They don't look particulary strong in the middle. Kasami should be a good player to watch, heard lots about him. But I can see Cabaye-Tioté bossing Murphy and Sidwell.
I want to see:
Krul - Simpson, Coloccini, Taylor, Taylor - Marveaux, Cabaye, Tioté, Jonas - Obertan, Best
Probably won't be any Marveaux or Best in there, I think Shola and Gosling will start.
This whole "it's my job to get the board to get them over the line" is worrying. I think he's facing a battle when trying to get them to spend anything at all.
