How come we can't fire our shite players like Williamson, Taylor, Gouffran or Obertan.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hatem-ben-arfa-claims-newcastle-10421283# Honestly can't believe we let him go and replaced him with gash like Cabella and Thauvin.

Looking at our line up of games, I can't see us getting many points for a while. Can't see us getting anything from Leicester, Palace, Scousers or Spurs. Villa is a huge 6 pointer. Then we have a very tough Xmas and January.

I'd give him 45 minutes at the weekend for Tiote. Hopefully we can go 1 or 2 up in the first half then bring him on to finish Bournemouth off.

We keep saying this. Bournemouth is a must win, no doubt. Yeah, if we cant beat Bournemouth then we wont win an away game this season. They aren't very good and ravaged by injuries. An injury to Vardy next week would be awesome.

Need 7 points from the next 3 games.

He can't keep this up. Him and Mahrez destroying the league.

Wasn't Luuk on the wing for the most part? Siem needs a full game as a number 10, can't see that ever happening though.

I'd bet Thauvin doesn't score a Premiership goal this season.

Steady on. Both played out of position to be fair.

At least Cabella scored and created chances in games, I cant see this lad doing that.

He doesn't fit into our team, might as well sell him and build a team based on the 4-4-2 we are playing.

Would have won if Colback played. Really missed him today.

Butland was too good today. On another day we take 3 points.

Is there a website that rates referees, or says how many wrong decisions influenced a game? Would be interested to see Robert Madleys.

Ok he's on par with Vurnon. Either way neither are good enough.

As shit as Colback is, he is our best centre mid. That's the sad truth of the situation.

Actually I'd take Cattermole over Colback. Purely for the derby, the rest of the year they are just as shit as each other.

I'd only have Pantimillion, and Mvila in place of Colback in my team. I'd maybe take O'Shea over Colo but thats just one is more past it than the other.

No really bothered if he does. I've written him off, not because he's been shit here, but the fact he's had one good season in his career.

I'm in a similar boat and put Pelle on the bench.

Agree but Gini shouldn't be a replacement for Colback as others have initiated. I think we need to prioritise bringing in another DCM in January as Colback, Anita and Tiote aren't good enough. On the latest evidence definitely not. We've only seen 9 games from the lads so we are learning more and more about him. Playing him as a replacement for Colback seemed like a good idea a month or so a go, now it's looking like someone with a bit of ability on the ball as well as a solid physical presence is needed with Gini coming in off the left with a bit of freedom.

The system we played yesterday really suits him, I just think we need someone a lot better than Colback in there so we dont get exposed.

Hoping for a 0-0 tonight. Super Geoff Cameron and Fabianksi to play.

Yep, people are jumping on Dummet a bit too quickly here. Let him get his fitness levels and match practice back.
