Danny Guthrie

[binnsy]

The way he has played in the last few games he will have to feel pretty aggrieved to be dropped for Tiote coming back in.

[Tiresias]

him and Cabaye in front of Tiote in midfield would be a very very tasty midfield, and if we seek to hold possession that's what I'd go for, but I suspect that hampers other aspects of our game so I doubt will be a frequent formation.

 

Guthrie's impressed me a lot, and massively eased my panics over Tiote / Cabaye injuries.

it's smilar to the way i thought we were heading. tiote central with the other central mids having more license to go forward. i'm sure this is why we were supposed to have the interest in barnetta.

[Nordstrom]

Played quite well in my opinion.

 

He has a clear knack for picking a long pass which gave us a lot of options today. It is a shame that the end product from the rest of the team wasn't as up to par of our usual standards.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

He and Cabaye had to do a lot of running. Guthrie in particular impressed with some of his technique and ability to spray the ball. It's a shame it often ended at the feet of Simpson or Lovenkrands.

[Yorkie]

Aye i thought he was one of our better players. I like him but still would get Tiote in the side as soon as he's fit; he's a better player and better for the midfield dynamic. At the moment we're playing with two box-to-boxers, whereas i think we're better with a more specialised AM/DM system.

I really like Guthers, but him and Cabaye just isn't the best option for the team. I'm actually quite interested to see Danny and Tiote line up together and see how they do.

[Ketsbaia]

Great game from the lad. Very impressed.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Played very well, thought he was our best player

[Skeletor]

Starting to look the player I always hoped he could become. Fantastic passing.

[Guest GeordieAce]

Knocked the ball about brilliantly apart from one god awful pass

[Ronaldo]

Good performance. I just wanted him to get the ball all game.

[aussiemag]

Hes almost identical to Cabaye, maybe reads the play defensively a little better.. seems to intercept other teams passes alot.

[Mick]

He played well again but the quicker we get Tiote back the better.

[Ronaldo]

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

Very impressed with him, but that's madness.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

Tiote would have to play though. Christmas tree formation with Ben Arfa and Jonas out wide?

[Mick]

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

 

I agree that he's playing well but I think Tiote and Cabaye are a better pair than Guthrie and Cabaye.

[Ronaldo]

Very impressed with him, but that's madness.

 

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

[Dokko]

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.

[TRon]

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.

[Geordie Ahmed]

I agreement, Guthrie has to keep his spot in the side, has easily been one of our best players since Tiote has been out

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.

[STM]

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.
