    No he's not.

    He's just working his way into getting a reputation here. No-one is truly underating him, if anything people are overating him after a month and a bit's good form.

    There is but I still don't think whether someone is a loanee or not should make any difference at all when picking a team.

    All the attributes you said for griffiths are what I would want I'm my striker there's plenty of the top footballers in the world who get by with them just fine. Theo Walcott, Michael Owen to name two. I don't know why people have the logic that guidetti will be the better man against inter because of better movment and intelligence, italian defences are best attacked with pace.

    What's the point in Guidetti been more intelligent than Griffiths. Surely if intelligence was a requirement Beckham would never have got on to a football pitch .
    Whether we start with Griffiths or Guidetti , I think the only question is who is likely to work the Inter defence most and more important score . I think Griffiths should get the nod over Guidetti , simply because at this stage he carries a greater goal threat .

    PaddyBhoy who is the we ? When you say intelligence you don't mean IQ

    Forgive me but how does intelligence of any type overcome the lack of scoring goals by Guidetti who hasn't scored in over 600 minutes , compared to Griffiths who is currently scoring in every game he starts .

    Thought he was * but still managed to have a massive impact on the game, definitely growing on me and I still prefer him to Guidetti.

    He'd probably have got a hat-trick if he stayed on with the counters we had.

    Definitely. He's clearly our most clinical striker. Im glad he got his one goal though.

    Managing him well considering the number of games we have. I think Guidette will start on Wednesday although * knows why after his shocking performance today.

    Penalty well taken.

    Would have loved to see him finish the game. he would have been perfect against the tired and disillusioned Aberdeen towards the end.

    Had no doubt he would put that penalty away.

    Thought he was poor today but took the penalty very well.

    I agree, wasted a lot of good positions through poor decision making. Still, his energy and pace stretched the sheep's defence to no end.

    Really doesn't get the credit he deserves here.

    I actually thought it was the wrong time to bring him off. The game was opening up at that time and his pace in behind would have terrorised the sheep.

    Funnily enough Guidetti might have been better suited to the first half as it was more rough and tumble, in your face with Aberdeen closing us down and not giving us a lot of space or time.
