Yep, apart from that part about Coloccini.

Fantastic if it's upheld.

I'd be very surprised if the midfield get 10 between them this season.

Or against a PL side - the penalty against Blackburn excluded.

True enough. There's nowhere near enough goals in the midfield for us to be playing a striker who doesn't get too many, which is one of the reasons I wanted Best up there instead of Ben Arfa to begin with. I'm sure Best will get one and he'll go on a run again, but we do need a new striker in January.

We currently have a manager who is not playing a skilful player because he’s not grafting enough. That's speculation. And again, I'm unhappy about it too, but there are more differences than similarities with the Robert v Souness situation.

Bit harsh comparing Pardew to Souness; as it is comparing Robert to Ben Arfa. Different scenarios.

Clever people don't always make clever footballers, and vice versa. Shola and Shearer support both ends of the argument.

A box-to-box player by definition has that ability. Of course, he's by far the best in the world in that role imo.

Yeah those c***s seem to pick sporting events and occurences to use as 'examples' quite frequently. Apparently the brutal KO of Larry Olubamiwo by John McDermott (Youtube it, seriously) in February ended up all over that site. John would probably be horrified.

Got to be said, I've yet to see Obertan legitimately contribute defensively. Ben Arfa's mere presence would surely help us to defend from the front, without taking into consideration his far greater attacking ability.

He's a box-to-box powerhouse. Superb player.

I think I'd describe Yaya Toure as being white before a deep-lying playmaker. The rest pretty much hit the centre of the board.

After a couple of shaky moments in the first half he had an excellent game on Saturday. Very encouraging.

Blast from the past. It's a ludicrous comment alright. I tend to think we'd not miss Tiote much against the smaller teams; Ba on the other hand is every bit as important to us as RVP is to Arsenal, if not more so.

No more Reina and Szczesny ahead of Krul? Or have I mistaken you with another... I don't think I've ever rated Szczesny that much. On current form I'd play Krul ahead of Reina. You can't not, really.

I'm only putting Bale at LB because I'm playing a 4-3-3 and he's probably perfect for that role within that formation. In a 4-4-2 it would be Enrique.

Aguero.

De Gea and Terry? Really? Here's mine: Krul Richards Kompany Coloccini Bale Silva Toure Modric Sturridge RVP Aguero

I'd be very, very surprised to see him go.

I don't think he had a great game on Sat, but I didn't completely expect that on his first game back It's good that most on here have come to appreciate his contribution, though.

Bore off, man. You're not allowed to be remotely objective with your ideal lineups on here. There's something seriously up if Obertan's being prefered, though. Given than he's one of the worst footballers in our squad.

Bore off man. You were wrong. No need to get defensive about it.

Who says they're going to try to win headers? It's usually the best way to defend high crosses. Eh? He's talking about Swansea attacking. And what then if our defnders are 175cm tall and can't jump? Once again, Swansea don't play football predicated on their strikers winning headers. Wake up, man.
