A number of midfield players who did not get a shirt yesterday have a real chance to impress the new boss on Wednesday.

 

Clean slate and all that.

davo's control is probably his biggest let down, he's sometimes controling things further than most people can kick em.

 

on the other hand diouf has some of the best control i've seen since begkamp, massive 50/60 yard balls are trapped with minimum effort.

 

I still think We'd be better with davis in the middle to get his noggin on the end of some crosses.

 

So do I

 

Anelka gets fed a diet of unwinnable long balls, that Davies would relish fighting for

 

And Anelka has all the ability in the world to play off a striker...I suspect it's thought he wouldn't do enough defensively though...Davies works hard from that position

 

I don't think we've ever cracked that conundrum - or even come close

So what you're saying is, you're only the attribute of being a good pointer away from being like Kevin Nolan

That's very good, J! Made me chuckle, that did!
