Before the Villa match the manager has drawn attention especially to the midfield area. He has acknowledged the form of Sissoko and Anita in the last couple of matches but with Cabye and Tiote now available who will he pick?
Our fans wanted a marquee signing, probably, and I think that is what we were looking at. Somebody who would really threaten the first team but we couldn’t get it over the line.
It would be lovely to think that the team can pick up seamlessly from that closing period of the Fulham match and from the kick-off take the match to Villa with pace and an ambitious formation, to do so Yohan Cabaye is a key component.
