    Not at all no they've barely got an assist between them, Borini has zero this season. Defoe's goals come despite his teammates not because they set them up for him and that's inevitably going to dry up at some point because as good a poacher as he is he's not that good a forward that he can score one in two with no service whatsoever.

    I've said it before, it's absolutely pathetic that we've got a goal scorer of Defoe's quality and we haven't figured out a way to give the bugger the ball in any decent positions all bloody season. That's what you get when you play three DMs every game and don't try to win games.

    First name on teamsheet, not least because "Defoe" is easier than "Djillibodjillijilliupnorth"

    I agree mate (although I see N'Dong more as a box to box rather than a DM) but what I meant is that the same players (barring Gibson) were playing earlier in the season and he looked a better player than he has recently. He's probably had enough to be fair - thinking "If they won't try then why the hell should I?"

    As I said, first name on the teamsheet (as @Burly Hurley said, after pickford - unless you have 2 people writing the sheet at the same time in which case they write both names at the same time)

    Januzaj - 3 assists all season - 2 of which in the 4-0 win at Palace
    Borini - no assists all season

    He's fed off scraps since he got here years ago.

    See my post above yours Giacch. Probably explains my point better! Simple thing is he looked a better player earlier in the season than he has recently with the same rubbish around him!
