In Saturday's 2-1 victory at Sunderland, Franco Zola and Carlton Cole were the goalscoring heroes, although Jimmy did set up the second and also had a goal disallowed for handball just moments after Franco drew us level. Eidur is currently sidelined with a heavy cold.

Claudio said, "I'm a lucky manager, because when you have these great players you can wait and sooner or later, they can score.

"This is very important for us. This season, we have scored a lot through midfielders and defenders. I think we have the second-best attack in the league, and this is important."

Despite having the second best attack in the league and the second best defence we find ourselves in fourth place in the Premiership- what gives?!?!?
