Another good half.

Wouldn't blame him though, fact is that Rodwell is like three heads taller than him. Something was wrong with the whole teams marking. Well, does he have to give him 10000 yards of space because he's 100 yards tall? NO! True just re-watched it. Made a mistake, but still felt it was a bad marking all around. Weird to put Danny on Rodwell. Where was Best and Ba?

A 2nd half where we need to get Best and Ba involved more than by long ball. The pass is passing our midfielders by, get Marv and Jonas running behind their fullbacks. Backed off after our 2nd goal and when Cabaye went off. Not very good, need to improve on those last 10minutes.

A goal from nothing. But probably deserved to be only one up with the way this half has gone. Stopped existing as soon as Cabaye was subbed.

What a goal!

Fucking hell, shit goal to concede. Can't see us holding this with that midfield. Need to get a goal early on in the 2nd half.

Can see both teams attacking on the left a lot.

Can't see anything else than Marveaux in for Obe Wan Kenobi and Tiote in for Guthrie.

Best he starts scoring again.

Fair enough, I still remain the opinion that he's the baddest and most difficult defender to play against as a striker. As a ballplaying defender I prefer Thiago Silva who is a much calmer guy on the ball than any other defender, and if you compare Silva to Pique. Silva has 3 players above 50years of age in front of him while Pique has the best ball passing midfield in Europe. In my opinion I'd pair Vidic and Thiago Silva if I had to build a fantasy team.

If its a knee problem then he might be on the bike and pool the whole week. Knee will swell up after running, so maybe they'll let him play tomorrow as there is a two week break. If he trains his knee's would swell up and make it less of a chance of him playing tomorrow. Heres a hoping at least.

I'd rather wait and see how Marveaux and HBA does before we go spending money on another wide player. Jonas, Obertan and Marv along with Ben Arfa if really needed is good enough for the flanks. Should focus on getting a new fullback, and new striker.

FYP being a knob again i see Stu.. good work Why shouldn't Wood's progress be counted FOR Hughton, rather than against him? Agree but never really meant it that way. Sorry for my terrible english.

I agree, but think we'll see Marveaux on the right.

Like Anderson? Exactly like Anderson. It's beyond me how anyone can argue that Anderson has been one of the best central midfielders this season in the Premiership. He dictates the tempo of the second best team in this league. He has scored two goals from a position where not many score any goals at all, he's been the player who has ran that midfield. As soon as Sir Alex took him off against City, City ran away with four goals, not saying it was solely down to subbing Anderson, but they lost that calmness and rhytm dictating player that they are. He's also been carrying a knock of late, but for first 7 games i'd argue he was the best central midfielder in the league. David Luiz hasn't had a good season thus far, yet he's been average, he would walk into most sides first eleven even when he's not at his best. I don't think he's one of the best in the world, and there are defenders that are better than him in this league, but to call a player like him s*** is ridiculous. As for Captain Colo, the guy has been a genius this season. That second sentence makes about as much sense as your guff about Leon Best. You're the only one arguing it. Ronaldo and his love for Best. Honestly Ronaldo, Best has been the best midfielder in this league. I'd also argue that he's probably the best fullback in the league when he wants to.

Comfortably. I'd argue against that. For me Vidic is when he's not picking up red cards (some are unfair on him) the best defender in the world. Then I'd argue Thiago Silva who is the most important piece of that Milan defence is the 2nd best. Pique is a one of the best players in the world, but like Sewelly stated above he has it relatively easy with the amount of possesion Barca and Spain have.

I actually prefer Luisao, but that's because he's my neighbour in Brazil. David Luiz is a bit erratic, but you can't say he's shit as he's top 10 in this league as a central defender.

Like I say, come back to me when you watch him play.

very good post

Yeah, Diame has looked pretty decent from what I've seen (very little but still). Has scored two very good goals this season in the PL too.

Deserved.
