does everyone think kone's been bad then? okay, sticking to first impressions i see. if we took him off for someone else we'd struggle to create anything. must have forgot where he set up the goal?

He's got the right kind of game to complement Lukaku, running off the ball etc. Needs to show more quality, but he's had a very long layoff, I've not given up hope for him yet.

Kone is playing OK. Doing a job of holding and passing. At least with 2 up front we can hold more effectively and also allow our main threat of Lukaku more space and more opportunity. Leaves us a little light in midfield so we tend to concede space and time.

no he's not. he's been great. when will people lay off him, his hold up, one touch lay offs and running into space os the reason we've been so good on the break. couple of mistakes yes, but he's started/kept a lot of attacks going.

I'm not slating him that bad, i just said he was the weak link. People are calling for Barkley to come on for Kone. Some of Kone's passing is off, especially the shorter passes.
 
I think it would be kinder to say that Kone is capable of much more than he has showed.
Probably still fitting into the team. Promising and needs a good run.
 

I've checked the run ins of Hull, Burnley and QPR - Leicester are already finished in my book - I'm starting to calm down a bit (with a little help from my friend Mr Beam - not a typo).

yeah he gave the ball away a couple of times, i see that. but barkley aint a striker and naismith isn't the same type of player. any replacement would see us different in attack and i think that would be a bad thing.
