I want to know what Gus see's on a daily basis with Larson, because we don't see it on a match day, no place anywhere for catt's do we read anything into that ?.
Why Altidore??? I don't see it. What's he supposed to bring to the game? We must be selling Fletcher I guess.
Clearly see's something in both we're not seeing. God was dying to see Borini lead the line before Scocco's arrival.
How can Dozy and Seb earn a place after their performances at the weekend? Wheres Catts? Somthing fishy going on here I think!
I'm thinking Gus must believe Fletcher isn't up to full fitness yet and Altidore is his only other option. That's the only justification i can think of.
Catts picked up a knock on Saturday. Went straight down the tunnel. Don't know if why he'snot playing but he was definitely injured at the weekend
Thinking! Is this gonna be another one of these where gus has to make changes to correct his team selection ala southampton Risky strategy if so
Come on Jozy. Please.. In my view both him and Fletcher are bringing the same thing to the table at the moment... which is very little
Catts injured Who does he play instead of Larsson? Giacc? Gardner? none of them are playing brilliantly at the moment imo
