Anyone think it's about time Nacer has a spell on the sidelines? I thought the whole team were excellent against Palace yesterday apart from Nacer Chadli who slowed down our play every time he got the ball and had the touch of a baby giraffe. This is not a pop at him because i can recognise the qualities he brings to the team in terms of his goals and last season he deserved his place but this season I can't think of 1 game where Chadli has been decent. He has been starting almost every game and I think it's time to drop him. Me personally I prefer pace down the side and Son is a perfect example of how you should play as a wing forward. He was direct and running at the palace defence giving them trouble all game. Chadli on the other hand due to his lack of pace tends to stop and cut in all the time which is so predictable and slows our play down so much. I think it's about time Chadders sits on the bench and we give someone else a chance. COYS!!!

Dier was a CB, yet turns out he is a pretty good DM too.............................................so my argument is that if necessary he could lead the line. However it is more likely that N'Jie will fill that role. In these modern times, lots of positions are interchangeable & even when Kane led the line did not stay rigidly to the middle did he?
I agree that Son at present is best on the wing & long may it continue!

Let's get this straight I never said he can't lead the line but Chadli is our best alternative to Kane for league games.
this doesn't mean others cannot do a job if needed

I think one positive we can take from this is that Chadli used to be a shoe in for his place. Now we have so many options to play in the attacking three that if you don't perform then someone will take your place.
Its a fantastic headache for Poch and his staff.

Or going on strike! However how would we know the difference between him doing something & being on strike??

IMO Chadli has been extremely lucky of late to be in the side at all.
He chips in with the odd goal and seems to totally blind people to the fact taht out of every 90 minutes he plays he is anonymous for 85 of them.
He is never a major threat to the opposing full back and he very rarely gives our full back behind him any protection at all. As those are his two primary tasks surely that says it all.
Lamela gets slaughtered on here (normally rightfully so btw) but at least he puts in a shift which is more than can be said for Chadli. Yes he has the occasional great game but IMO they are very occasional and for the majority of the time he is a passenger.
As for playing the lone striker, yes he has the physique for sure he even has the ability but IMO there is no way he works anywhere near hard enough to worry a premier defence it would be like a day off for them.
