    If the whole squad was fit (aye i know), is there only Defoe that would/should be an automatic starter?


    Is it really that bolloxed.

    I did think PVA. But tried to block it out mentally that we only have one lb.

    PVA, Catts, Kirchoff and Defoe.
    At the moment I am tempted to say O'Shea as I want someone steady at the back to marshall the defence. Yes, its that bad.

    As Catts 2nd biggest fan i want to agree, but cant. Marcus will be along soon to teach me the error of my ways.

    Hoff isn't an automatic starter for me, not after the last game. Defoe and PVA, because we've got nobody else.

    Imo we stick with the back seven who started against Palace, simply because we have no alternatives who look any better, only JoS, Rodders and McNair are of similar standard to be even be considered, in midfield N'Dong is a must, up front we have Defoe and thats about it. Who gets the remaining two places depends on Moyes objectives and what formation he decides to play. None of those left out, bar the injured Vito, fill me with any hope at all that they are willing or able to produce the sort of performances required to get us away from the bottom three.

    No denying he is a class act. But for a professional player that cant last 90 mins is kinda disturbing.

    But is it training. Kichoff seems unable to last 90 mins full stop.

    He is superb, but faulters and blows out of his arse after time.

    Hoff is a crock. That's why he was so cheep. He'll need to be managed like Ledley King throughout his career and I wouldn't expect much more than 15 to 20 starts per season.
