I disagree.  In other games when he's covered for Tiote/Yohan, he's always dragging it at the end.  Hands on his head all the time, poor passing, bad decision making, etc.  For me, it's clearly a stamina issue. If you went back and looked at the games where he's played 90 for us, you'd see it.

 

He was overhitting and missing his passes in the first half, remember the break we had where he drilled it 10 yards ahead of HBA who was level with him...was that stamina?

 

No, but if you look at the Chelsea match and Everton match (as 2 that I can remember) he was looking very knackered after 70 minutes or so. 

 

He is looking leaner and fitter to me nowadays so he has improved but yes I agree he has suffered from this problem in the past.

 

Best and Ameobi on on the other hand need to improve massively in this area. The latter is a joke of an pro footballer/athlete on recent showings.

Don't think you can tar best with the shola brush! He works really hard and runs his arse off, he's just not tremendously technically gifted. There's a reason why his nickname is 'beast'!

Alot better without Cabaye. Likes being the main man.

 

Yep. His fitness is a worry still.

 

At home Guthrie's probably a better bet than Yohan on this display.

 

Don't really agree with saying who's better.

 

I think it would be great if we did it the same way Man Utd do it - rotating the players around. Cabaye, Tiote and Guthrie - on the form of recent - are on about the very same level and have their different strenghts and weaknesses.

Guthrie's been more of a creative, architect like player this season. Although he tries hard, he just doesn't have the legs and bite of a Cabaye. Hence saying he's a better bet at home.

Tiote will probably be away a month next season as well, absolute necessity that we get him on a new contract. He's been great, and today he was fucking immense. Worked his bollocks off, great passing and could have had two assists. Fair play for proper stepping up this season :thup:
