I'd keep Baker. As long as you don't play him and Clark together he looks a decent player. Did well at Newcastle and again yesterday.

El Ahmadi played well yesterday and has looked good in certain away games like Arsenal and Liverpool. I wouldn't sell him but I would bring some quality into the midfield in the summer so that he goes from guaranteed first team starter to useful squad player.

I'd be inclined to get rid of KEA regardless of your valid points above.  Sell him in the summer and we might get £2-3m for him (pretty much our money back) whereas if he stays another season I think he'll be approaching 30 and a lot harder to get rid of. 

This, of course, is on the assumption that CM is a position that we target in the summer transfer window which would push KEA down a spot (or two) in the pecking order.

I was thinking this while watching the game yesterday

replace Weimann , Gabby and KEA with better quality -    keep weimann and gabby in squad but not good to start for me

get another midfield in and Okore fit and we will start to have a decent team , Lambert there or not .

I'd agree with gabby and Weimann - squad players for me - we do need better quality in those positions.

I think Bertrand, two midfielders and at least one quality wideman would be my priority.

Add a couple of the youngsters to the squad and unload 6 or 7 of the current lot .

yes Im sure they will add Bertrand full time

having weimann and Gabby on bench will look better

but has starters they are not good enough .  Weimann might come back so on the bench is fine but both need replacing for better quality if Lambert is playing his system .

You've obviously got a real downer on Helenius: you've named him twice.

How a judgement can be made on him, considering he's only had a bout 40 minutes of first-team action, is beyond me.

so two midfield -  defensive and creative
left back - RBertrand
wideman
okore fit again

plenty of strikers for me still , depends on CB  staying of course

but you have CB , Kozak , Gabby , Weimann and Robinson . The no 10 signing or wideman type  could play off a striker too.

After taking his obligatory first half whack in the head, Baker played better than I've seen him for a while.

He started to clatter a few Norwich players whilst going in for headers and that gave him more space/time as the game progressed when they didn't fancy challenging him

Does anyone else think that Brad Guzan's performances have not been anywhere near as good as last season? I think we need a good goalkeeper in the summer to make Guzan's position less secure - it'll either bring out the best in him or see him replaced.

From what I've seen of Jed Steer I'm not overly impressed. But then, only a couple of cup games does not seem like a solid foundation to condemn someone on. Besides, in goalkeeping terms he is still rather young.

Well Given, Hutton and Bent will most likely be gone which will save a fortune in wages and allow us to bring in a couple.

As for others I'd let go Bowery, Fonz and depending whether we're allowed to keep Bertrand, I'd listen to offers for Bennett or send him out on loan.

I'd rather keep Bennett as back up than luna.
