You can't of seen much of the Middlesbrough game, him playing was a waste of development time for Kirby, Williams etc. As for Sorearse how many strikers are 6ft4? ish and not an aerial threat?

Square pegs, round holes: it's the Hodgson way.

Go to division 1, go directly to division 1, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

Vive le Roy!

If you look at Meyer's misses he is not a " pass it into the net " guy. He puts his laces though everything but also not afraid to attempt difficult shots when no other option, going for areas of goal where keeper will have no chance when he is on target. Am quietly confident his goals will come and will be praised as technically difficult when they do

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

A lot of people are quick to forget that Jason Puncheon is actually a very decent football player.

He almost single handedly gave us a goal threat in our first season or two, was it? And he went through a band patch, yes. But I'm not convinced he's a spent force.

For me, he's a smarter player than Townsend. Townsend is physically fitter and faster, admittedly. But I think we need a stronger bench too...so I'd like to see us starting with Punch...with Townsend coming on for impact. Plus, you know, he's one of our own...which it feels like we need right now.

With the greatest of respect, I don't share the same view of Puncheon as you do but HOL would be rather tedious if we all agreed with one another as part of a gargantuan 'Love-in'.

Puncheon has played a postive part in our team in the past,but game on game he was abject leading up to his injury and I have little faith that he can now make a positive contribution in the PL.He is now 32, in the twilight of his career and it will speak volumes about our strength in depth if he is chosen to start.Perhaps he could do a job for a team in the Championship and that maybe this is where he will head in January.
