Without doubt N'Zogbia has upped his game and has been a very useful link man in the team. However, to be a permanent feature he now needs to add some assists and/or goals to his game. could you imagine the attacking force we'd be if as well as Delph, Cleverley, and Grealish scoring and/or setting up goals they had N'Zog to worry about also? I thought he was going to score in the 2nd half against West Ham when he did a very Messi-esque hot foot shuffle to beat two and from a narrower angle tried to beat the keeper near post. If he can now up his contribution a notch we will be a team that no-one will like playing.

Well we all know he's got goals and assists in his licker from his time at Newcastle and Wigan so no reason why he can't rediscover that part of his game under Sherwood. I'd say he's one of those confidence players and, like the majority of the squad, that was drained out of him over the last few years so hopefully he will grow in confidence with the team and we'll start to see him contribute more in these areas.

At least he now puts a shift in. 25 games, no goals and two assists this season, we're really lucky to have him.

As well as all the other areas that we have to look at in the summer should we stay up I think N'Zogbia has 3 games to convince Sherwood he's good enough. That could be good for us but only if he really does have the ability to do it.

Exactly. I still really don't see it with him. He's created space with a few runs every now and then but apart from that i think we can do much better.

For me his biggest faults are, that he tends to make wrong decisions when having the ball. Also very often slows up play, running into trouble while we push squad up, getting succerpunched on the counter.

Needs to improve much more before I start liking him. (if Cleverly can, so can he)

You're right, that is his biggest fault. It's some of the worst decision making I've seen.

That floral outfit is the worst decision making I've seen in a long time.

Off to Baniyas in the UAE on a free according to Sky Sports & a few papers.  Waste of oxygen.

If true then, quick, lock and bolt all the doors.

Hopefully it means we don't have to pay a penny on the remaining year of his contract.
