fergie won't play his first team will he? our uefa team with a mix of first steamers and reserves might be more cohesive having played together more this season

They should have a scrap of paper on the dressing room wall. Pecking order that applies come hell or high water, or poor form, or egos, or being nice to one another. Shambles. Pardew should really enforce his authority on this one. 1. Shola 2. Ben Arfa 3. Cabaye 4. Ba 5. Cisse agree though would probably have cisse lower than that. i have seen Taylor take some good penalties for the 721s and I'm sure Krul could take penalties

hope there isn't the same inquest in the dressing room. finish the match then talk about it. apparently Jonas asked Ben Arfa to give up the penalty.

he's been poor up to today this season but he is actually having a decent game today so far.

auto.correct

Patrick Kluivert has been .slagging Pardew off today. wind his neck in.

Well Patrick Kluivert has had his say. now let's see what GHoeberX has to say about it all.

it would seem that the perception of football fans in particular liverpool fans probably led to the mistaken belief that this was another hooliganism incident. the way the stadium was set up, the way the police reverted to hooliganism prevention protocols, and the way the tragedy was investigated by police and media shows that while completely in the wrong, people did at the time believe it was the fans fault.

The families deserve their justice, a lot of things went wrong as shown in mcgoverns documentary. however other Liverpool fans have to stop using the hillsborough victims as a stick to beat people with whenever they hear anything they don't like. also when shouting out against conspiracy by politicians police and the media Liverpool fans must remember that their own behaviour in the 80s made the mud stick and perhaps prevented quick action and or justice.

And that back problem could be caused by his hair! I'm sure our physios and doctors know more than you do. Gerrard's back problem went unnoticed for 5 years. Yes they know more, but it doesn't mean they don't miss things or get things wrong.

This is eerily becoming as I described it would last season as a worst case scenario. He could have a problem with his back. This would strain his leg muscles so he keeps getting thigh/groin/hamsting strains, eventually becoming minor tears and then major tears. Like with Gerrard only they spotted the problem too late and despite taking the six months out needed to have his back fixed, he has remained susceptible to these injuries recurring.

I am surprised that no one has picked up on comments from Pardew about players being lied to by agents, and now feeling disappointed about still being here, affecting their performances.

Pardew has come out and said to the written press that certain players aren't as commited any more as agents, not employed by the players have contacted them out of the blue to tell them that they can sign for big clubs for double their pay. These transfers never materialised, but these players have now had their heads turned and he says he needs to work on getting them refocused here.

Me personally no, but that is speaking as someone who has been pretty horrendously affected by road accidents. But that is why I argue that the clubs need to take more responsibility for educating its youth players and ultimately making sure that their money is spent the correct way. My weekly cycle to work on a Friday, I go pass Man City's Academy and the cars they have are unreal. Nearly been knocked off by a couple pulling out too.

Also, there is a difference between Joe Bloggs, employee of Sainsbury's, and professional footballers who represent their club and its sponsors and therefore their behaviour is associated with their brand. Also Man City have a duty of care to their staff and I think they have failed here. You can't go throwing money at kids without ensuring they spend it responsibly IMO. This is more of a football in general thing rather than being aimed at Man city though. And most of all that kid is a complete and utter idiot.

The council are actually able to impose sanctions on the club and its property, so it is in the clubs best interest to monitor the vehicle usage of its employees. Especially at the moment where they are looking to expand their facilities.

What the fuck is an 18 year old doing with a Mercedes. Clubs need to take responsibility over the vehicles its youth players are permitted to drive.

A Manchester City youth player and England youth international has been arrested for killing two people while racing cars. Although the identity of the deceased has not been confirmed it seems like a male and female adult in the front who died with 2 kids in the back seriously injured. Hope those kids never see Courtney Meppen Walter earning thousands in the Premier League.

It was odd that at the end we actually looked desperate to win.

This amaze me. Always have to be picking at young players for anything. It´s not like the rest of them were flaw less. I was praising him!

Love his enthusiasm, the downside being though that he isn't always composed and makes some odd passes and decisions but that is something that can be sorted with coaching and experience.

Krul 7 Simpson 5 Taylor 6 Coloccini 6 Santon 6 Anita 7 Cabaye 3 Jonas 6 Ben Arfa 7 Cisse 4 Ba 4 Birgirama 7

Cabaye has misplaced 25% of passes and completed less passes than ireland.

Great gesture

That defence, if we cant find a way through that then there really is no hope The front six have found their way through most defences in the past year. If we don't find our way through today, no need to panic.
