Needed dropping several games ago, now needs to step up and stop dicking about with his defending. Our most talented full-back probably. For him to be this bad is verging on unprofessional.

Poor guy. Hope his career doesn't suffer too badly as a consequence. Get well soon Massadio!

I'm living vicariously through our portly little coach! Have 'em!

We weren't before Debuchy went off. Very unfair to separate out how disruptive the injuries have been from the rest of the game.

The game is a bit of irrelevance now. I'm concerned about Haidara. Also revenge.

Ref saw it and did nothing. They'll stand by their own, the corrupt twats. And a fuck lot of good it'll do us then, anyway. Their thug will miss three games, Haidara is gone for months. Only acceptable restorative justice is some heavies breaking their thug's legs later. I like Martinez, so call me a petty man, but I really hope Wigan get relegated and Halsey loses his job.

Oh you super motherfucker.

I'm still angry/hoping Tiote snaps McManaman - can't imagine how the players feel.

May as well have a Lucky 8 Ball make decisions instead of referees right now. Diabolical set of referees atm.

Cisse looks pissed as fuck.

Reckless yellow at the very least.

Because we're not allowed to have nice things

Argh. I feel a bit like rage-quitting this match tbh. Santon has got progressively worse, second half of the season.

It's not even just the sheer amount of injuries, a Mackem couldn't have handpicked better choices for injuries: Colo, Krul, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Debuchy ffs

Such shite luck man

Scimitar Berbatov 1-0!

Marv has been great so far.

Yeah, so Marv on corners now.

Really good energy so far.

So good to see Marv and Gouff together.

MYM trying a Jedi mind trick there. "It was not a foul"

We need to have decent discipline with our shape, and resetting ourselves when we lose possession.

They won't. 3rd best team in the league by a little distance as long as they keep Bale fit. Nah. They're more consistent than Chelsea and Arsenal this season though. So far. They're much better than Arsenal, man. Depends on injuries IMO. If they're both full strength (ie. Spurs have Dembele, Bale, Lennon and Arsenal have Diaby, Wilshere, Walcott and Cazorla) I think Arsenal's sophistication trumps Spurs' speedster style.
