N'Zogbia was bought by TSM, and it still surprises me that he didn't know how to get the best out of him. His best position or how he could be most effective. Lambert has found that, and along with other factors and Benteke being one them he is now having his most consistent spell for us. We all know what he can do, we haven't seen it enough. If what we are seeing is the arrival of N'Zogbia then he will do his part in trying to keep us up. We just have to hope those behind do their part.I doubt Lambert still knows his best eleven let alone N'Zog's most effective position in that eleven. That's not really a slight at Lambert 'cos I don't know our best eleven either but I've known for some time that N'Zog is more effective playing just behind the front one or two. I think he's very close on a few players, but doesn't have the overall quality in the squad to account for the numerous errors we make. I think a few players are cemented like in goal, Lowton, Vlaar, Westwood, N'Zogbia and Benteke. You put the right pieces around them, a strong CB, a solid CM, a much better LB as examples, all of a sudden we are that much better. N'Zogbia is being given a lot more freedom to play out wide, or in the middle and he's developing a better mentality overall because of it.

As to his best position, he's a striker, but he reminds me of Wayne Rooney (bear with me) in the way that you can put him anywhere in front of the defenders and while he might not be particularly effective you can be sure that he'll work his bollocks off
It's amazing to think that a forward line of (a mix of) Benteke, Gabby, Nzogbia and Weimann is embroiled in a relegation battle. Not to mention Bent coming off the bench.
Not many teams in our position are literally two players away from rocketing up the league. It's frustrating but what we do have is good enough to survive this season and press on.
Bizarre, isn't it?
We're two players short of being a very good side - an authoritative MF and a commanding CB.
