We defend deep = he's good as he can see everything in front of him and doesn't have to worry about positioning too much. We defend a high line = he gets caught out as he doesn't have the awareness or reading of the game to position himself and make judgements on when to push up to a man who's recieved the ball or to drop off. He always plays better against the better teams, against Man Utd he had a great game and he played well against Arsenal too.

I'd like to see him in the target man role in a 433 with Owen and Oba at Fulham. He's performing well and putting himself about a lot but he's not much of a goal threat. Then you've got Martins who blows hot and cold and Owen who is proven but not necessarily going to stretch a defence anymore. With Owen dropping off as well into the hole I think that would work well in front of a 3 of Butt, Barton and Jonas.

Slowly but surely he's morphing in to Didier Drogba.

Agree there. Had a great game tonight, needs to replicate that regularly now. I thought you'd be in here breaking up the party We've seen games like this before from him and he hasn't kicked on afterwards. Good performance today but I'm not getting carried away. How's that?

Bossed it second half. Nice performance.

Utter quality, team work was there, they fought for eachother, passed it well. And most importantly some confidence is back.

Owen on plz.

Bo shank.

Butt ffs, keep posession.

Fuckin waste.

Owen please to add some experiance.

Come on boys. Please.

Cunt.

Why is Butt over it?

Best keeper in the league eh Craig?

GET THE FUCK IN

Did Barton get the ball then?

Owen on please for Duff, Guthrie for Butt, go 433.

mate, his options are to either pass to piece of shite A or piece of shite B

Get out.

Interesting to see who they get in. Liked him though.

Good shout Baggio.

What? Who do you think has kept as many clean sheets for them, Laursen is a calming head for both Cuellar and Agger at senior level, he'd provide some much needed stability for Colocinni and his more dominant aerial prowess would compliment Colocinnis good ground play. We should get Hyypia in then and save about 6m.
