Another goal from Nemeth tonight as the ressies go top of the league with a 4-0 win over Boro.

Its on tomorrow at 5 am Eastern time is that 9 or 10 over there?
Worth putting Nemeth on the bench, not sure how Chelsea are going to approach the game, although I would think it would be pretty strong, how much worse could he be than voronin or kuyt? at least he knows where the goal is and what the job of a STRIKER is.
Also, on further review, Duran is a holding midfielder, more in the Xabi ALonso style than the mascherano style, but that means he will probably compete more with plessis than Spearing. but today he came on for Leto so I am not sure where he was playing

Just watched the full 90 minutes of the Boro game, and saw a lot of positives. Granted, I am probably the opposite of a football scout, but I love what I see from Nemeth. I think a lot of strikers would love for someone to say about them, "all he does is score goals" they would say great, thats my job, and I must be doing it well enough for them to say thats all i do, but he is always getting involved and linking attacking from wide, getting in good positions AS WELL AS finishing. Should have had 2 in this one, but everybody misses a chance here and there. I know its to early but . . he NEEDS to play in the FA Cup tie, can't wait to see more from this kid. Also, I love this kid because he gets the BIGGEST SMile on his face every time he scores. Its like he got everything he could have asked for and more on Christmas everytime. After his first goal in his first game he looked back at Gary and gave him a thumbs up and a big smile.
Insua started slow, and had the ball taken off him rather easily a couple times in the begining, but he is constantly bombing forward playing nice one-twos, has a good left foot. Could still use some shoring up of his defensive skills and final attacking move decision making ability. Can see why he is not yet ready for Prime Time, but can also see that he is a keeper (and no not a goalkeeper)
Plessis does well in controlling the midfield, but too many stray passes for me, certainly a LOT of upside though.
Huth and San Jose, both big and solid at the back, I'd give the edge to Huth as an all around player
Darby is quality, but for me, I would think he would need 18 months or so of first team action elseswhere before giving him a legit shot and making the position his own.
Puterill lots of passion for the club, and has skill with BOTH feet ( a real problem for a lot of the team) but I would probably bet against him making it into the first team (I am guessing that is probably the case for most of the players if you play odds maker but the pay is only 2:1 on any player)
Crowther - new right winger from stockport county. got a rare chance because he normally sits so El Zhar or Puterill can play. Don't really rate the players ahead of him so needless to say I don't have high hopes for Ryan. But her did TRY very hard to impress, he just didn't. I think there was some double swoop package deal when we got him or something where we also brought in an U16 from Stockport as well, but I could be confusing him with somebody else
Jordy Brouwer - needs to go. He just doesnt cut it as a striker IMO. He is like a taller lankier Voronin, but with the worst finishing of any person claiming to be a striker. TO be fair, in the last couple of games he has had some nice touches that linked the play up. But IMO, he is just taking away chances for Lindfield, Pacheco, Bruna, Pourie, and Eccelston. Sounds a bit harsh, but I think it is true.
David Martin - Could use 18-24 months on loan as a consistent starter before he can replace Itandje.
Leto - I think he could benefit from spending the 2nd half of the season trying to keep a Scottish side up like Hammill did last year. It would really toughen him up and give him some consistent playing time
El Zhar - who either traveled to France or his hurt (can't remember which) is already 21 and been at the club for over a year, Pennant is hurt, and he still can't get a game. I have to question whether or not he has plateaued or not. Sadly, would probably also have to say that the odds are against him.

the Boro game e-season highlight package came out today, so I would think it would take a couple of days before someone puts it on youtube

Two players I would love to see are Jay Spearing and Krisztian Nemeth.
I'm reading alot of good reviews on them, maybe we will see them in the F.A cup?
