Flanno's not in the same class as Clynne, a proper full back. We need a proper full back. Not sure if I'd get rid of Moreno, and he may mature in years ahead, but if someone wants him then I'd let him go if we could recoup our outlay. Otherwise I'd play him left of a three in 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3. We really have to stop playing the three ten's in that 4-3-3 formation, or 4-2-3-1 as there's no cover for the full backs to get forward. People rightly admonish Moreno for his part in Sevilla's equaliser at the start of the second half, but don't forget, Coutinho (whilst great at chasing and harrying defenders and nicking balls) has a defensive tackle like Larry Grayson.
I'm not #neutral and called correctly the finals that Liverpool weren't involved in i.e. the FA Cup. I called not only the result but the exact scoreline. Which I also did with the two semi-finals. So firstly #sortyourstoryout Secondly I've had that sig since May when the sweepstake draw was made, because it's about me winning the draw, not a prediction of the final. So you pick an odd time to start whinging about it.
As you have given the site such good news regarding Benteke the "Syndicate" have decided to cancel the contract on you. This means you can continue to eat vast quantities of fast food without the fear of a large metal box suddenly dropping on you and imprisoning you.
Id personally shift stewart on too. Ojo is very young for next year. I didnt include brannagan either fir that reason.

Benteke would fit in to half the teams in the PL, and score **** loads of goals. Palace suits him well, good transfer for them if it goes through.
Yeah, I 've no axe to grind against Benny. He's as good as many any what he does, but we'd need Glen Hoddle or someone of that ilk to hit his static head from thirty yards to make use of him. The epitome, imo, was when we played West Ham last season. He followed James Collins around (not the other way around) and simply stood next him as we pumped the ball in to him. I'm sure he's stronger running onto the ball whipped in from the flanks, but when do we do that? And when we do it tends to be our centre-backs from set-pieces. Would have been interesting playing him with Gerrard - he could find him with a long ball. But look at the difference with Studge and his headed goal against Villa from Ford's cross. That was all about Studge losing his man and a good cross. Benny just never seems to be in space. Great pity, but I think we bought him because he bullied Skrtel when he played against us for Villa - but who, of that type of player (Giroud, Costa, Lukaka, etc) doesn't?
Anyone you had that we wanted, we couldn't afford; anyone we could afford, we wouldn't want! It's a conundrum!
The minimum to expect from a professional footballer is effort. Benteskey can join Balotelli in the "get ****ed" ranks as far as aim concerned!
Palace have Zaha, Puncheon, Bolasie and Townsend out wide, all they need is a CF to play with and they've had to make do with Wickham and Adebayor last season so he'd definitely improve them.
I'm just gald its not west ham and payet playing to him. I think whereas palace will be happy in 10th west ham with him would be above us by the end...
West Ham have Carroll. Benteke is better all round player, but they are too similar to have both in the squad you'd think.
