who we most miss up front. Now we all know why Pulis sticks by the lad & if you didn't realise before you do after Satdee coz we missed the lad big time. I know he came on towards the end but he clearly was not fit & the game was already lost anyway.
We badly needed someone on Satdee to hold the ball up front so that others had time to join him instead of knocking balls over the top for Ade & Sarbs to chase. Ade did ok but IMO Sarbs was poor & our first choice front 2 should be Ade & Gifton with Sarbs as very good back-up.
I hope now the doubters will stop knocking Gifton as its been proved by our performances without him that he does do alot in our side.

From Saturdays performance there's no way Asaba should be in the team, though when Gifton's on his malibu day he shouldn't either. I think we have to start with Gifton and Ade on Saturday though!

I don't see how TP can possibly leave Gifton out when he is fit. With our present style of play it is essential that Gifton is there to hold the ball up until other players arrive.
If we had the midfield to deliver pin point through balls along the ground (as Petur did against ManU) for players like Asaba or Ade to run on to then Gifton might not be needed but at present he is.
I feel a bit sorry for Sarbs as our current playing style does not play to his strengths. I remember him saying in an interview shortly after he arrived that he liked to run at the defence with the ball - he gets very little chance to do so in this side.

It is blatantly clear that even when GNW has a stinker he still plays an invaluable role for the team. He’s the 2nd name on the sheet forme after Jonny Eustace
