Look at Souness there, more lipstick than a £5 hooker (allegedly)

 

[bag a yoko]

If I had to buy a shirt it would always be Niasse. The guy is pure entertainment.

 

[Pabbers]

no he's not

Yes, he is.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Reasonably comfortable, nervous about Keane - maybe bring Kenny on for him and push Holgate to CB. Get ball out to Bolasie - they are scared of him. COYB

 

[toffeejack]

Bolasie has been really good, but as I said in his palace days, he has no end product. He then showed me that when he had a top striker to aim for he did have that end product. But today he's constantly beaten a man (something we haven't done all season) and then there's nothing to hit. This is where a target man who can head will be invaluable.

 

[Toffeelover]

Its a decent selection, what would you want different

Kenny at RB. Holgate in centre and drop Keane

 

[trueblue10]

That's a bit more like it.

Shows up how much we need a left back with a left foot and a centre forward.

 

[Hogwild]

Better, resembles actual football.

Keane not woeful
Vlasic a breath of fresh air
Miss Coleman tremendously on the right

 

[lungo]

Played alright so far, it's there to win. How the hell doesn't Vlasic play every week? Such an intelligent player. Great to see Bolasie burnin' fullbacks again too. We really need to speed it up when we get in their half though, these are actually sh*te.

Playing on the wrong side. Every time has to put the ball on his right foot. Together with Cuco (no left foot either) very bad combination.

 

[banno]

Oh. Vlasic not grabbing the opportunity with both hands is he. Yet.

I believe he is. Looks classy

 

[RomanReigns]

Much better in possession than our previous 2 games

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Bolasie has been really good, but as I said in his palace days, he has no end product. He then showed me that when he had a top striker to aim for he did have that end product. But today he's constantly beaten a man (something we haven't done all season) and then there's nothing to hit. This is where a target man who can head will be invaluable.

If he did, he wouldn't have been at Palace, or Everton.

Hit and hope.

Is what it is, play to that strength.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Niasse has a had a few loose touches/passes but Rooney does that every game and nothing is said. Because he's upfront, its highlighted more.

He needs to do better but he's the biggest goal threat we have at the minute.

 

[oliverwri]

I’d say no so we don’t start launching it to his head constantly.

Niasse is giving me a headache. You make a fair point though.

 

[Zeke]

If one more person says Keane isn't slow, I'm gonna punt a baby at there face!!
