I love the Ancelotti system but it relies a little too much on the unreliable in our case. With another couple of players brought in I'd love to see it at SJP though.
He was good for us. Wouldn't want him starting in an ideal world but he's the 3rd best ST we've had in our books post-Carroll after Ba and Cisse. Would've been a great option to have last season.
Marveaux should never be given that responsibility. He's a must against teams we need to open up and is obviously a better player than some who consistently start.
Best made plenty of goals with his presence, running, clever touches and unselfishness. Cisse would get far more with Best next to him, that's for sure.
Canny squad player but no more than that.
We were 3rd with him starting every game. Some squad player. And don't give me any shit about Ryan Taylor or Danny Simpson. Best was vital to the way we played in the first third of the season.
