I guess I hate RVP more nowadays. Can't separate them abilitywise. Would prefer a 'who was/is a bigger c***?' based on the first two players.

NWOAT

Santon was marking Giroud? Really? Looked like it to me. Of course you can blame it on Colo if you want as he's s**** player/captain. Nobody said he was a s**** player, but nice try. f***ing ridiculous if Santon was marking Giroud, by the way. Beyond a joke. Not exactly those words but you had written him off few weeks ago. He's been decent lately considering we couldn't afford to play him against most strikers in the league.

By limited footballer I mean he's not a great passer like Cabaye, not able to drive forwards like Sissoko, not a goal threat like Gouffran. I'm not saying he's bad as a destroyer, just that I'd like a bit more when he gets the ball. He constantly has the most passes completed from our midfield, he's far from being just a destroyer.

I disagree that Tiote is a limited footballer. There's absolutely no way we can sacrifice Tiote. Anita is nice but he can't do what Tiote does, he's too passive. Sissoko would be fine physically but I don't think he's good enough passer.

Both teams struggled to create and it could've gone either way. We played a decent game and draw really would have been a fair result.

So now HBA cost us the game?

Sources are claiming it was Santon, Willo or Colo. I'm in the Santon camp.

It's actually very harsh on Krul. His positioning was off, he saves it if he's staying at his line. Got caught on no man's land.

Santon was marking Giroud? Really? Looked like it to me. Of course you can blame it on Colo if you want as he's shite player/captain.

Must be the hair. :lol:

Until that freekick Have to see it again but to me it looked like Santon was supposed to be marking Giroud.

Him and Willo were brilliant again.

I'm too long in the tooth to be a 'fanboy' or a 'hater'... Just happy to say it as I see it despite the inevitable backlash for criticising the uncriticisable! He wasn't good today but to criticise his first half against Stoke is just ridiculous.

Let's get this straight. Never sad he was 'terrible' today - I said he should not start every game as most on here think. And you need to watch the Stoke game again - we was one of the most anonymous players on the pitch until we had the game handed to us by their players / Atkinson. But again, apologies for not bowing to popular opinion...

The right decision just because you said it? No, it's because you love seeing magic moments from your charming prince at the expense of team cohesion. Come on, there was no options on the box. Poor shot but the right decision. Love these edgy HBA-fanboyhaters.

What did anyone else create in the whole match?

If he had stayed on the line he would've easily saved it. Hard to criticise him but poor today.

Jesus Glad you noted that because i was just.......argh..... Guy created more than anyone else in half the time. Granted he was a bit greedy but if he wasn't greedy he wouldn't be Hatem. Well yeah, everyone is focusing on those two shots, ok they were very greedy but like f*** he's selfish all the time. He damn good will create chances if we actually played him, like last week. I know criticising HBA on here goes against the grain, but he was poor and looked disinterested against Stoke until two reds gave him the space / time to look good...

Colo 4.5? He's at fault for Santon losing his man?

Where did all these lunatics come from?

No one open, has to shoot there ffs.

Boring.
