It seems that the vast majority of us are relishing the Ric Shola show starting on Monday night against Palarse but can anyone see them acting as two individuals and it affecting the team in any way
Ric has been known not to pass to players in better positions, while Shola does have a tendency to try the outrageous on occasions
Thoughts please

Ricardo fuller will decide If we go up or not.
No two ways about it, Shola will just be his partner in crime.

We all know Pulis' loyalty to Mama. However, I dont think he can contemplate playing mama over ricardo or shola. I would find it bemusing to leave out shola when you consider we are paying around £125k for every game he plays plus his wages. We all know that Ricardo is our talisman and if available, he has to play. I can see Pulis starting with Mama and Ameobi and bring on Fuller, as he did with when we played Cardiff last season. Fuller had a devastating effect on that game. However, for me, he MUST start with Fuller and Ameobi.

theses two woould rip apart any defence in this league and alot of defences in the premiership.

Yes they would BEB. Pulis has to play them to maximise our threat. To have Bothroyd on the bench to come on too, our firepower suddenly looks dangerous. We are more than capable of winning our next 5 games. We have to release the shackles and play without a fear of failure

1) If Ricci's available(which he is) he plays simple, no question.
2) Mmm.. Pay hundreds of thousands of pounds (allegedly) for a Prem striker for 6 games and leave him in on the bench and play Mama. Not bloody likely.
It will be the Ricci & Shola show come Monday no doubt.
Regarding Ricci's passing, would you pass to Mama or try yourself? If a pass to LL is on he takes it so I reckon if he has confidence in Shola he will pass to him.

Yeah, it's nailed-on to be Fuller and Ameobi, and it sounds mouthwatering at this level. If we're supposedly paying about 800,000 for Shola (including wages) for 6 weeks, he's going to play every second he's fit, isn't he? And Fuller could fire us up single-handed if he's at his magical best. The Dream Ticket April-May 2008

The home form is particularly important. We need to go out like we did against WBA and blow teams away, If Ricci is up for the next 5 games, he could take us up.

i wonder if the football league will of made their mind up by monday, if not put boyroyd and gally on the bench, would be an attacking line up !!!

Play them in the starting line up and then listen to Pulis' defence after the match:
"Honestly Nige, we werent aware that we had 13 players on the pitch at one time. I just thought we were working aarrrddd"

I think it will be more of a case of the Ricci, Shola, Stephen and Liam show to be precise

Mama is actually a very useful sub
If your winning he's a good player to keep hold of the ball away from our goal & if we need a goal he will suit a 433. 433 is alien to TP but @ this stage of the season he may finish games that way.
Fuller & Shola should work well
Warnock will be worried & probably play very very deep
then its et piece time.
3.1 Stoke to kick start the run in.

if pearson carries on where he left off well be fine, the lad oozes quality, add that to the power of shola the pace of fuller and the finesse of lawrence, and its premiership all the way.

I don't think he'll play Sidibe. Ameobi has cost a lot of money and is a good player. This isn't a case of Parkin, Cresswell or Rooney - this is a player we know to be damn good, who we've shelled out for and who will fit into our play when Fuller plays.

So much depends on how these 2 gel. But even if they do take a little time to form a partnership, which is possible, we could still benefit because Shola should give Ric a bit more space.
How many times have you sen Fuller up front on his own with 2 or 3 defenders around him? Don't think teams will be able to do that anymore because of Big Shola (as TP already calls him). I would fancy Fuller against any defender on the run in, if he faces him up one on one and starts running at him!

i swear to God, if pulis starts sidibe ahead of a fit fuller or ameobi i will chin him the minute he sets foot out of the brit.
unless we've won of course ;D

Post by chrispk76 on Apr 1, 2008 23:07:25 GMT
just the thought of a team not being able to put 3 men on fuller is enough to make me think we will do it. in the past teams knew,stop fuller stop stoke. thats not the case with ameobi being here. for the first time this season we have 2 skillful goalscoring forwards, the defenders won't know who 2 concentrate on.

ive got an idea. i remember ages ago, a bit stupid really a linesman mistook pottermus for a stoke player and raised the flag. if we must play mama but him in the pottermus outfit and claim ignorance if we get caught hehehe.

Sidders
bob on mate IMHO
we have missed somene taking the pressure of Fuller and he has done most of the "striking" work alone with often 2 or 3 markers. Ameobi will give us another dimension and take the heat off Fuller. The Pearson and Lawrence can also give us attacking options.

Ricardo has also been known to single-handedly work an opening and then pass to a player with an open goal, who will sometimes score but usually miss.
