Still in the boat that I'd like for us to sign a top keeper in the summer.

Just be a little less shit in defense and I'm much happier.

Thought it was poor from him, he doesn't seem to strong at making saves to his left, seems a canny amount beats him there fwiw. Maybe has to do with injuries or something?

is my biggest beef with Sissoko. Yup, he switches off, lazy and weak tackles etc. But on the flip side when he's in his beast mode matches, he's out there muscling and standing people up and getting his body in front of his opponent and then he's nearly impossible to beat. This guy has one of the best shoulder barges I've seen in some time (was it Ridgewell?) Think it might have been against Liverpool where he tracked his man to the RB area and made what was probably his first sliding tackle of the season. He won the ball and knocked it out for a throw. He then turned back to his defence with a look on his face as if to say "was that alright lads?" :lol Beast Mode Sissoko is a joy to behold. Fanny Mode Sissoko is just a waste of time. Fanny mode - that would be that time he went for a slide tackle and the winger just continued on with his run and crossed it. Was the weakest thing I've ever seen. Beast mode - Sissoko dropping Ivanovic with a shoulder, throwing Moreno around like a doll last week... What a frustrating fucker, when he's in pure beast - you're right, it's fucking glorious.

Getting a yellow as a CM who's role is to break up play and provide cover within the first 25 minutes every match essentially takes you out of the match. You're unable to do a professional foul on a counter that could lead to a goal if you're pushed up, you're unable to go in hard on any challenges or take gambles. Its fucking poor stuff.

Klopp sent his team out to answer to the Wall when they had that poor fucking run and they listened to fans shout at them, apologized, and then promptly worked their asses off to move themselves back up the table his last season there if i recall correctly. Pretty ballsy, classy move there.

Is that a serious question? When your central (supposedly combative) midfielder is on a yellow, he has to be on his best behavior so as not to risk a second yellow. Players in that position have to take risks sometimes to stop imminent attacks. I wouldn't mind him picking up yellows, it's just that 99% of the time they're stupidly avoidable yellows where he could have just let the player go as they posed very little threat. Save taking the yellow card for when it's worth it, and not when you foul an opponent in their own f***ing half because you can't tackle for s***. Spot on both of you.

Humble pie my ass. He's been historically s*** and he's been a mouthpiece for Alan f***ing Pardew. If he starts performing like that consistently and doing his job back there then he'll rightfully get the credit he deserves NOW for actually doing the job like a professional premier league footballer should.

I don't think Colback adds to any balance of our team. He's a warm body who gets a yellow card. Definitely, I meant more taking Wini out of a position that's working really well for us. That's probably a bad idea. We're desperate for a couple of new centre midfielders and centre backs. True. This is where I think you play Ayoze wide left and have him do the same stuff he's doing now but a little more rigid in he stays more on the left side, push Gini inside more and get him ghosting in around the box like he's done for us to score his goals. I like little Vurn, but the solution here is moving Sissoko or Wijnaldum central and signing a proper CM who can do both ends of the pitch work and cover for what could be 5 blitzing attackers.

Him coming on in injury time tells me it was a timewasting exercise rather than pecking order. Lucky cunt has been able to celebrate a winner yesterday on the pitch and then the match sealer versus Liverpool

thought the same thing as well.

I wish you could be as quiet. POTY

Agree Ikon

Cabella. The 6 foot 4 tall bastard.

I thought it was class, and I hate Blobby boy, but in the post match interview he had to say one more thing and say how well the fucker was doing in goal since Tim was hurt - and that he played well in the last 2 matches especially. Say what you will about Rob, Mitro is a class mad bastard.

He rinsed Alderweireld, sizing up and turning him man. Fucking Vertonghen had to ruin that by paying attention. Wish he pulled a Colo there and went missing or missed that tackle. Anyway, can't stop watching Ayoze chest control to shot in one swift beautiful Suarez/Messi style early hit. Dreamy stuff.

Cracking up laughing out loud right now. Mint.

He's always capable of being a CM with the right CM partner / holder next to him. But it requires him to actually put in a shift on both ends of the pitch - which he's capable of but unwilling to show it

Drop Colback.

'kin hell If he wanted SDJ in CM, why is he wanting us to sign another CM, you divvy. Exactly

Would have been nicer if he just hit it with his foot nee idea why he headed something that was knee height

I love that Tino tweets about the matches
