He's misread the stats, badly.

Just from recalling match of the day over the season I know Carew started more than four games 

They have played Agbonlahor and one of Carew and Heskey for the vast majority of the season.

 

Carew has started 4 league games this season. Heskey has started 8 league games this season.

 

Agbonlahor has started 27.

 

Gabby - 28, Heskey - 16 and Carew - 15.

 

no no my friend. I'm afraid you didn't read my post properly and decided to include sub appearances. Carew has STARTED 4 League games and Heskey has STARTED 8 league games.

No Kaka that's now they do that. Before Milner became a revelation in cm, they would usually play 4-5-1. No probs though, we'll just wait until Brummie gets on here (again).

Before Downing was fit he played Milner on the right and either Delph or Sidwell in the centre with Petrov. With Downing's return Milner was then moved in centrally to partner Petrov. Gabby has consistently been played with either Heskey/Carew upfront unless two of the three were injured or for the odd match where O'Neill wanted to be more defensive e.g. liverpool away early in the season I believe.

For the record the sooner they start playing Gabby/Carew alone upfront with an extra midfielder rather than Gabby and Heskey/Carew upfront they will be far better off.

Don't like to agree with KD, but i agree with him

 

Sure whenever possible they play

 

Downy-Milner-Young behind a single striker...

Wrong I'm afraid.

It's almost always Gabby and Heskey/Carew uupfront and a midfield four of Young, Petrov, Milner and Downing.

Definitely a pure 4-4-2 side with two wingers.

The defeatist attitude of some on here is just patheticc honestly 

How do some of you even get up every morning. Man up for goodness sake.

Would Benni McCarthy be worth a look on a one year deal? Would fancy him to get around 8-10 goals.

Have you seen him for West Ham recently? More importantly have you seen his gut?!

Horrible move imo. We need some fresh players with life in their bodies please.

The heart and soul of the team.

I'll be quite upset if Taylor is put in ahead of him next season, because he is definitely a better centre back.

Sees things very early and is always in good positions. Is very calm and good on the ball. Is an absolute colossus dealing with aerial balls.

Really hope Taylor is moved to right back, where he really looked a much better player anyway.

Like Guthrie, but probably more of a backup next season I think. The likes of O'Hara and Boateng are a notch above him and should be targeted.

This season has been fun in a round about way. Never would have expected it. It's absolutely flown by too.

Shola is Ibrahimovic incarnated for freakums dikums

How great are Guthrie's freekicks

Enrique is a beast

ah the shola offside how i missed it

It's the way he casually strolls back from the offside position I particularly missed myself.

That upright, laid back, leggy lope. No urgency and no knee bend whatsoever.

Unintelligent foul from Loven

Well there goes my Best prediction ... 

Shola got us off to a great start this season. Time for him to finish what he started. Go on son.

Today is the day Leon Best scores.

 

Or you're simply totally wrong.

Barton will assist the goal and Best will score so there!

Today is the day Leon Best scores.

Given has to be the worst goalie when it comes to kicking the ball. I would demand players closing him down everytime. He is awful.

Great game. We've really come a long way this season. We actually play coherent football that seems to have some thought process behind it nowadays.

Yup, Keegan bottled it ...

Perch is really a great tackler. Promising that we were looking at him as he has looked good.

That was pretty irritating ...
