There's something about N'Zog that makes me think its all going to go a bit Curcic, like it has with Ireland. I can't quite put my finger on it. Don't get me wrong, he's a top player and he was decent yesterday in flashes, but i just have a gut feeling.

holy crap. He's been with us for 3 games without any pre-season and he's being compared to Curcic. Unbelievable. If he really wanted to be a wanker he'd have disappeared when Wigan needed him most. Instead he almost single handledly kept them up. He is a very good player indeed and prove to be with us in time.

I'm not comparing him to anyone, i'm just saying ive got a gut feeling he won't settle. Hopefully it won't be the case, as we sure as shit are going to need him at his best.

yeh, but Curcic was a complete and utter mental case. Bad analogy. You have to give him more than 3 games though.

NZogbia will be great once he gets going. Needs to be further up the field though for me, far too deep much of the time. Indeed, I would be tempted to get Albrighton right and move NZogbia behind Bent.

Zog was the only player who got me up off my seat yesterday.Rather see flashes of brilliance than turgid hot potato football.

I think Gabby looks a real threat on the wing. Both are fine to come central and attack the middle when the ball is on the opposite flank, but we’re not stretching sides enough with our width.

I think McLeish will see that and get them pulling ten yards further out than they are. It would also make us a lot more solid defensively too, by keeping a nice bit of shape to cover the full back.

Bannan looks promising I agree but to declare him as the clubs most talented player is simply ridiculous.
Ridiculous? so who is more talented? Maybe Ireland and that is it

England's No. 9 has proved to be quite a talent
