RUDY

how critical is he going to be in the run in to the end of the season... he won just about every header yesterday, something 35mil carroll could not do!

i thought he was superb and hope to see us keep with this formation for the remainder of the season.

I agree about Rudy, he outplayes Carroll yesterday and he gave Skrtel and Agger a tough game.

He ran his heart out, competed for everything and I'm gutted he missed his pen (as I am with the others). I've just seen some of the footage on Sky Sports News and he was in tears at the end.

He's only a kid and I hope (with our support) he can get over the miss as we need him firing for the last 14 or so games

agree

This kid is only going to get better with game time. Unleash Rudy and Earnie, this will also give Kenny a breather

I'd keep Miller for West Ham but would begin to ease Earnie back in with a sub appearance or two. I reckon him and Gestede could be a quality big man little man combo but Miller does do too much all over the park to drop yet.

Thats an option id think malky should explore
I was in tears nearly at the end not because we didnt win but it was awful seeing rudy and ant gerrad in tears after missing their penalties,its a bad way to finish a game and i really hope they bounce back,rudy is such a genuine player who gives it is all every time and i know he adores the city faithful
