    Could be back tonight , I hope so he's been missed with Routledge's poor recent form .It took him a long time to settle and then injuries have meant a stop start career with us to date .There have been glimpses of what a talent he is and hopefully with a decent run in the side we'll have yet more options .

    I agree. Would love to see him come back tonight. Routledge hasn't been pushed for his place and it's showed lately. Pablo has taken a very long time to settle here but some players are like that. It's obvious he's talented and he's one of those players that tries to take players on and keeps trying even when it doesn't work.

    He is a really nice bloke too. Think I mentioned before I met him in the LC gym and he was happy to talk, though his English isn't great (my Spanish is worse!). He is TINY! I've seen bigger teenagers. His personal trainer had him on the weights and he really needs it.

    Has the potential to be one of our legends here if he can raise his game a notch or two. <ok>

    A really clever player and I'd be delighted to see him tonight. Sometimes watching him I think his brain is about 5 seconds ahead of everyone else's, he really can pick a killer pass

    I hope he plays tonight, be nice to get him some games under his belt for fitness reasons, and tonight will be a good place to start.

    Shame about his injury. He was looking really sharp this season. Seemed stronger on the ball as well.

    Love pablo , he is the player that if on form makes our attack a joy to watch. Probably the most talanted and creative player we have and plays passes others cant Even Dream up, michu ,bony and others Will benifit from a fit pablo.

    An attack from 70 mins onwards consisting of pozuelo,pablo,michu and bony could be interesting to watch !

    Our style of play means we need the defence splitting pass. Or something different otherwise we can be a bit predictable, cant speak highly enough of pablo and the potential he has when fully fit and on form ;)

    I agree with that NJ but as for "Probably the most talanted and creative player we have" - it could be the kiss of death. You said that about Luke Moore. <laugh>

    Pablo is on a par with JDG for powder-puff tackling and tracking back so that will probably alienate him to most of the electorate <whistle>

    I said he was one our most technically gifted forwards ,and i stick by that too ;)

    Was shocked we let luke go, i thought he was a perfect number 2/3 striker behind michu and bony , its clear he misses something though and im sure laudrup knew what it was .

    I Think pablo is awesome though, would love to see him stay injury free and build on his early season form

    I think the stats show that's way off. Could be our most creative player by a distance but he seems to take a long time to rediscover his form after injury. At his best he could set Bony up with a glut of chances.

    Wonder why he wasn't involved last night as he seemed to be on the brink of a return, maybe ML felt he didn't want to risk him but he needs games to regain his sharpness particularly with so many important games coming up.

    Evening, Ivor. Not quite sure which part of my comment you don't like, but he is certainly creative and could make chances for Bony. Or he could just cut inside and score himself.

    Afternoon, Aswan. Actually, I don't dislike anything about your comment - surprised it came across that way. But I totally agree with what you've just posted. :smile:
