Charlton: The Hermannator

Posted by The Addickted in Charlton, Everton | 27 November 2006

The performances of Mr. Hreidarsson have been a frequent worry of mine and this is well known to most people that come into regular contact with me. I've been on his case for a while now but for all this time his blunders had been staged at the left back position.

The return of the more natural full back; Djimi Traoré against Everton, has resulted in Herman being shifted across to play centre-half, and he looked very comfortable. In this position his awful distribution of the ball is largely irrelevant and his talents of heading, clearing and tackling come more into play. In the Everton game, excluding the own goal (which any reasonable observer would have put down to nothing more than bad luck), he never looked like letting anyone through.

The relevance of this is that the relatively inconsistent back line Charlton possess could have found their key man. Perhaps it was just a one-off good performance, but in this scenario, at least it is one more player keeping Fortune out of the first team.

Please let me know your opinion.
