FOLLOWING CRASH

Odd article because he was there prior but definitely was moved more advanced than Etienne Capoue who played the holding role in the 4-5-1 (4-1-4-1) formation they ran and played next to Didot. Essentially always seemed suited to be played next to a technical and passing CM partner (Didot/Cabaye) and in front of a holding tackler (Capoue/Tiote).

1-2. Fuck it. I believe.

Don't think so. He doesn't own SD outright as its a public traded company. The conflict is that NUFC don't get paid for the free massive amounts of advertising and Mr Ashley doesn't give a fuck.

Naw F'Shola. Naw.

I thought his effort levels have been top last few matches. But he looked useless at times prior to that. Hope he continues to play like he did last two matches.

No way this cunt leaves if we stay up and Rafa stays on. I think Rafa sees a massive untapped potential star in Moussa.

With Rafa Anything is posssssibleeeeeeeeeeee!

Blv he is on a free this summer

Rather he have a pop and not get tackled by Mangala too. He rushed his shot when he decided to take it as Mangala was about to get a foot in. He was awesome last night, love this version of Moussa

should we bring on De Jong or Wijnaldum?

please get mitro on rafa sir

Gotta haul off Cisse

play smart, play solid. don't do anything stupid. must play with intelligence. they only scored via an offside. remember that lads.

ahhh moussa

How does Cisse slip so much

How many times have we conceded these goals in left or right hand channel free kicks man :/

Did you hear the f***ing commentary?! Tight one, happened so fast etc. Unreal. And you can bet your bottom dollar the question at half time will be 'but should it have stood?'. NBC commentary saying it was obviously offside and redic decision. Not that it matters at all

goalie can't save offside goal shocker. fucking piece of shit lino.

FUCK OFF REF

How many fucking times do refs have to get wrong

His best run of form for us since he's joined is when he's been given the focal point or when he's relishing being the man for the team. Seems Rafa has taken notice and has been making him feel like that. I hope Moussa repays that confidence Rafa has in him today, because that way he played at Man City in the Cup last year...sweet lord.

The only thing I'd change is Perez for Wijnaldum on the left hand side. I think Perez offers us a better attacker in the wide and box positions; ie: he actively tries to take a man on or shoot. I also think he does well to get back and defend too. The Wijnaldum in the 1st half of our season would be the 1st name on the sheet for me; on counters he's ferocious, he's got a brilliant turn of pace and quick feet to hold up the ball and get by 1 or 2 men with his dribbling ability. He'd also get into the box and attack crosses or get shots on goal.... He was also putting in some excellent 1 v 1 tackles using his pace and getting control of the ball. Wijnaldum of today is very much putting in 25% of the effort we saw before and he's not taking on anyone but 1x or 2x in the first 10-15 minutes or so. He also is slowing our attack down to a crawl when he receives the ball... Other than that, I'd continue Tiote and Colback central to work very hard behind the ball and continue to press and tackle and provide cover. I'd normally want Shelvey there but he's worthless in defending situations and I think we need some legit presence there. Play Moussa in the free role #10/box-to-box central and Townsend wide right. Same back 4. Mitro or Cisse is a toss up; I'm fine with either. The only other wrinkle I'd throw is Moussa for Colback and Siem De Jong in the #10 role more advanced to add a bit more intelligence and experience in our attack.

think triggs and I may be the biggest Moussa fans on here. Aye definitely I don't even think he's that good. Definitely not good enough for a decent Champions League team. I just don't see this apparent lack of commitment or work rate when he plays and I think the fact that no manager since he's been here has dropped him even when he's been poor in terms of productivity on the attacking side shows this as well. He's a top player for us, we seem to only do well these days when he plays well. He's not world class or anything, and I think he's fine playing CL football for a team that isn't going to be winning it any time soon - but he's got pace, strength, and counter attacking ability that not many people have -- think he really needs to work on the smaller technical side and get his mind focused and right. I find that his inconsistency is really his main issue.
