I thought he looked utterly disinterested and unmotivated.

Said a while ago that i reckoned he would look better on the left. Thought he played well last night, gave the youngsters some confidence to have him there.

Thought he was good enough at RB last night.

I'd never thought of that. It would be awesome. I dream he'd get us playing like Simeone gets his Athletic Madrid team did against Chelsea. Utterly irrational... Shola director of football? Club Chef. Lots of apple based dishes then. You shouldn't have said anything, I really want this to happen now. Every day i wake and he's not the manager, it hurts man! HURTS!

I have a totally irrantional wish that he ends up being our manager one day.

Vuckic was being played as a forward.

Champions league? You're aving a larf!

Well, you can look at your players and use a system that best utilises their natural game, or if you're good enough, you coach them to fulfill a role in a system that you think would be most effective against the majority of the oppostion.

Is it really £24m over 4 years? Is that all? What a terrible deal!

It's only a problem if it's not managed properly. Most teams have at least two quality strikers, it doesn't mean they have to start together every game. Personally I think they are perfectly capable of playing together provided we get the football right in the other parts of the pitch. Full backs overlapping and midfielders passing and moving rather than standing in defensive formations and playing long balls to the forwards is as big a problem. No striker in the world is going to look good playing in that formation unless he's in an Allardyce team. So, all we've go to do is buy and LW, RW and LB who can cross and we can make it work!!!!

It's incredible how he can go from Super Slick to Complete OAF and back again. Strong as an ox though.

Thought he got better as the game went on. Started anticipating the ball to his man and either intercepting it or getting tight early. He's 21 so he's got time to toughen up. Think he could make a decent FB tbh. Lovely left peg too.

Yep.

Me too.

Thought Bordeaux were very poor, have to agree with Jack Flash on that. When we went to 4-4-1-1 Anita played RM and didn't get in the game much, wouldn't blame him for that though. He'll come good, good skill set and athletic ability and seems smart enough, will just take a season to adjust. Could see what Cisse's natural game was today when he went central. I'm going to stick my neck out and say i don't think Cisse and Ba will ever form good partnership. Ba needs someone to run the channels and make a nuisance of themselves like Best did and Cole before him, Cisse looks like he'd benefit from genuine No. 10 for a partner and Ba's isn't that kind of player. They've not sacrificed their game to get it working for Senegal and i don't see them doing it here. Our problem is we don't have an ideal partner for either of them.

I've said a couple of times i thought he would be better on the left, one swallow doesn't make a summer but i thought on the whole he looked better. The think with him on the left is the FB has a genuine problem, if he shows him inside Gabs is on his stronger foot but he knows he'll probably be done for pace going down the outside. That indecision seems to give the FB a bad starting body position.

Glad to know it's working!

If it was me i would put IPS Durham/Liverpool/Peterborough etc.

Is that a good idea? Hoping to put four applications in tomorrow, assuming there's tickets left. Also what does passport 'place of issue' mean? IPS or UKPA? UKPA on older passports, IPS on newer ones. They're both the same issuing body more or less so I'd amazed if it mattered. It can matter in visa applications so i would put whatever is written.

Trying too hard to be all things to all men imo.
