both. When he decides to run he is very slow off the mark. When he is already moves and just has that burst ahead of him, he seems to hit top speed quickly.

As someone on the match thread pointed out, its ala usain bolt, his height makes him slow to take off but longer strides means he gains pace.

he's a paradox

Fair enough.

I hope we give him and Williams a start tomorrow to get up to full fitness.

aye be nice to see them start. a team of ross, davies, lennon, cleverley, bolasie and the best young striker we have would be a good game to watch.

that or stick naisse in for a laugh. Niasse kone partnership.

I dont think he starts slow at all personally if he did he wouldn't be able to do that thing where he stops the ball and then quickly sprints past the full back.

I think he just decides when and when not to Sprint.

RK said 1, 2 or max 3 changes as he wants to win it.

I hope he rests the wingers if anybody. If we need to rotate anyone, it would be Geri and Mirallas because they are injury prone.

Yes Bolasie and Lennon for them. Either Jags or Barry for the breather?

Barry is probably the most durable player on our team, so I would have to go with Jags. Barry is a tank.

I'd rest Jagielka, Barkley and Gueye.

Williams, Cleverley and McCarthy in.

I feel like we could field a whole second team and still win this game honestly. We have brought in a lot of depth and it makes decisions like these difficult if he limits himself to 3 changes.

We'll have dozens of wingers by the time the window closes...we're collecting wingers like Spurs used to collect midfielders...the plan is to buy up all the wingers so that nobody else has one !!

I think even without the cup, with the addition of Bolaise its already a foregone conclusion that the wingers will be rotated. There are only 2 wing spots, and 3 of Mirallas, Geri, and Bolaise, so cup or no cup we already have a lot more flexibility in who we play and rest without giving up ability.

£30m on a palace player, still crying that one in.

Probably the goofiest 30 mil signing I've ever seen. AT LEAST he doesn't look like Niasse 2.0 which was my worst fear.

Yes, play really narrow against everyone because we've got all the wingers. Then when we get the ball, CHAAARRGE down the pitch!
