Tiotes Witch Doctor

Personally think Mbemba has been doing a sterling job at LB, hasn't really put a foot wrong and it would be a fight between him and Dummett for the LB slot for me. Manquillo would be decent backup for both fullback positions.

Yeah maybe, I've been rooting for him for so long because he looks like he could be such an exciting winger, hope that's not the case.

If the ball isn't played directly into his feet he really struggles to make up the ground and ends up stretching too much and falling over, weird thing to comment on I know but I see this in every game and he needs to keep his composure in those situations. Broke up play fairly well but thought yesterday was definitely his worst game, he will learn and improve I'm sure, its obvious to most people hes an absolute find.

Think he will keep us up fairly comfortably to be honest barring any major injury crisis or something along those lines, with current squad I reckon 11-15th but with a couple of good attacking additions in January there's no reason we cant finish in the top 10.

Still think he needs to start a couple of games to show what hes got, we've seen glimpses of what he can do, but hasn't had the chance, when the alternative is Atsu I think we can afford to give him a shot. Not saying Atsu has been that bad this season hes done OK but a lot of the time he offers very little.

Nowhere near as bad as the mackems make out, but I wouldn't say I'm impressed with him at all so far.

at people trying to blame him for not saving that absolute rocket today man. Hes been good so far this season, and is the least of our worries.

Whats his highest goal tally for Stoke in a season 4 goals? Hes already half way there man, world class.

He reminded me today of why I don't miss him at all and wasn't arsed when he left.

Should have spent the Murphy money on a decent number 10 ffs.

Working for Venky's.

Needs to be dropped to the bench, offers absolutely nothing. Rafa has instilled the effort there in him which I can't fault him for but unfortunately hes just a dud.

Still not convinced by him, thought Anita was the better of the two last season.

All round hes a breath of fresh air, but he cannot finish for shit. Mitrovic looked decent before his ban would start him against Liverpool personally.

We need to try something different until we hopefully sign a better player for his role in number 10, hes been ok so far this season but he simply doesn't have enough quality to be anything other than a below average premier league player. He doesn't score, doesn't assist and his link up play is hit and miss at best.

"Lawro" predicting us to get beat based solely on the fact he thinks they "need" to win it. Has us 18th in the league with -13 goal difference and no wins with his predictions so far

The save from the downward header against Stoke was pretty impressive mind. I don't rate the bloke that highly but he certainly isn't dropping any clangers or costing us points from what I've seen so far this season, and we've conceded only 4 goals in 5 games as a newly promoted side, until I see otherwise I would say hes had a good start.

Drives us forward but also has a huge contribution defensively, this guy is an absolute gem.

100% effort from start to finish, that's what we say we want and we're getting it.

I have a lob on

Make a fucking sub before its too late man!

Well organised and well drilled, we look solid at the back which is important because we are fairly weak up top relatively speaking. Really impressed with us again so far, not to ruin the mood but imagine what Rafa could turn is into if properly backed man.

Shite opening 20 minutes but no goals conceded and a couple of chances created, I'll have that.

I bet if I made a second FF account, with the sole aim of picking the worst possible team every week it would still outperform my shower of excrement.
