As much as I do agree with giving Ideye a chance, I struggle to come up with any logical
argument for him starting in front of Saido.
Saido has good touch, two footed, makes great runs.
To be honest, I have no idea why he was dropped. In his last game against Arsenal he hit the
bar and was unlucky not to be one on one when the linesman called him wrongly off side after
a great run arced run.
From what I've seen of Ideye so far he has little in the way of pace, the touch of a rapist and
nothing in the way of movement. When a decent cross came his way, he didn't even have the
strikers instinct to put his head on the ball and flung a wayward right foot at it.
The guy obviously has some pedigree, but he has to be introduced from the bench if starting
him means dropping Saido. It was no shock that Saido had a hand in the goal after coming on.
Can't help thinking that if he had started, we wouldn't look so impotent going forward. He certainly
wouldn't be scared to shoot with his left foot like Ideye was when he was put through in the
first half.
