    The trouble is Steve those moments are few and far between. I'm afraid he is no more than a show pony and this is another example of money, however much we paid in loan fee and wages, not wisely spent.

    Great little player, but the team is unbalanced. I'd like to see how he does in FC's role, bet we would get our penaltys then

    More regular than anyone else on our side with the possible exception of Noone though. It's why Witts was persisted with for so long. Someone needs to be able to produce the quality even if it's only twice a game. In my list of Zaha moments I ignored his game changing contribution in the only PL match we've scored a couple a won in **** knows how long too.

    Great to see varied opinions on a subject being expressed without the need for any personal abuse toward those that hold different views.

    Now **** off Stevo you one-eyed twat!............<laugh>

    Zaha is a luxury player who may or may not turn our side into a match winning combination. He can light up the crowd with some tricks and a sharp turn of pace to put the opposition on the back foot - that is something we've lacked all season, especially with the exclusion of Noone by Malky for the first half of it.

    On the other hand, he can be so frustrating. His quick feet leading to his shot on Saturday was awesome, but the actual shot (finish) was very poor - straight at the keeper and at head height. I would have expected Bellamy or especially Mason to roll it to one side and scored. His defensive qualities are no exisitant and he never looks up for a scrap to me when the chips are down.

    That is maybe a bit harsh, but when we get a bit of magic from him, he either does something like that "box shuffle" (he's no finisher), or over does the flash stuff and loses it. Apart from his superb through ball for Bellers against Norwich, his final ball can be poor quality and nowhere near as good as Noone's.

    Jury is still out as to whether he is the type of player we need to scramble out of this.

    Sparks - don't know about the jury being out but from where I'm sat the judge is wearing a black hankie on his head.

    The shot against Hull was a case of sticking his foot through it and catching it too well imo. It's one of those where if he doesn't catch it quite as well it flies straight past the keeper. It is the choice of a player not high on confidence.

    His final ball to FC for the post hit against Villa was a quality pass too.


    Now agree with me or **** off <ok> <laugh>
