MOTM between Colback and Cabella. Also loved the cameos from Perez and Aarons, both were full of energy and didn't respect the superstars on the other side.

Man Kanji, you used to be so good until you became the lite version of Ronny on the football section.

What were Janmaat, Williamson and our precious little Vurn doing in the first goal? Or Krul on the second goal? I love unnecessary finger pointing.

What do you expect from him on the second goal? Forced Aguero to his weaker foot on an angle where he should never score. Then Krul decides to give Aguero a second chance with a poor save.

Man. Just imagine.

Cabella is brilliant.

Coloccini was too low initially but Williamson should've noticed that Colo is tracking Dzeko's run and go goalside. Janmaat and Anita also seriously sleeping not following the runs from Silva and Jovetic.

Just saw a slow-mo of the goal. Why are neither Janmaat or Anita following Silva and Jovetic?

Wasn't too keen to see the lineup.

Dummett!?

Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa. He's been here quite long already, can't be that hard. Not only to HTT but all the others too who frequently spell his name wrong.

Competition between Haidara and Santon -> Dummett starts.

Can't find the stat for number of times ball is lost while pirouetting ? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWQ3YOMtJaM/UEsnJKgjdkI/AAAAAAAACo0/miO-N7XEaFA/s320/black-kid-oh-snap.gif

Would like too see similar picture posted comparing Tiote and Anita.

Surely he's made more than enough money already. If I was him at this point in his career I would rather go to some exotic country like Turkey than play in some shithole in the Championship.

He's not perfect but his presence and energy would be sorely missed. Also I don't think he does so many reckless tackles nor overly ambitious passes anymore. Losing the ball is the biggest problem, he's just over confident in the position he plays. We just simply look a worse team when he isn't playing.

Anita probably. He's brilliant at making us tick. Neat and tidy too.

Selling our best CM one week before the season starts for a few million would be absolutely brilliant.

Protecting the defence is hardly everything Tiote does. He gets significantly more touches and completed passes (with higher success rate) than Anita per game which makes the 'Anita keeps us ticking' in every post about him just ridiculous. Tiote is always available for the ball and never hides, we just simply look worse when he isn't playing. I like Anita but he has to be a lot more active and aggressive off the ball before he could realistically replace Tiote and personally I just can't see him being that type of player. Tiote obviously has his faults too and over confidence is IMO his biggest flaw. He can pull the tricks he does 9 times out of 10 but that one time often results in a dangerous chance for opposition. Just have to hope he is humble now after costing Ivory Coast one crucial goal in the WC.

:lol:

That's just so unfair. If I read it right the player didn't even play on the third game of his suspension, just wasn't registered. Then comes on for 4 minutes in the second leg when the tie has been over for couple of hours already.
