has he got a twin???

Different bloke today...

Barton MOM Ben Arfa Moment of Match Defence solid

AGREE TOTALLY; ALL OVER THE PLACE

SWEEEET LEFT PEG!!

I AM IN LOVE!!

What about Cambell at the back and Colo as right back? Give Enrique the right to maraud and we convert to three at the back?

He's got me round the bend (two smiths??). Jonas in Nolan's place

change smith for Nolan in the middle and replace smith with Jonas and we would have a decent line up??

Ok seriously: Jonas and enrique= very solid defensively and very good offensively. Jonas sometimes lacks the final ball but scares the shitt out of defenders. Perch and Routledge= not routledges fault so much but they are a nuch weaker combination and I bet my bottom dollar that if it waS JONAS AND pERCH they would be better defensively. Routledge has pace and can cross but he doesn't do it that often either...

LOL

another firestarter...

Ron has a habit of pouring a can of petrol on anything with a little smoke

MEH!

Routledge offers a lot less than Jonas defensively and not a great deal better going forward. If we are to sacrifice a forward player then it has to be the very immobile Nolan. Yes, he has the knack of getting into the box at the right time but he doesn't "scare" any defender as far as I am concerned. Hatem for Nolan is the straightforward swap. Jonas and Enrique work well together and it's a risk to break that partnership as it is quite solid defensively...

I quite like the collocini on the right and cambell in at the back. Much better than Perch... don't know about the smith remaining...

Tiote for Smith (Smith is garbage and against everton = RED) Raylor for Perch (Same defensively but could put some crosses onto AC's head) Ben Arfa for Nolan (more probably on for Nolan after 60 mins...)

I forgot to add that a personal preference of mine would be to change james perch for Ryan Taylor. there are two reasons for this: 1) In my eyes Perch has got off lightly with only a yellow per game, he panicks a lot and makes too many rash challenges, players also shrug him off easily. 2) Andy Carrol likes crosses into the box to be placed inch perfect, that's where his main abilities are; winning everything in the air. Raylor provides thise crosses and is a threat going forward. I honestly think that Raylor is no worse a defender than Perch but offers much more offensively, specially when you think about what we need to do to make Carrol score...

I will be so dissapointed with Hughton if he chooses to leave any of Smith or Nolan in the team for this game. Jonas has a great work ethic and partners Enrique very well, they have a good understanding, why break that, also why put Ben Arfa into a position that isn't his preffered one. Replace that fat useless hippo and we would have a half decent attack... Tiote, even though I havent seen him play, must be a better option than Smith, for god's sake Chris!!! smell the coffeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yeh, Ranger seems to have brought himself into contention with a few good displays... i.e. Fukk off Shola!

lol

LOL

I'd rather get ameobi off the wage bill and see if best and xisco come good, shola has had far too many chances now...

I don't know why everyone is getting on his back, he has a very decent CV and his Lyon side were a formidable team, especially the games they had against the "mighty" real madrid, a real team with great spirit and excellent counter attacking football... He will take Villa back up the table for me. Needs to be able to spend something imo.
