Bolton Wanderers striker Nicolas Anelka has had a pop at new manager Sam Allardyce's tactics.
Anelka, labelled the Incredible Sulk for his constant whingeing, has yet to lose with his fourth English club as Bolton have climbed to third in the Premiership.
But despite claiming he has matured at 27, the former Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City forward still could not resist a moan about Allardyce's no-nonsense tactics - and his deployment as a sole striker.
"I have started to re-find the rhythm of the English league which I know by heart and I love," he said. "I am playing alone up front which is not what I prefer. Our game is based on 'kick and rush' so I don't get the ball much.
"At the start, I was supposed to play with Kevin Davies. But the team is winning. We annoy other sides and, if we don't score much, we concede even fewer goals. We press a lot, so as far as fitness is concerned I am at 100 per cent."

France striker Nicolas Anelka has branded Bolton's style of play as "kick and rush" after five games with his latest club. (Daily Mirror)
5 matches already start lol might seen him out in by start of next season because when u dislike the playstyle of the team you can't possibly stay long
stevenliew
wtf!?........Why join anyway.......he leave by next season
dragg
he is using bolton as a stepping stone.
he should know beforehand that bolton's style of play does not suit him at all.
he is probably hoping the last glamorous clubs in the premiership will sign him.

Maybe it was a mistake that he was not born mute. If he were mute, then no one would ever label him a whiner.
dragg
he is like bellamy, always kpkb.
stevenliew
let him be goal keeper don kpkb so much
stellazio
players nowadays don't understand that you play to the team, not the team play for you.
perhaps only barca,man utd and arsenal style of play will be suited for him. but i dun think he's got any chance to go there, so he should just keep quiet.
