Topic: Danny Guthrie

[Fugazi]

Thought he was older than 24 like, and I didn't realise that he'd played so few matches in his career before he joined us.

The thing I like about Guthrie is the fact he always wanting the ball, he's always available to take the ball and move it forward. He spreads the ball around and is always an option for another player and as a teammate, that's what you want to see.

Takes the pressure off you and lets you pass and move too. Thumbs up today

There were a couple of times where he had found space and was screaming at Krul to give him the ball only for Krul to kick it upfield.  Good to see his growing confidence as he has always struck me as not being very vocal before.

Playing catch-up in terms of playing time like so many big club rejects.

Wonder if neesy still hates him for the COMPLETELY UNPROVOKED ATTACK on his mate.

had forgotten about that like.

Did Neesy's mate respond or did Guthrie just fake injury anyway because he made a mistake? Pea hearted kernt.

Hopefully the lad will sign a new contract.

Though there is that dilemma on what to do when Cabaye and Tiote are back. It would be really harsh to drop Guthrie but I honestly think Cabaye and Tiote are better players. However, I really think Guthrie can do a job in a midfield 3. It's not outside the realms of possibility.

It's called having a squad though isn't it mate, it's daft how much people on here panic when we've got more than one decent player for each position.

Indeed, it is great for squad depth that we have a player who is more than capable of doing a job when the first choice player is out. However, will Guthrie be happy being second fiddle to Tiote and Cabaye? He might want more regular football elsewhere (which is understandable) so like I've said, hope he signs a new contract.

[Tiresias]

its nice to have a squad that one can cycle round depending on form and tactics, sick of feeling we are always one injury away from disaster. Sadly our cup failures mean once cabaye and tiote are back opportunities may be limited. i'd like to see cabaye pushed forward ahead of guthrie and tiote once as a central playmaker.

We've seen already that Tiote and Cabaye aren't going to be fit / not suspended at the same time for much of the time, and that's just accounting for when we play 4-4-2 tbh.  Guthrie will get in the side when he's playing this sort of football most of the time and Pardew will tell him so if he's not daft.

Fair points and Tiote will presumably be off to the ACoN again next year so yeah, I guess Guthrie will continue to get opportunities.

[SimplyAnth]

Think he's looked a better than Cabaye in patches this season, if he plays like he did today I certainly wouldn't object to him starting alongside Tiote.

4-3-1-2, Ben Arfa roaming to help out where needed.

FYP.

[Consortium of one]

Very tidy on the ball and looks to be playing with a lot of confidence.  He'll get plenty of time to play, especially next year when we're playing in Europe.

Superb again yesterday. A very good midfield player both defensively and creatively.

To be fair that is just shoehorning our best XI available players into a starting XI - no harm in dreaming!

Do go on......

[The College Dropout]

He flagged badly towards the end like, he was watching their midfielders run by him regularly. Good game overall though.

Yeah we was getting over ran towards the end. For the chance one of there subs he, he passed the ball in front of Guthrie and ran way beyond Danny. Danny could barely turnaround. A mixture of a lack of defensive nous and the ongoing stamina issue. You never get that with Yohan.

Danny's certainly a better attacking option but his lack of stamina is an issue. Will never be a real athlete but I hope he can improve in this area.

[The College Dropout]

BBC: 'Some times you just have to find the right club' after they'd made him sound like some kind of journey man. He's been here nearly four years .

FFS.  He was at Liverpool before us and had a couple of loans.

I'm really glad he's playing as he is.  I did find it quite strange how last season was such a non-event for him, he'd been such a pivotal player in the promotion season and I wasn't with these people who said he wasn't a Premier League player.

It looked like the Premiership was too fast, strong and athletic for him. Whereas you do get more time and space in the Championship. Danny has excellent technical ability, especially for a British midfielder. And this season he's worked on his conditioning and has shown for more desire for the game.
