This should be in our profiles, isn't it not?

Actually my answe would be the eleven who started on Saturday plus Tekers if he gets his s*** together.

Obvious choice would be Zaha but everyone will put that

But I put Milivojevic. There's just this "Thou shall not pass" about him, he breaks up so much opposition forward play and turns the ball round for us. He and Sakho (and Cabaye) have moved us away from the mentality of hoofing it towards winning the ball and looking for Townsend or Zaha with a pass now.

Andros Townsend - when he picks up the ball and starts one of his runs you can never be sure how far he will go or where it will end - exciting stuff!

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Agree the guy gives everything every game

I'd like to go Milivojevic, but I haven't worked out how to spell it yet.

Or say it.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

My mistake, I misquoted the source I actually meant, which is Tolkein, The Lord of the Rings, book I: The Mines of Moria. I am of course thinking of Gandalf standing against the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.

The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm.
'You cannot pass,' he said. The Orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.'
The Balrog made no answer. The fire in it seemed to die, but the darkness grew. It stepped forward slowly on the bridge, and suddenly it drew himself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall; but still Gandalf could be seen, glimmering in the gloom; he seemed small, and altogether alone: grey and bent, like a wizened tree before the onset of a storm.
From out of the shadow a red sword leaped flaming.
Glamdring glittered white in answer.
There was a ringing clash and a stab of white fire..."
