Most of the crosses yesterday either went too high clearing everyone and even the whole penalty area, or didn't get off the ground and didn't clear the first man (looking at you, Haidara).

Also given Colback's ability to judge the flight of a ball, he will never be able to give us an overhead kick.

Was referring to this earlier. It really was unbelievable. He was all alone, unchallenged too

His heading is atrocious. Numerous times he jumps and it just flicks off the top of his head creating danger for everyone behind him. That's when he doesn't miss it completely and just jumps moronically arms flailing like he did in the second half The other choice is to avoid it all together, which we saw with the amount of balls that easily dropped to Watford players from the long balls around his area.

The first half was really bad, like.

I also saw him run all the way out for a goal kick.

Ugh, that post was a car crash. Words missing all over the place! Edited.

Unfortunate to have have to bring him up here. Thauvin didn't do too bad today but wasn't good either. He ran himself ragged though, which was nice. But days like today make you realise just how easy it was for Ben Arfa to find and make space for himself.

Fucking prick. I'm surprised no one has cracked his skull with an elbow yet with the amount of arm pulling he does. Complete fraud.

There's something mentally wrong with this lad. Can't have just lost all his ability so quickly. The guy can't even lift the ball off the ground.

Yeah, we all knkow

That would be fantastic. Would lift my mood hugely prior to kick off.

Obertan in good timing stepping forward shocker.

What a quote that is.

Speaking of bookings, the yellow card he picked up yesterday was very fitting to his cowardly, moronic performance. Alan Smith levels of "getting stuck in".

I don't really care where he plays. He just needs to be out on that grass. Can come in for Haidara if that's all McClaren can think of

Nah, Pardew would never have played Cisse, Wijnaldum and Thauvin all together. Still we need moaaar.

Yep. Three this year. http://i.imgur.com/nfzObkM.png That Carver run, man Phahaha, can still barely believe it.

Been waiting since the Arsenal debacle to see this guy be set free and play from the start and again he's benched and only comes when it's too late. Frustrating. No excuse to not start him on Saturday... If anyone can find an excuse McClaren seems like he can

His starting eleven against Watford will be interesting. Negativity from the start against the better sides is bad enough, but tonight and even more so at home against Watford just not acceptable.

Excellent. Only a matter of time before the Hatem treatment begins. We wouldn't have conceded had everyone just stayed back and he just twatted the ball into the crowd instead. Much safer. Much better put than I did. Incidentally, perfect username for such a comment.

Yeah, let's not start this again.

Nice change of pace for the second half. Horror show.
