Not many. Made pretty big f*** ups with Piqué and Rossi though, didn't he? They even clearly had ability before they left. Who's to say this isn't one of those examples (rather than the likes of Gibson who's never shown any ability) Absolutely nothing to do with him not being able to 'control' them. So who has left who he couldn't control? Why are you asking me? I can't think of any, as I've suggested.

That's only once. I don't think that's really a refusal, either.

When has that happened?

Not many.

Looks like another lovely midfield player we could hoof the ball over. Yeah, that must be why Cabaye's been one of the most noticeable CMs in the league.

Nonsense. How is there any evidence of anything different? Well, if we want to nitpick, there's 3 Premier League goals in 5 starts in 2009. The line between success and failure for forwards is thinner than for the others 9 players on the field. We've seen it with a lot of strikers, upset the balance of their reponsibilities and their return drastically changes. Look at Leon Best; as the main man he couldn't stop scoring.

Nonsense.

Yeah, he really was. Beyond incredible how much he improved after that brace against West Brom.

Is he defintely out for QPR?

I'd rather have Guthrie than Tiote for this game anyway. I hope he's fully fit, though.

I quite like Santon at LB.

From his personal website: :lol:

Paul Jewell and his sordid sex snaps.

Except it's not us.

I think he has a point.

I didn't hear it, like.

They were nullified. Daglish got it spot on with Silva missing.

Didn't see the game, mate. I'm assuming you did, but I haven't really seen anything from Abeid that suggests he's a relatively accomplished 'defensive mid'.

Considering how much we dominated Man U in the last game, do you think it would have been a good idea to sit back after Ba's goal, and invite them onto us? Essentially what Liverpool did tonight, after having it so easy early on. Yeah, because playing Man U at home is comparable to playing City away.

We don't have one, though. Plus, Cabaye would be far better with a box-to-box CM partner - not that I'm suggesting Vuckic fully fits that description.

I'd love to see the reaction on here if we scored early on away to City and defended for the rest of the game, winning 0-1. Biased little creeps.

No chance of that.

They won because of that defensive crap.

I think Vuckic is ideal to use at home against a team who'll sit deep and stand off, which QPR most certainly will.
