AY

We are playing through the wings a lot, nothing happening through centre

At least options on the bench. Wijnaldum gonna be dropped deeper for De Jong and Aarons brought on if needed. Two permacrocks on the bench tho..

Just saw the highlights from Norwich-CP. Really lucky to win that, few cracking saves for McCarthy, Norwich had a pretty clear penalty not given and goal disallowed. Nice goal from a corner tho for Palace

Problem with Cisse is that he is not a very good solo striker. Scores the chances pretty well yea, but can't link up play or play well with back to goal. He just doesn't participate enough in the build up. Dunno really what kind of striker he should play with.. worked well with Ba

Walcott is listed as midfielder so surely he will get a lot of points. Will play a lot as a striker anyway

Penalty for HJK in the 84th minute!3-3! Helsinki going through by away goals

Red card for Astana too.

Bolasie has had a one good season. Not even a great one. Why the hell would anyone pay over 10-15 million for him is beyond me.

Communication is a huge issue in central defense man. Just thought that it would take a week or two so he understands the basics. Re: Tevez, he is a striker so a bit different. Just think that if Mbemba cant communicate with his center half pair, it is gonna be a big problem.

Does Mbemba speak english btw? That may be a reason why he doesn't start for a while.

We need a new left back. Haidara was so bad

Who is our captain today btw?

Colo must be off. No other reason why he hasn't played a single game.

Thank f we didnt pay that for him

Our players don't seem to fit 4-4-2 very well anyway.. No place for De Jong

Sissoko will be right side against Southampton if he isn't sold before that..

Cause he's way over hyped Nope. Probably wouldn't come and asking too much wage anyway

Must be Cathro's fault that we are being linked with so many midfielders.. He wants Steve to build Bayern -type 2-8-0 formation?

I thought shuttler was perfectly sensible word for a certain role? Someone that plays a bit like box to box midfielder, Italy NT used them frequently.

Please be Shaqiri; struggling to think of anyone else Naah, somenone with lower status and on lower wages. Shaqiri will be too expensive for Mike.

I think the biggest thing we can learn is that the team is playing a lot less hoofball. Wijnaldum and Anita will help a lot at keeping the ball and playing it out from the back. Even Krul seems to take short kicks more. Of course positions are all over the place and cant say much.

I think Sissoko will most probably play in a wide midfield position, so coming a bit inside and leaving the right side open for Janmaat. Janmaat is the best crosser and Sissoko can start his powerful runs from better position. Perez and Cisse are a bit of a problem. Think Papiss will start and Mitrovic will be on as a sub at first. Perez as a sub for De Jong, who won't be fit for a whole season anyway. Wijnaldum/Anita/Colback/Abeid fighting for the 2 number 6 spots.

I think Willo will be sold or Lascelles loaned out. If we get another CB in then both will happen. No one will buy Colo or Fistpump

Oooh! Shefki is a legend. Never forget the goal he scored for our national team with his nose.

Amavi was the best left back in Europe according to whoscored.com ratings, doesnt mean much, but highly rated. http://s8.postimg.org/fw5fss5l1/amavi.jpg
