M'bia

[QPR Richard]

Anyone else think he would be great as part of a midfield trio of Faurlin and Granero?

[essex]

No, diakite has that place

[Rebel R's]

No, diakite has that place

When he's not injured or suspended

[W12_Ranger]

Like to see him replace Faurlin

[Factamondo]

like to see him out those gold boots!

They looked quite impressive during the 1st half of the Spurs game.

I have not seen enough of Mbia to suggest he is a better player than either Faurlin or Granero. He is a defensive midfielder and could perhaps be a better option than Diakite (who can be great if he stops his ludicrous lunging into so many tackles).

If Ferdinand or Bosingwa are fit for tomorrow, I would move Mbia into the midfield slot behind Granero and Faurlin.

Faurlin is a class act, who has just been out for 9 months and will obvously not be at his best just yet.
He also needs to be complimented with the right players around him. Nothing wrong with hm and Granero playing together some strenth and muscle around them

In a word no !! stupid to interfere with the best part of our team the fwds dont offer much of a threat the defenders arn't defending , if we take the view of the op we might as well just hand the points over and not bother playing

[Will M]

M'Bia is starting up front for us at the weekend.

[loftlag]

Yeah that'l be about right Will, at the back last week upfront this week m/field next ,DJ goes to ooo arrgh and scores 10 by january

We need Faurlin and Granero both in the side because they're two plays who are comfortable on the ball and they can both pass it about. It's Park who needs to be dropped. He's been in awful form this season, but to be fair to him, he's more of a central midfielder these days rather than a winger. Hopefully when everyone is fit, our starting line-up will be this:

---------Julio Cesar-------------
Bosingwa, Ferdinand, M'Bia, Fabio
---Granero, Diakite, Faurlin---
Hoilett-----------------Taarabt
-----------Zamora-------------

I do find it strange that so many on this thread seem to think Faurlin has suddenly become crap? Didn't seem so long ago we were all raving about his performance against Spuds?
Thought Diakite was banned for tomorrow. Would pick team as Taarabt7 above but with Mbia instead of Diakite and Hill instead at centre half (don't believe i just said that). Maybe Ehmer instead then. What you think?

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Forget Spurs game. Since then scouts from both Reading & West Ham have clocked that if you get physical with our two cm's they don't like it & it effects our whole game. No coincidence last 2 games we've been mullered in the central midfield position.

[swindonhoop]

Maybe someone like Mbia in there with them would be a good thing then?
