Our biggest problem as a team, is the link up between defence and the striker/s and that is exactly why we only have 1 or 2 shots on goal a game. We defend pretty well, but then give the opposition the ball back a third of the way up the pitch, simple because we don't have anyone playing there who knows what forward means. However Morrison is a fans favourite because as well as being a good player. he leaves it all on the field and always gives 100%, where Chadli does what he thinks is enough to get through, if only you could mix the two!!
Combine the 2 and we'd end up with the one with less attacking ability who doesn't work hard enough.

My take on the debate is that Jimmy is worth his place in the squad but isn't consistently good enough to play the no 10 role as a starter, certainly against the teams we should be looking to beat. I'd prefer to see either Chadli, Phillips, Rodriguez or Burke in that role but that would probably be a bit too attacking for our current leader.
