I'd rather not have everyone get let down by the Ox, but that said he really needs more playing time to develop and he needs to get some in Janurary.
Gervinho should have had a penalty there, a good run and a good pass from Robin.
To be fair mate I dont think anybody expects the ox to be a regular starter but most of the time he aint even making the bench and when he does make the bench he rarely gets brought on As a young player wouldnt you expect to get some playing time as a reward/encouragement for good performances ? In contrast what kind of message is it sending the kid when he has continually sit behind feo and the forehead ?

Read my post again. I said he needs playing time, he needs to develop in the first time and getting stuck behind Walnutt and Arshitvin is pathetic. Considering we have Hnery back in the side, who better to work with him on the pitch? I'd love to see those two come on regularly and working together. The Ox needs to play soon.
I cannot understand how walnut always holds his place regardless of how shit he is the previous game Arshavin was poor but at least he set up the goal last sat whilst that other brainless dodo done fcuk all
If TH14 is coming to cover for Gerv while hes away its gotta be an improvement. Even an ageing TH14 woulda had at least 1 prob 2 by now from those Gerv chances.
Him, Arseshavin and Walnut all pretty useless with Arseshavin being by faaaarrr the worst of a bad bunch IMO.
Coquelin playing really well again, His first touch and how assure he looks on the ball are superb! look forward to seeing him fill Song's role this month.

Why...???? Is Song being dropped...??? Song isn't going to the ANC???
