Your problem here is getting the ball back again.

 

Agreed. I want to see a fit and firing Tiote on that team sheet breaking up play and setting us on our way. Recover, retrieve, release...simples. Hopefully he can sort it out and get back to the player he was for us because last year he was pure carp!

 

It's a tough one. For me Mbiwa still has to prove that he has adjusted to the pace of the Premier League enough to be less error prone playing in the center. He may have done, but I'd like to see it before deciding he is going to be a starter in front of Taylor from the get go this season. It's great to have enough quality players to be having these discussions though!

 

He's looked better so far pre-season from what I've read. Keeping it simple and sticking to what he's best at - as he did in his first season here. He'll be a big player for us if he can keep it up when the real football starts.
