  1. Saying on talk sport (who hate us remember), Sherwood kept us in the League last season playing to benteke's strengths. maybe he should try the same with Gestede!

    Problem is that Gestede doesn't have 'strengths', he has only one, which is heading, which isn't going to be enough.

  2. Guzan a few years back and for a long time was one of our best players. Great reflexes, good on crosses and I always felt assured when he was in goal. He always brought confidence to the back line.

    Recently though it's the opposite because of his kicking. He's so awkward on the ball it's unreal. So annoyed how him and the statue Lescott cost us today, but you can't forget all the good Guzan has done for us.

    Its unlikely, but I'm just saying I don't think its at the point where there is no way back for him. He certainly hasn't burned his bridges - he's made some strange calls, people are seriously questioning him, but he's not overseen embarrassing collapses in individual games.

    What about Leicester away?

  4. Something happened to him yesterday because there were at least three occasions in the second half when he had loads of space to overlap in to and he didn't go. He held back and received a nothing ball. 

    We'd switched to a back four then so maybe he was told not to bomb on. Maybe he wanted to but was worried about leaving the space in behind that has led to goals previously. Either way, he needs to have the confidence to run past people, especially when there's easy space to run in to. 

    And there was a moment in the last fifteen minutes when Grealish had the ball twenty yards infield and was imploring him to bomb on so he could play a ball in. 

    In the end Grealish played the ball there anyway to force Amavi to run on to it - he belatedly chased it and nearly got to it but it went out of play. Before any of that had happened, Jack had already shouted "F*** off" and turned his back on it - he was clearly furious.

    Now that begs two questions.

    1.) Is Amavi being instructed not to make runs to the byline, even when other players think the space is available?

    2.) Does our 20 year old playmaker know more about the game than his manager?

    I think we've got this very talented footballer confused and tied up in knots of thinking about what he should be doing rather than just expressing his ability - by all means make sure he's doing everything right tactically in his own half, but let him play once he's in the final third surely?

    He looks really, really frustrated to me.

     

    Someone recalls that differently in the Grealish thread :D

  5. Were ruining this guy's career 

    Shame

    Not ruining ruining his career in the slightest. He's a good player with huge potential and he's showing that.

    He cost us a point against Palace and you could say the goal VS Albion was down to his error as well. So there's a lot of room for improvement still.

  6. I remember after Sherwood got sacked by Spurs he was doing some punditry on ITV4 on the Europa League. He came across utterly clueless with his opinions on certain players etc. I put that to the back of my mind after what he did end of last season but now it's more in my mind than ever!

  7. People really are only as good as their last game or two on here aren't they?
     

    Sinclair has been crap the past 2 games but one of our best players for the first few games of the season.

    Don't agree, he's just anonymous in every game he plays. Doesn't try and take his man on, just puts in extremely average performances.

  8. Got a feeling we will see

    Guzan,Bacuna,Richards,Lescott,Amavi,Westwood,Gana,Sanchez,Agbonlahor,Sinclair,Gestede

    subs:Bunn,Clark,Hutton,Veretout,Grealish,Traore,Gil

    If Agbonlahor and Sinclair both start...oh my days...
