Give JKA a start for gods sake MB. At least then you can show your critics why you do what you do!

Pretty much the way I feel.

I wonder if Karim Benzema is available.

I share everyone's frustration with Bamford's inability to finish, but I also trust in Bielsa's judgment. I'm sure he's just as frustrated as we are. He knows best what options are available to him and has weighed all these pros and cons and has decided Bamford is still the best option. He's decided that subbing Bamford causes more problems than it solves. I suppose we'll just have to trust him since we have precious little evidence on which to evaluate JKA.

Becchio use to play a similar role to Paddy, apart from his hold-up play & goals upfront Luciano always helped out his colleagues at set-pieces with his defensive headers.

Paddy frustrates me to hell in front of goal, I always have in my mind when he screws up that the likes of Wood, Beckford & Becchio who have played in the championship would have done so much better!
