Great performance tonight, up and down the pitch with real quality. Can't help feeling N'Zonzi could do the same for us if the cage door was unlocked.

Just mentioned him in the game thread, he looks a real talent.

I'm not so sure Nzonzi wants to play in the last third
He's player of the year by a mile but a criticism I would have of him is that he wants to defer attacking reponsibilities to pretty much anyone else I dont want to go over-board on this point but Nzonzi is clearly capable of being top drawer box to box player not just the superb holding player he is at the moment.
TP could be replaced by Kev Keegan on acid (otherwise known as Johan Boskamp) & I still think Nzonzi would be looking to pass square when he's in the last 3rd.

Mulumbu is a superb player
His performance at the Brit was as good as any opposing player last season.
Wasn't he signed for something daft like 100k?

Good player & miles better than Whelan too .
That said, i think all the stats suggest he's a lot better still with his oppo - Yacob.
The combination makes it work.

Does Zombie have the pace to go box to box? I'm not sure he does to be honest. I reckon his best role is the one he is in currently. We need someone alongside him who can get forward a bit more too though... like a footballing version of Deano?
