Sorry to remind you of this, but I thought one of the Wet Spam goals reminded me of Solomon's winner against you for Fulham at the Amex last season. Two quick passes from the heart of our defence and he was outpacing your right back with Dunk playing him onside. Judging by Saturday's first goal (& almost right at the end) against Arsenal, we'll be deploying the same tactics this year against teams who can be expected to have more possession.

Which is not to say we don't need some fresher smarter legs at the back. We do
