Zero

We'd not necessarily lose the match even if we play Jonas and Routledge. And you better consider that HBA is just new to this league. I don't think it really worths taking the risk. Anyway.

I am tempted to leave out Ben Arfa for this match. The chances of him getting an injury from this match is quite high. I'd rahter give up 2 points.

That's a match-winning last ditch tackle by Colo, fucking brilliant

Fucking impressive pressing that was. Credit due to Hughton and the players' hardwork at training.

Considering his price, he's doing what we expected. However if possible we should sell Raylor and Simpson to bring in a starting RB in the coming January.

He’s also right footed and due to playing on the left ends up trying to cross with his weaker foot most the time. No. He won't do that. He will turn back and cross with his right. If someone has to cross in deep, it will be Enrique.

I don't understand why our wingers always being singled out for criticism. Solano's the only exception. Robert is shit, Milner is shit, N'Zogbia is shit --- yet we are relegated because we sold all these "shit" players. Stop it, please.

Stephen Glass? Neesy, take a sleep. You are really talking bullshits. Without Jonas we even cannot bring the ball upfield. Can't you see that he's the integral part of all our short passing play?

Like I've said earlier if you check, the problem is the guy has no competition hence why he can play crap every game like we did when he got relegated, and still stay in the team. Looking at the likes of Smith, Nolan, Perch, Williamson, and Routledge, nevermind Campbell, Ameobi, Lovenkrands, and Raylor who's actually useless subs, and consider that we have no decent backup for Enrique, I think our money should be better spent somewhere else before "for a competition with Jonas".

Some people really need their head checked.

Apisith, that said, I will start him over Ameobi for that role. I am serious, I can see that if Nolan's dropped Ameobi will play instead of HBA.

I am divided. I am also worried that this will affect the team as a whole. However I couldn't deny that this is the most powerful weapon we have. Today we are a bit unlucky - if things' went in the right direction we should have scored twice or more by just relying on Carroll.

Who plays RB then?

I guess his reason is HBA plays better on the left.

Smith out before Nolan. At least we can get a draw.

I think it will harm the squad harmony if a player's dropped for no reason after a series of good performance/decent results. I agree that the question is when he will drop, not why he didn't drop today.

He dribbles like Messi to be honest.

To be honest, the only fault he did today is to pick Smith.

We are still more likely to get the 3 points until that fuxxking hell tackle. It ruins everything.

Please, let this be the last. Please.

Actually I don't think we are THAT bad. But Smith deserves an internal 10 match ban for that fucking stupid tackle. Ben Arfa <> Smith would do it, pull Nolan back to midfield. Tiote may sub Barton in 60 min.

Why, Smith, Why!?

We cannot complain much. Should we have an injury-free season, qualifying for Europe is definitely possible.

They deserve it.

I have never seen such a "boss" on the pitch since Vieira.
