I work them hard George. There are no passengers.
Yes, but that was Di Canio's ethos at Sunderland, and look what happened to him!

Anyone got any sharp razor blades. I could have picked a better team by closing my eyes and randomly screaming names at the team list. Giroud my captain failed to score/assist in a 3-1 win. My top scorer was the Southampton goalkeeper. My midfield are useless. Strikers just as bad. Anyone with Man Utd players left after that display are in trouble. I have two! I have picked up another two injuries. Lowest points score of the week. Other than that...great!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel your pain.
Actually, what I find astounding and head-spinning is the way things change so quickly and dramatically, particularly with players at the big teams who have an embarrassment of riches at their disposal.
In the course of only 5 games, we've had Rooney out-in-the-cold with RVP as golden boy, and now suddenly Rooney looks like a good investment. While at City, it looked like Dzeko was the man and about to have his best season, with Aguero looking out of sorts, and now that's totally reversed after yesterday's game.
So although (semi-contradicting myself here) it feels as if things have settled down now and you can get a reasonably clear picture of how the season will shape up, and who the top performers will be, we may need to wait another 5 games or longer - or maybe it will fluctuate madly all season?
