Siem de Jong (still alive)

Sissoko is too dangerous not to play like

Nah. Was a waste of a shirt the majority of the game today, and that is quite often the case.

Didn't see the game like but just saw highlights and he created two absolutely brilliant chances like

I'm still not convinced by him, but if we can fit him, Perez and Mitro into the side somehow (and boot Cisse to the moon), he might be the calm, mature head needed behind those two young'uns. Let's see how we line up against Villa.

He was shite in the first half and looked to be sulking about and seemed so half arsed.  Got a bit more room in the second and whilst a bit wasteful at times, he was back to his best with some really powerful runs and was responsible for most of our good play.  Played a lovely through ball for Cisse, too.

 

On SDJ.  I quite like him.  He is probably our best passer of the ball, always looks to play it early and into the right areas.  He seems a really crafty player.  He is just so immobile and I'm not sure what his role will be for the rest of the season.  Mitrovic and Perez are too good to be riding the bench every week.  But then I don't see where de Jong plays, if we start them two?

The pass that set up the infamous Cisse save was mint. Didn't even look, just pinged it right in Papiss' path first time. I really hope he starts against Villa, I think he could make a massive difference as his one-touch play is just so quick, it should open up spaces for us much better around the box.

I think De Jong and Ayoze could be great together with some quick, one-touch interplay around the box. The only problem would be fitting them two and Mitrovic into a balanced team with Sissoko and Wijnaldum. Not really sure how we could do it without going all out attack and leaving ourselves massively exposed.

His play might not be overtly obvious but on the last 2 occasions he has played, his link up with Wijnaldum has been a positive. We need his intelligence and movement coupled with the excitement of Ayoze. All it needs is for McClaren to grow a pair and drop the French coward.

Colback isn't French.

Who's the French coward?

The one they call Moussa.

Our most creative player is a coward? :lol:

FWIW, I would actually try and get De Jong in the team, but it would be at the expense of either Anita or Colback, with Wini maybe sitting deeper, but that might upset the balance of the team, I dunno.

I don't think Colback adds to any balance of our team. He's a warm body who gets a yellow card.
