Yup - agree. I like him though, he just needs 3 attacking players round him, and his lack of goalscoring ability is frustrating, but he is such a good link player between defence and attack.
He's still a decent player, don't think it's very fair to say he's now past it, he's more than capable to cause us some problems. Especially when he drops into midfield and has runners past him.
Personally would go
------------Stek
Cedric Fonte Van Dijk Targett
--------Romeu-JWP-------------
Mane-------Davis---------Tadic
--------------Pelle----------------
Obviously Bertrand if he's fit. Clasie on the bench if back (unlikely?)
Wanyama on the bench if he manages to screw his head back onto his body.
Mane's best song is the freed from desire....
Mane's on fire, your defence is terrified Mane's on fire.....nananananananananananananana nanananananananananana
Like the Cedric and Juanmi songs, bit different but that inevitably means they'll be drowned out by the northam with seven nation army/Adam lallana makes messi look ****e tune....!!!
Certainly a better player when deeper. Not sure on his stats today, but he was all over the pitch and seemed to be pretty tidy with his passing. Great free kick too that first one, shame Ruddy got to it.
Tbf...he's clearly asked not to play, however come Tuesday when he's still here, it will be interesting to see what happens. Was there a pre match press conference for this game?!
I meant a starter, someone who is better than what we've got. Juanmi has barely got on the pitch.
Hopefully he will be that man but at the moment if he can't get on the pitch at the moment then it seems a bit of an odd signing to me.
Hopefully he'll come good as he's looked really handy in pre season.
I just want to see us attempt to play some good football, pass and movement, ball on the floor, the full backs overlapping and some fight and passion...what I really don't want to see is Caulker booting it to Pelle for 90 minutes.
