When he plays or comes on as a substitute he almost always makes a difference, creates chances and worries the hell out of opposing defenders. So why does he play so rarely? In my view he is one of our stand out players so why use him as a fringe player? And what is the point of having Razak and Assulin on loan but not playing them? Razak is a powerful, offensive midfielder, destined, according to City fans, for great things in the Premiership. And yet Navarro and Dicker start ahead of him? Still delighted with how the season has panned out but I'll never understand Gus' tactics or thinking.

Not just your view, it's plain to see for anyone who knows anything about football he's the best and most dangerous left winger we have... He must have upset Gus somewhere along the line to have been left on the bench today whilst someone who can't cross and has very little end product gets on ahead of him... Either that or Gus totally lost the plot today.

It seems gus drops him after a great performance all the time,wasted talent that most managers would love in this league.

His our most in-form winger at present so a little puzzling.

Noone was the start of the show early season, Buckley took over that mantle half way through the season and most recently Lua Lua has shone.

Personally I would love us to play two wingers with Vicente just behind the front striker as this would suit are strengths.

I do agree. Reason? Gus has lost the plot.

Gus lost the plot before today's game. The starting line up was never going to work. No wingers= no service for CMS and Vokes

I would never be so bold - to question Gus that is.

What excuse will Gus give in his interview? Same old f***ing shit. He's to blame not the players.

The other thing to remember is how well Lua Lua seems to read Vicente and vice versa. Just don't understand why they're not given more time to build that relationship, because it has the potential to make opposition defenders look very stupid indeed, and with CMS picking up the scraps ...

Have to agree all round, all season ive wanted lua lua on the pitch much more, seems to me that gus constantly changes his mind, u do well one game youre in the next but its soon forgotten, too much tinkering, I think we need to look at the relative abilities of players, the talented ones need to play...all the time, we've created the second least chances of any team. I would have buckley, kaz and vicente plus holding midfielder all day

In hindsight,Lua Lua would have been a better option than Noone.Buckley was Ok.
Oh if only we could have more foresight before hindsight.

I will agree with that,will just add that from the Goal keeper up to mid field we are sound but the strikers are not good enough
