I think was basically Dave Mc's point on WLS. Burrell has been great, but in the long run we need to find a way of getting Kone firing, which would presumably be more likely playing in a traditional 9.
Given that Burrell is injured it's frustrating that we look sticking dogmatically to the same shape. Wasn't one of Stephan's reported traits being a pragmatic manager that plays according to the game and available players, or have I imagined that?
People talk a lot about consistency. I think Stephan's point about being able to repeat a solid defensive display away from home after west ham demonstrating an improvement in that respect is a fair one.
Ha! That would make for some sensational opinion pieces.

I saw a story recently about the rise in church attendance amongst young people. There do seem to be far more footballers performing these kind of on field practices these days.
Re visuals, yes my experience is that LSD is more visual than mushrooms.
Last time I took mushrooms was last summer. I was meeting someone that id been meeting online for about year, discussing a business venture. He's made his money in a previous venture, lives in a big old house, and had invited me and my wife round for a BBQ. I turned up, and immediately he gave me a handful of mushrooms. Ok then.
Problem was they kicked in just as we sat down to eat - and to my surprise his five kids and assorted grandchildren turned up. Not what I had anticipated .
Whilst this is going on, he decided it was the moment to really get down to business. As i was looking at him, with the sun behind him giving a weird blue hue to his face, he turned in to a smurf - but a smurf talking at me about AI in very intense way.
I had to excuse myself to go and take a moment in the toilet. Talk about set and setting.
My old username - fishdrivingcars - was taken from his sketch about being pulled over whilst tripping.

I went through a deeply obsessive Bill Hicks stage in my 20s. Absolutely idolised him! I must have watched the Sane Man videos on the old Sacred Cow website thousands of times. The Dominion Theatre recording that was popular is good, but those smaller gigs when he was younger and more combatant are the real shit.
I'd like to see Bennie given a go up front - where those that have seen him in the DS say he's looked good - if / when Kolli needs to come off.
So, Morgan move in to replace him at RM... wait, that leaves an empty RB space... Dunne moves to RB?... Edwards in at CB?
It's like a rubrics cube this.
Edit. I do like the idea of the board going up and it being a substitution of Edwards on for Kolli though, should get the natives scratching their heads.
I've taking a fair variety of substances, and totally agree that some are much easier to make a case for (psychedelics) than others (coke, alcohol).
Totally agree about how life changing psychedelics can be. I've taken LSD three times, and all three occasions made powerful impressions on me. The first time, I found myself laughing at myself for how cliched it was that I was absolutely fascinated by the intricacies of a flower growing by the road outside my front door - flower power indeed.
I remember reading about how Bill Hicks and his friends made a yearly pilgrimage to a farm one of them owned, where they would spend the weekend taking mushrooms. They would fast before hand, then spend a day meditating etc - treating it as a sacred event. Seems like the right approach to me - not as something trivial and recreational.
On the clinical application, there is definitely growing recognition of the potential. I was following it quite closely for a while. I think there are still significant barriers, especially in the US, but psychedelic-assisted therapy is definitely coming. A friend of mine is a clinical psychologist, and is a big advocate. He makes the point though that the evidence shows that psychedelic-assisted therapy is a shorter process than traditional therapy and traditional psychopharmacology - and so likely to face resistance from e.g. the pharmaceutical companies.
The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman describes the research he did in to DMT - and how he managed to get it past the regulatory barriers at time. It's fascinating stuff - and really leaves you hoping further research can be done.
On DMT - if you've got 18 minutes to spare I just love this comedy sketch. Stick with it until the end if you have time, it's got an amazing pay off!
