Ronaldo

I do too, though I never thought I'd say it.

That was last season, to be fair.

Cool.

Blatantly gonna do a Chopra against us.

FWIW a midfield 3 of Marveaux, Cabaye and Sissoko would get butchered off this lot, and you know my thoughts on Marveaux playing in a forward 3. Save him for Thursday.

?

I can't think of a PL team he'd be less suited to.

See Halsey's been dropped.

Good's getting on the bench ahead of Williamson?

Not far off the best we could put out.

I just don't get why there's still so much stigma attached to it in football. Not as if football's the sport of a man's man anymore, if it ever was.

Carrick's great.

Sunderland really aren't much good. At all.

What's wrong with Palace?

That's rubbish and you know it. His pace alone has created us several goals already, regardless of the quality of his final ball. Even his running off the ball when in attack creates chances. Hang on, his pace has let to 2 goals being scored from rebounds since he signed 2 months ago. I'm talking about creating chances for Cisse - ie taking adavntage of his movement around the box. Neither Gouffran nor Jonas will give him anything near the service he deserves. Which is why we're consistently not troubling keepers away from home and the lad looks supremely pissed off.

Gouffran's no creator, man. I do rate him though.

Apart from Jonas...who's rubbish in the front 4-5 positions these days? Only Cabaye and perhaps Sissoko can be counted on to create chances. Marveaux's a remedy to that in some circumstances but he's yet to nail down a starting place.

It's amazing that he's actually found himself in the position to miss them given the total absence of crosses and balls in behind. His record since we partially fixed the isolation problem with Sissoko and Gouffran speaks for itself and will only get better when Jonas is finally benched.

Cisse scores when he gets good service. We need to replace the rubbish that consistently let him down first.

Should be starting for us tomorrow.

Gouffran has been widely described as a finisher who can work the channels. Most of the time for us he's well inside his own half.

Be over the moon with replacements for Colo and Jonas and a backup striker.

I fucking love House.

Against that bunch I'd rather we played a midfield 3 of Cabaye, Sissoko and Marveaux, anyway.

So what's possibly keeping him out for the rest of the season then?
