Improvement on Hughton etc

Hate how many niggling fouls are committed against us without yellows yet our fouls are yellows so often.

That's some Alan Smith shit, man. Inexcusable.

Pretty impressive result from Man Utd. Fulham at home are usually a really stern test.

I really like Best, but his partnership with Ba is really stale at the minute. He also gives the team an excuse to lump it forward. I don't think we'd ordinarily play like this though, if we had the confidence from earlier in the season.

Main gripe I have with him right now is the evident lack of defensive coaching on set plays. Forget having Williamson and Saylor out, no one else knows what is going or is picking anyone up. So easy to predict when we're going to concede lately.

Reckon we'll need another two goals to get something out of this. We don't look especially incisive going forward though credit to Vuckic, Ba and - towards the end - Obertan. Bit depressing watching us slowly slide down the table like this. Ugh.

Wouldnt say theyre outplaying us, we've been passing and moving it more than they have. They just look far more decisive, where as we knock it long. That's the away team version of outplaying a team tbh. Making the other team knock it long, then creating chances on the break.

Not only the guilty party. Colo has been worse than him in this respect, I would say. No patience out there - maybe the mini-slump is getting to them.

We look so disorganised on set plays. It's not even about personnel at this stage. No one knows who the fuck they're marking. Too much long ball too. Still in it, but we're chasing the game and always vulnerable. Some promising points but be surprised if we can get a point.

Fuck me. Anything this boy can't do.

Players need to calm down. Plenty of time left. Don't start getting angry or playing the final ball too early.

Obertan of course.

Another if I had guts bet: Adam Johnson FGS for Man City. Don't know the odds, my shit betting site has crashed.

Can I interest you in a 1-1? Leon Best triple hattrick tonight Neil. Tonight, he gets back on track!

Good attacking chutzpah in that Everton line-up. If I wasn't such a coward, I'd bet on them.

Did Mulumbu pass his fitness test to make the WBA XI?

Man City/Arsenal

What crap.

No real victory. He has managed to see out his salary on ludicrous wages ( ~ on the basis that no one will take him in January).

Dortmund dude gets red. Not decent.
