Ah but comm you're reasoning is football - I agree with his point but there is an underhanded swipe at the geordie boy Colback
Aye this maybe be true Marcus...mine is for his poor performances, and not for his birth place... Iv'e just got another kitten, a ginger one...Iv'e named him Jack (this is true mind), he's fun to watch for a while, but ultimately you get bored of watching him run in circles.
I'll point out firstly that I don't watch the lad 90 mins game in game out so a question. Did he play this way under Bruce? If so, fine. If not do you think it's how o'neil has instructed him to play? From what I have seen he can pass, tackle, has a good engine but perhaps not the fastest. Shooting, can't really comment as he doesn't do it that often although I do remember him scoring not last season but the one before I think. He just seems reall unadventurous. Want to see him really go for it!
He's a tidy footballer, I just havent seen anything to say he will cut it at Premier league level. Time for him to be benched
Sad reality about the whole thing is that he's likely to be playing for the next few weeks (him or McClean) down to Cattermoles injury! I'd play Johnson Left, Gardner and Larsson in the middle and Sessegnon on the right with Wickham up top with Fletch personally - or even Wickham on the ing and Sess in behind Fletcher (as that is starting to work now) Gutted about Cattermole - am also completely gutted for Mignolet as he has been awesome this season and has made a mistake - hope he recovers from it
He should be dropped, but he is just off the boil imo. He's proved on several occasions that he's capable My two starting CMs from now on would be Catts and Gardner (When Catts is fit!)
My honest opinion of the players who we could lose as they wont help us kick on are: Colback Ji Larsson Vaughan Meyler McClean
As 83 said cest would you drop Catts??! Player of the season for me so far!! Guessing you mean in the short term whilst Catts is out
This - and any argument from NMG can be removed by thinking "This is NMG, when do we ever take him seriously") And This - Meyler adds a lot more bite in midfield than Colback at the moment and I honestly think Colback needs some time out of the first team
