    I don’t know why people think he’s streaky. He’s a striker that will score goals if he gets the ball passed to him in dangerous positions.

    So a Pulis team away from home, hurricane conditions and Saints being pretty toothless I think it is safe to say football will be the winner today.

    Happy to be corrected but I think his goals tend to come in bursts? They certainly have here, some is undoubtedly down to what you say but not all imo.

    I can count the chances he’s had this season and the back end of last on one hand. Even the last game, he had to make the chance himself. I just think he scores goals when the opportunity is there.

    I wouldn't exactly be spitting venom if neither of them were dropped. Just don't think Tadic has offered enough for a while, no matter what side he plays on. With VvD. It will be interesting to see if it is just fitness related or he really just couldnt give a toss

    He had a couple against Swansea, only half admittedly. Agree he created his own goal last week, quite brilliantly too... I don't actually think we're too far apart in what we're saying to be honest but he does appear to be streaky to me. We'll agree to disagree :)

    When I've got more time I'll check his rate at Napoli as I'm sure he was there a bit too, could be way off!

    Anyway, I hope last week was the start of a 'streak' for him ;)

    Am I the only one who thinks Tadic has improved massively in the last month? Before that yes, he was poor but been much better recently.

    One player, usually isolated. And how many games has he started since January?

    But he’s making the runs and the movement that the likes of Davis et al are failing to find.

    Let us hope he brings home the bacon then as things have been a bit lean lately.

    I think he’s been a lot better too for what it’s worth. Nathan out for Sofiane for me. And get Tadic on the left please.

    Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes!

    Oh and Hoedt in for Long and back 3 please, greedy?

    I'll be baffled if Nathan starts today.
