Who's the weak link in our squad?

Haven't voted, we've no weak links...............

 

This for me.

He has also made far too many errors this season.

 

I have to say though, I think it very doubtful that any of these can match Raylors deadballs. Certainly on the evidence I have seen in France and so far with us. Indeed I don't think Ben Arfa is particularly great with the dead ball from what I've seen. Certainly Cabaye possesses dead ball ability, but not in Raylors class. Marveaux I've seen very little of and to be honest he isn't even worth considering as he has it all to prove now.

I don't get this thing with Jonas helping out Raylor. I hope he does the same regardless of the full back, and its as much to do with our tactics and set up, as opposed to protecting Raylor. Certainly it was apparent early doors when he was adjusting to a new position, but less so as the games have gone on. Jonas is a defensive winger for me anyway. The team should always come before the individual, and Jonas playing defensively is one of the main reasons for our solid start to the season.

 

Raylor is more of midfield player anyway. All his best qualities are that of a midfield player. Immense crossing, passing and dead ball deliveries.

He should be considered for the RM spot.

 

I came down to the same choice betweenSimmo and Raylor as everyone else, but it was more a process of elimination than anything else. Both have been fine this season. But once you've eliminated every other member of the club as obviously not a weak link, you're left with them.

They are our weakist links, but I don't think they're weak links

 

TIOTE

 

I voted Raylor, he's done fantastically well so far this season but remember he was only ever meant to be a short term solution to the left back problem. As has been said with Jonas coming back to help him out we lose something going forward.

 

Been real nice knowing you.

 

Just isn't quick enough for that role though I don't think. Would be very similar to Barton last year, Pardew said at the start of the season, rightly in my opinion, that he wanted more pace in the side.

 

This...I don't mind either, but for us to progress those are the 2 places I'd want to improve. Despite all the Obertan love, I'd happily take a better RW as well!

 

Make a good point. Instead of having Sammy in their, why not Raylor. Stick Santon in at left back.

 

Up until this season, the time I was most impressed with Raylor is when he was in CM for a bit v Villa last season. Although we played poorly and lost, it was only his introduction that made us look threatening towards the end and he had some great passing.

 

Tell u what, seeing as Raylor has won the poll....wouldn't it be nice if Santon had some game time this season....mental isn't it?

I smell arrogance

 

Raylor. Take away the goals and he's no better than Simpson, and then consider than Raylor has Jonas in front of him and Simpson's had ****e cover for 2 and a half years in front of him.

 

No one said they dont want Santon to play you tit, but he's not a CM for the hundredth time.


Also I dont understand people saying Raylor has been "brilliant" thus far. He's scored some good goals but hasnt been especially good or bad in defence to this point.

 

Surprised Obertan's only got two votes, people have been slating him for weeks then he plays well against Stoke and the problem is gone?

 

Sorry m8 but they did. I had about 6 of em talkin cr*p b4 the suggestion of CM ever came up. Thats why I went mental. I didn't care about the CM thing. Was a one off comment plp decided to jump all over.

....que groundhog day comments...

 

Not this again, ****ing hell.
