I wouldn't be dropping Guthrie even with Tiote back, he's simply playing too well.

 

Drop Cabaye? Weaker of the two right now. Could stick Guthrie out wide, not natural but it at least gets Obertan out of the line-up, medium sized mercy.

I'm not too concerned about Tiote tbh. Guthrie and Cabaye will struggle to match the best teams because those sides have a lot of power and pace through the middle and you need Tiote against them. But we've played them now and the Guthrie/Cabaye is more than good enough to twank the rest of the premier's midfields.

Very impressed with him, but that's madness.

 

What's madness? Not dropping a player who's playing well?

 

Are you saying you wouldn't bring Tiote back in or you'd drop someone else instead? If so, surely not Cabaye.

 

It would be harsh on Danny, but he's not capable of offering what Tiote does.

The biggest compliment i can pay Guthrie is that i can't tell the difference between him and Cabaye when they are on the ball.

 

In fact i can pay a bigger compliment, he's playing better than Cabaye. Mind you i have always rated him as an excellent technician, his engine is what has let him down in the past, perhaps playing with a more energetic midfield he is finding it easier i.e not playing alongside Nolan.

Guthrie is useless out wide as we've seen many times, Marveaux getting injured is a bastard for us.

God no. If the only way to get Obertan out of the team is sticking Guthrie out there, I'd rather just keep lightbulb head out there. Keep Guthrie in the middle if we're going to keep him in the team.

We need a tiote type player in the middle.

 

Against top 4 sides, definitely but against the rest I think we'll be ok with Cabaye and Guthrie. What they lack in steel, they make up for in inventiveness. We have far bigger problems in other areas, especially with Taylor and Colo out.

I think we get far more out of Cabaye with Tiote on the pitch.
