    One again, the problem being caused by “clear and obvious” wording.

    I can't tell you the times Benni gets the ball takes it well beats a man or makes enough space to deliver and I think 'here we go' and then he just messes it up with that final ball. Such a talented footballer but missing a vital part.

    Soucek has become the goal scorer we had when he first joined since being allowed to get forward again now Rice has left.
    Whilst I agree that playing in a two with Rice definitely affected his game when Rice wanted more freedom to be a CM rather than just a DM, it's worth saying that in most games this season (I know last night we didn't) we've played with three in the middle (usually Soucek with both Alvarez and JWP) and often with Paqueta nominally on the left but with tendencies to move centrally as well.

    So although it's good to see Soucek back amongst the goals, it's in part due to a change in formation rather than just a change in roles within a Rice/Soucek pairing.

    Like you, in those situations, I think ' here we go' ...but mine usually has an ' again' on the end of it.

    Soucek's goal scoring form is back to what it was in his first season with us now that he doesn't have to play second fiddle to Rice, who never came close to Soucek's goalscoring record.
    Best thing all round was selling Rice and of course investing the money. I think Moyes played a blinder in that respect.

    c&bsky, it's Mubama ;)
    Sometimes it's Mubama sometimes it's Muamba, don't be so attached the arrangement of letters Bubbles if you know what they are pointing to.

    Great fun playing golf in the snow especially putting. The ball is the size of a football when it reaches the hole.

    Hopefully just that one ball might get Cornet some minutes in future games. Still don't get why he isn't utilised unless there is an underlining health condition etc.
    Baffling to me. I know he was wasteful quite often last season but he's always looked lively when he's come on and we could do with that sometimes. Considering he can play as a striker as well, it feels like there must be something wrong for him to not get minutes ahead of Ings. These days I just forget he plays for us.
