds onto the ball too long?

Guessing with half the team away on international duty, it makes sense the other lads get time off P.
Can't begrudge them after Liverpool :o)

Bit of a difference there Russ, as he's charging at defenders and is the best player in the premier league (arguably) and so I imagine is targeted a lot.

Steve, he was in Dubrovnik over the weekend with his family.
Not sure what our training schedule is though. Perhaps they gave the players a couple of days off.

It's still a fact of people taking stats and turning whichever way they feel fits their own agenda.

Oh I agree, most stats are an absolute load of old bollocks.
You should be getting fouled a lot if you're in the engine room, as it's where most of the battles are fought.

Liverpool put in some hard, cynical tackles in on Noble as he was absolutely ruining them with his passing.

First game with Nolan gone Noble scores a goal away against Liverpool.
Have that stat!

It's because he's slow on the ball.
