Siem de Jong (still alive)

He could be our most important player for the rest of our season. Get Cisse and Mitro ahead of him.

 

Perez and Townsend on the flanks with SDJ in the middle pulling the strings.

Our best option for the role off the front man.

 

He receives the ball well due to his excellent touch, can hold defenders off due to his size, and then he makes very quick decisions when he receives the ball. Was key time and time again in the second half.

Think it's time for him to start ahead of Perez, like.

 

:lol: based on what?! The only way he should be in the team is with someone like Perez linking up with him. Plus Perez has actually scored 5 goals for us this season and needs the confidence to keep playing from a new manager. De Jong has done fuck all for us this season.

This, although I wonder who we can play instead of Sissoko or would simply moving him back to the right wing be better. Our wing play in general is abysmal.

Based on Perez being constantly outmuscled in the middle by Kirchoff and wanting too many touches in congested areas probably. de Jong was more effective in the centre due to his size and the way he looks to move the ball quickly. If Perez is to stay in the side, he's better suited to playing on the left imo.

Based on the fact he's better. Perez should be used as an impact sub against tired legs.

Totally agree.

Totally agree.

 

Basically what we did that got us our two best results of the season against Liverpool and Spurs.

Don't think so, I'm still to be convinced De Jong can hack it in this league. Slow, lumbered, and even if you take out the fact that he's made of glass, his excellent close control and intelligent mind seems to stop our forward play as opposed to enhance it. Again, I think he deserves a chance, but not in the place of Perez who brings a different dimension to our attacking play (or A dimension), and deserves to be on the left far more than Townsend or Sissoko.

Yep, agree with that. Perez seems to be more suited running down the left channels.

De Jong is our one and only option playing off that front man. Nothing else has worked there all season. A big reason why we never seem to be able to get more dangerous chances and score more goals. People keep losing possession in that area.
