Does anyone else think CHO should play through the middle more often? He looked lethal pushing at the defence when given the opportunity driving more centrally? Would also give him more opportunity to score in both corners.

Possibly, but i noticed yesterday that he went to his left i. e. the byline and put in a superb cross which jesus almost scored from, if he did that more often defenders would have to stop standing on his right foot expecting him to cut inside and shoot.

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

He looked a lot happier there. I have a question for you fellow posters, do you think we would be in our present prodicement if we weren't in Europe?. I believe we wouldn't, and the facts do show this would be true. It was well documented on this site at the beginning of last season that mid table was a good target. well we punched above our weight and look what we got. A large influex of new players, at an enormous cost, and I think has unbalanced our tight knit squad.
then you have the two tier squads (uefa rules) those players who didn't make the euro squad must have been well p. ed off. Things like that divide players. Nuno wouldn't have left and we would be sitting in or around mid table now. i think we were two seasons early for Europe, it will be interesting to see how Bournemouth fare if they qualify next season. Personally I don't think we will be relegated but we must keep Anderson until the end of the season. keep the faith.

Red Vale the foreshadowing of a team like Villa who tried to compete to soon with the "chosen ones", like ourselves are now finding it tough trying to keep so many balls in the air at the same time ??.

Oakham, Mossy, Vale and Syd et al these are all excellent and perceptive posts. CHO looked good in a flexible role. The skill is to read the game and decide when to do something different ( and make sure you are not leaving a gap behind you)
