They are doing the same thing as us but can counter attack quite quickly on times, we don't have that.

So who do they have that can counter attack better than our players then?

Don't forget to take into account the goal we scored at Hull mind! :D

Away from home from what I have seen they have been very quick on counters with Aluko mainly picking up the ball and running at defenders. Huddlestone also dispatches the ball very quickly when there's a player on, always looking to push the ball forward when he can.

So by stating "From what I've seen," you mean you haven't seen very much then? :)

Dispatching the ball very quickly isn't the same as breaking quickly either and if all they've got with pace is Aluko, I can't see how that makes them a better counter attacking team!

I also said don't forget to take into account the goal we scored at Hull! :D

Our goal was very good, wish we would do it more.

And Dispatching the ball when they have players over on the wing with lots of space, I watched 3 of there games v Newcastle, Man City and the other one was a home game where they won 1-0.

I think Medel doesn't do what Huddlestone does enough, Medel usually has a lot of room on times to turn and play the ball forward but he doesn't notice he has the room where Huddlestone does.

Also Aluko does have a lot of pace which makes them good on counters.

Other than Aluko, I can't think of anybody they have on the wing, who are quicker than our options when they are all fit!

Aluko keeps possession better than Noone IMO, although I'm not sure that he's faster than him, but he's not better than Bellamy, who I hope Malky plays wide on the left on Sunday! :ayatollah:

Aluko is stand out well was for me in the Man City game, quite lucky to win 2-0 in that game. :ayatollah:
