He has to play Benteke with Gabby next week or at least some combination with them working together on their days they give us the best mix of speed, power and goal threat.  Grealish of course would start too.  I would start Cole before I start ZOG he is one we can lose in the summer.

Would also like to see Vlaar dropped.  He has not been good enough this season and I think Clark and Okore have played pretty well together.

Only positive from today is we are now 4 years into the 5 (FIVE) year contract of N'Zogbia. This time next year he'll be gone.

Given too. For the best.
McLeish's two marquee signings in summer 2011 and we gave them them big, long contracts for non/barely-performing game time.

17th. Our worst ever premier league performance since it went down to 20 teams. Think that's deserved given the endless goal droughts and losing streaks we've had.

It's clear, we get any worse we get relegated. Sherwood's done well on the whole but the problem for me is some of these players can look good in 4-5 game spells but how many of them can hack it over a 38 game period.

I have to ask - did you watch the game today? Gabby was about as threatening as a fluffy guinea pig, and looked about as bright.

Bitterly disappointing performance. Only Westwood and Delph put in the required application. Bacuna was uniformly dreadful as was Agbonlahor,so nothing new there then!. Why he has frozen out Gil most of us would like to know. It doesn't make any sense at all.

Two weeks ago the media were fawning over our displays and a few on the forums thought we were going to beat Arsenal quite easily.

Maybe they were having a laugh.......they are not laughing now!

No I will watch the highlights later.  Fair enough and I have not been a big Gabby fan for awhile now, but on his day when in the mood he can still be a danger and I do think him and Benteke tend to work well together.

Thank God that's over. The final table is pretty depressing. Just three points and one place above relegated Hull and the worst goal difference in the league. Thank God Lambert went when he did. Any longer and we would have probably been doomed.

Let's just hope that after such a shit season we can at least go out with a bang next week. The form of the two teams doesn't inspire confidence though.

The same could be said about Benteke today, Monty. Both were very poor but then so was the service.

Gabby was rubbish today, I don't think he's in any condition to give Arsenal problems if he starts.

Think I'd go back to playing N'zogbia up there and have Gabby as a sub.

I expect Benteke, Delph, Grealish and Cleverley are nailed on for the final. Also Guzan if Given is injured.

None what-so-ever. I'd have Gil ahead of Sinclair every day of the week and both ahead of N'Zogbia everyday of the century.
