Fuck you nolan

Should be "back to" instead of "call up"

Just treat that as a gesture to our former captain, come on.... Everyone in the world know that won't happen. Re-siging Carroll is another issue though. A reasonable price would do me, but I don't think Liverpool would sell him back to us.

It is good that he can perform well in both position. Great utility player.

Well played today. That said, I ain't sure what's his best position.

Thanks god.

Cabaye injured. Who else can come out to hold the ball then? Bigi?

Did you see how bad Liverpool were.... How BAD Liverpool were? Serious? BAD?

Did you see how deep we were start of the 2nd half, he went for the 1-0 as he usually does nowadays. Ba is a huge loss. We are unable to link up as well as 1st half without Ba.

Defended quite well. Probably spent too much energy there though, looks knackered whenever going forward.

Pipe down. No one is interested. Seconded. Third.

To be fair he used to do that frequently when he was young and he probably tried his best to control already lol

Finally reach Woody's level?

Sometimes, just sometimes, you do wonder, what the fuck was the ref thinking.

I actually think we played very well and deserve the lead. Fxxk that Liverpool. They push everyone forward to give us high pressure and it is absolutely normal that once we break that down they would concede goals. Well done lads, especially the defenders. We fucking deserve the lead.

He is a better footballer than Jose Enrique. Look back it was an awesome deal to replace Jose by just spending 5m on Davide. Incredible.

IF, a big IF, what Pardew said is genuine, I believe that the whole squad is having fitness issue and all the players are out of form. That's the only valid reasons for such a shit performance.

My concern is not the tactics but the players fitness level. The players were simply standing still after 60 mins, this is unacceptable.

So who is the motherfucker who cause his injury

Probably because Simpson is not match fit yet.

This is his last run as our keeper.

I think the key issue is his confidence towards our defenders --- particularly Williamson. It is not a coincidence that we 99% play long balls when Williamson is there because he is a fucking liability when facing counter attack. Last season we actually gained a lot of points when we play a very compact 442 during the first half, and even if we started to use 433, our first choice defenders and keeper were all available except Saylor. Pardew's magic is his work on our defense, and that he is actually lucky to have only Saylor as our long term absentee last season. In fact Pardew knows how shit our defense is this year, that's why he continues to go for a direct 442 to protect the defense line. This is still his top priority. Only if we are losing and force to get a goal back, we would try something else. I think he has to accept the fact that the defense line is hopeless and the only way we can win is to score more than the opponents, rather than grinding them out. Ultimately I lay the blame on the transfer last summer. We should definitely sign a more centre back and one more left back. Pardew's hand is tied --- and probably Ashley know this and that's why giving out a 8 years contract.

I think he is equally great at both right and left.

Wait, so Hulk and Witsel both to Zenit for 80m?
