    Just for interest, and because it gives you a smug 'I told you he was rubbish' feeling, is last week's referee (Robert/Bobby Madeley) officiating this week? I noticed a couple of 'B. Madeley' names as fourth officials, last night for Chelsea v Liverpool, and this evening for Everton v Middlesbrough.
    Firstly, is this the same person, and secondly, has he been 'dropped' as referee for this week, or are referees on a 'squad rotation' basis?
    I haven't looked, but is anyone aware of the rating that Madeley got for last week's match? I'm aware that there has already been discussion about the somewhat secretive nature of these scorings, but does anyone have any ITK information about how he was rated by an assessor?

    Reports suggesting Charlie won't start tomorrow due to Puels rotation policy<doh><laugh>.

    We beg for a striker to bang a few in and then we leave him on the bench the next game after doing so :headbang:

    Frazer
    Cuco VVD Jose Ryan
    Oriel
    Pierre Clasie
    Dusan
    Charlie Nathan

    I am less ready to chuck the diamond as I'm not yet sure whether it won't work or whether we haven't mastered it yet.
    Let's bear in mind that it isn't supposed to be as fixed as 4-4-2 tends to be and depends on players applying it flexibly.
    I think Dusan has been better in the hole in the Prem than he was Thursday and I agree that Nathan is just the sort of player you want in the hole and changed things Thursday, but I don't think Puel is ready to change yet and he may rest Dusan.

    I love Maya, but Jose, O Capitao, will play tomorrow

    He looked knackered by the time he came off. Jay picked up a knock. It makes you wonder who will be up front for League cup game against Palace, we can barely rest strikers we are so short!

    Nothing serious, a knock I heard. Might just be protecting him.

    Well and the fact he couldn't run after 25 minutes on Thursday.

    We should have entered the market, just for cover would have been sensible. This could really hurt us.

    Most worrying aspect of Puel's rotation policy, is that he called me this morning asking me to play

    Nothing to worry about. Shane Long's going to score at least two tomorrow. And so is Redmond.

    Hope so. When Shane gets one, he'll go on a nice little run.

    You can talk. You've clearly been at the Bitter Lemon again.

    Does that mean we all get a go, or do you have to have ten away games under your belt?

    I believe it's by a lottery system, matched to the number of likes on forum postings, divided by your weight, multiplied by your "Black Box" pass to falling over ratio.

    "Divided by your weight" might be a problem.
