Ba's obviously an absolutely brilliant finisher but I really don't think he's got the all-round game to spearhead a really top side. His touch and passing are very erratic, for example.
Reckon he'll be shunted out when Tiote and de Jong get fit, meaning Sissoko goes wide. Frankly, I'd even start Perez or Aarons ahead of him, in his current form.
Striker or not at all.
He'll be good if he gets service and support, I think. Not going to smash any records or anything, but could get 12 goals and have a hand in quite a few others.
Play a proper winger every week and we'll see the best of him.
Decent, I guess. Thought Pards balled up by switching from the central 3.
Room for improvement, obviously, but I think we'll be a better possession team this season. Not that that's saying much.
