Fletcher's good.

Top scoring midfielder in FF.

2-1 Cristiano

Hm. Better than Woodgate's debut I guess.

Bale very much in the periphery of this match. Looks like a fish out of water.

How did he miss that?

Ridiculous foul by Ramos

no doubt, Hull have been fairly solid so far and this won't be anything but a very uninspiring match. It's a good test for what is our first-choice XI (or near enough) to unlock a team who have come for a point/smash'n'grab. Hopefully we work on this over the next week, getting a bit more guile and composure in our build-up - not just brute force "put the ball in the box as many times as you can, one of them is bound to break loose for Cisse".

There you go GD http://i.imgur.com/SEVsMmn.png One of these available for touches Cisse had?

64 with bonuses Mignolet, Chambers and Sturridge left

Got 50 on the dot before bonus points thanks to Ramsey, HBA, Benteke, Zabaleta and Vertonghen. Soldado and Walcott were useless today. Soldado paid the ultimate price: a TRANSFER OUT OF BEREN'S FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM.

Even Leffe wrote him off before the game

HBA has his assist now FWIW.

With an iron hand, this one

Not a fan of it myself. Reminds me of Liverpool and their interview petitioning to get Suarez voted player of the year last season in every interview 'Stevie G' and Blobfish did.

Should comfortably clear 60 points again this week

He's picked the team he has because Jonas and Tiote got injured in fairness. I'm not saying it ends there, and he does deserve credit today for sending them out with the right attitude, but let's not reinvent what's lead to that XI being out there I still wonder if Obertan hadn't got injured, whether HBA wouldn't be starting I'm not complaining today anyway. As long as he doesn't change it back the next game.

Too afraid of Barry fucking them up heeheheheheheehhhheehehe Just saw a replay of his own goal vs Southampton

Imperious.

Soldado can piss off though. Two penalties is not worth 9.5m. Lukaku in.

Should be a starter for me. His intelligence to check back, hold up the ball and try to work the opposition open instead of just driving the ball towards the goal using the shortest displacement distance is essential. Additionally, he's strong, gets in good positions and good technique.

Oscar dropped F'ing Mourinho!

New system. They review assists like that before awarding them, now. It's a formality though

Difficult type of test to Villa. Trying to break them down while they sit back, I expect. Three points would be mean we'd have some great momentum, and further re-build our confidence after last season. Hopefully the Villa win will mean playing at home is less pressurised for the first time in a while.

This feeling is so weird and unfamiliar.
