I find it hard to dislike him because of everything he brings aside from his end product, and even then against Wolves I thought his and Routledge's crosses were very good.

Jonas is probably our best out field player after Enrique (i do not know just how good Tiote and HBA are yet). Our left side is probably the best thing about our team at the moment.

 

                  Harper

 

Perch  Willy     Colo   Enrique

 

Rout   Smith    Barton   Jonas

 

         Nolan

                        Carroll

 

The team needs tinkering with yes. But its clearly the right side.  The two obvious ones are Smith and Nolan in particular who need replacing urgently. After that i'd want a closer look at Perch and Routledge as i'm not so sure yet they are even half decent standard for the Premiership. Although accept we have no better replacements for Rout and Perch yet really.

 

 

 

Like many i'd go with

 

               Harper

 

Taylor  Willy   Colo  Enrique

         

Rout  *Guthrie/Barton/Tiote  Jonas

 

          Ben Arfa   

                             Carroll     

 

* 2 of Guthrie/Barton/Tiote

 

Playing with that forward line and midfield makes us far more of a threat to opposition defences.

 

Krul

Campbell

Perch

1 of Barton, Guthrie, Tiote

Nolan

Tbh, Routledge has looked far more dangerous/effective than Jonas in these opening games.

I'm not sure that Routledge "has looked far more dangerous/effective," he has big problems getting the ball past the first defender.

Against Villa, perhaps. Against Wolves and Man U, no.

 

Blackpool?

The first signs of why he’s had loads of clubs? Promises a lot, delivers very little?

I was expecting more from Routledge against Blackpool tbh. If he can't make much impact against them it doesn't bode well.

seem to have the full back beat aswell, at least twice pulled back a couple of yards on him and got away from him with the ball, then seemed to think "i've proved myself to him, thats enough"

Routledge offers a lot less than Jonas defensively and not a great deal better going forward.

If we are to sacrifice a forward player then it has to be the very immobile Nolan. Yes, he has the knack of getting into the box at the right time but he doesn't "scare" any defender as far as I am concerned.

Hatem for Nolan is the straightforward swap. Jonas and Enrique work well together and it's a risk to break that partnership as it is quite solid defensively...

Routledge offers twice what Jonas does going forward.

 

Ron didn't start the fire, it was always burning, since the worlds been turnin'
