Noble slows the play down too much, he and Nolan are both too slow. Absent AC we will not improve with either in the side, same for Cole. You can pass all you like but until the main striker can hold it up and then pass to runners moving beyond him our system does not work. Play Valencia up top and you are looking at balls played in channels like the Spurs goal Saturday, maybe Zarate can do this,not really seen him play but no one else in our side does except once in a blue moon Nolan. Diame and Morrison tend to be too selfish and Noble wants two Moncur turns before the pass.
