Kanj

Oh man, I'll be so happy if he's in the starting 11 tomorrow! (Debuchy)

We have guys on here analyzing his body weight and muscle mass or it being bulk and mass vs lean and being more defined. love this place man

Yep. He's not exactly Shola man. He'll probably lean up again with a full offseason.

I imagine he walks around like a boss during derby week the big bastard.

Been said many times on here last 24 hours but is there really a better or more exciting feeling than seeing the ball get switched to him out wide and there's one left back back peddling frantically as the crowd roars Hatem on?

Easily becoming one of my favorite players on our books. Remembering when we signed him some were saying he'd take ages to get going, but if/when he did we'd have a real fantastic playmaker on our hands. Can't wait to see him score a goal at SJP - going to be one brilliant powerful curving blast with that magic left foot of his.

Anyone who watches the ressies and youth teams able to say who they think could possibly step up next season or 2? Apart from the obvious we've seen this season?

The idea of getting rid of this fantastic man and player. Ludicrous.

What about that Lubomir Satka kid?

Hoping well see a different Anita next season, with some time to review himself and see what needs to work on. Many good players have struggled in their first season, he's a young lad who doesn't have the physical side that can allow him to adapt as quick as others. Agree with many on here who don't see where he fits as of now- I'm just going to look at him positively for now though. There's a great and smart footballer in there that needs more time to adapt than others. Hopefully we see that next season.

I'd want him to stay from a footballing aspect, but always find him to be such an arrogant guy in the media and such. He seems to have the right attitude when it comes to us though. Ideally, I'd love another Haidara type signing for the right back position as it suits us in the long run much better

If a young player can do what he did defensively last night and maybe a little more going forward, then sure. Just haven't seen enough of our younguns myself to say that. But will defer to those who have. I have no problem with Willo being called upon rarely, id just hope it's very rarely he's needed.

This. Keep safety and build on the squad this summer and we have no excuse but to get a good domestic cup run or 2 with the squad now. Sadio is going to be a top player, it's only going to force Davide to up his game.

Fuck it- Had he had a fully fit squad or even the likes of a fit Ben Arfa for 90 minutes we'd have won this. And perhaps a different result in Lisbon. Let's get Sunday right AP.

Thought he was going to score when he cut in man. Glad to see him back. Beware Mackems.

Who was the commentator on the big hits DVD for Our match vs Barca? I keep forgetting his name.

Rapinoe is actually a fantastically gifted player. I always thought she was the best in the last few tournaments, her passing and crossing were top.

Fuck

Fucking love that trophy

Yeah, looked it up online and saw that. The design itself is brilliant though. And the designers of Puma look at their shit for us and go - nah man, lets add some random spikes.

Aguero man good lord

Yeah man. Obv easy to look back and bemoan but Count Sunderland away, Liverpool away, Man Utd away, Reading home and Wigan away and we're right around Liverpool too. Our inability to get a tie out of losses at times killed us.

I got the bedlam part right about this goal. hah!

Certainly was, just read the match report and we had 20 shots, 10 on target (I know, stats don't tell the whole story etc..) compared to their 5 and 3. Was one of those "we are never going to score!" games but sometimes I forget we have Papiss '90+' Cisse I can't stop watching AP and 90+ celebrating man so amazing
