Colossal last 15 minutes.

3 points!

Dowd is a fucking joke.

I can see a correlation there. Colo did well to take the ball away from Sessegnon prior to the goal.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Agree. Trying to demonstrate a foul (that would have been missed/ignored) and wasted a goalscoring opportunity. Even if it had been given, it's a freekick. Daft/lazy from Remy. No need, and the kind of thing we all slag off when other clubs' players do it. You can't have a sport where players are slamming into the turf every time someone grabs their sleeve for a split second. Hardly a split second.

Coloccini vs Long always shows him up. What has Colo done wrong? The one that went for a goalkick was extremely unlucky as Long miscontrolled it and the ball just bounced of his knee.

Still daft to go down, great chance to get a penalty and a red if he keeps going or just simply score.

W T F ?

Fucking Dowd.

Deliberate.

Almost amazing ball by Tiote.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Consistency - what about Mulumbu who's tackles have arguably been worse. Mulumbu must get a yellow for his next foul.

wtf, reputation yellow.

His kneecontrolling is appalling.

Tiote

I'm still a big fan of Colo, but against West Brom, MYM was probably the defender best equipped to deal with Sessegnon and Long, regardless of Williamson's form. I hope we don't pay for it. Aye, would've gone with Colo and MYM.

I don't mind the group stages. The one thing that makes Europa League shite is the CL losers getting free entry to the competition. They had their shot and screwed it, absolutely no need for the consolation prize. Try again next year.

Mourinho went with the Pardew's famous contain strategy but is too shit to get them to attack after 60 minutes.

Ajax 2-0

Anichebe isn't likely to start. Long is nothing special and I fail to see how Willo would deal with him better than Colo. Colo suddenly seems to be one of the worst CB's in the league according to N-O. It isn't about how good or bad Colo is its about horses for courses as I said. MYM would deal better with Long and Williamson would deal better with Anichebe. If Anichebe doesn't start that changes things as I trust MYM with Long. I just don't fancy the thought of Long, Sessegnon and Amalfitano running against Willo on the counter. He's done extremely well but IMO he should still be a backup and I see this game as a real possibility for his form to drop. I would also like to try and keep possession as much as possible on Saturday and obviously Colo would be a big boost in that.

I had it on TV but didn't pay much attention. MYM has to start but if we are that concerned about Long I'm not sure how Willo can be the answer either. Also I doubt Colo would be stupid enough to lose his discipline against Long one more time.
