Beren

I'd like for him to be kept secret/underrated for as long as possible tbh The longer he gets faint praise because shots were "the right height" for him, the better.

Krul - 8 - Will save us a helluva lot of points this season. Still young, but incredible talent. Raylor - 7.5 - Could get used to seeing him in the team. Torrid first twenty minutes, and a burden to our left flank. After that - really, really good. Even did a behind-the-back skill flick! Great delivery. Like him in the team, maybe not at LB. Saylor - 8 - Solid enough - really intelligent off the ball movement. Highly impressed. Colo - 7.5 - Solid enough. Struggled a little bit getting pulled about a bit too much, but good. Simpson - 6.5 - Better than usual. Good coming forward. Idiotic freekick to give away. Jonas - 8.5 - So consistent. Cabaye - 9 - MOTM. Tiote - 6 - What have you done with the real Tiote? Hope we replace this doppleganger and the real Tiote finds his form soon. Obertan 7.5 - Faded in and out of the game first half, but with growing confidence he really came into the game. I'm liking him. Leon Best - 8.5 - Top drawer game. As an individual he's not fantastic, but for our team-play he is fantastic. Starter. Lovenkrands - 6 - Was foolishly hopeful, but a rather blase performance. Appreciated the effort. Can see him slipping down Pardew's pecking order. Subs: Ba - just because he got an assist, I'm not convinced he's "there" yet, but he did play much better than previously, and he's nearing contention for a first team spot along side Best in my mind. Much, much better. It was only a matter of time. Smith - Idiot yellow card/freekick. Go away for another however many months! Vuckic - Short lived but good cameo. Feel sorry for him, but he did well while he was on. Doesn't look at all out of place on the pitch alongside our first-team and don't want to hear any more of the he's-too-young bollocks. Pardew - 8. Great job, you twat. Nearly got everything right. Good use of subs.

Would you care to place a wager on his goal scoring record for the season? Perhaps a wager which would see yourself quoted in your sig? Goal to game ratio at 40%? Alreet then. Has to make at least 30 appearances, though. Fair, non? 30 - League and cups. What's your forfeit? Liverpool avatar for two months? Change your username to Stevie G? Both, including Bill Shankly's Liverpool Reserves quote, as well as Benitez calling us a small club, as a sig. Ten more, Neil

What a miss by Bale.

Terrible first twenty minutes, really encouraging next twenty eight.

Nervous.

?

Nasri and Modric both playing in the Spurs-Citeh game. Wish I could watch that too, tbh.

Looks like Dempsey will be up top for them.

Your day has arrived Punk. Tin helmet at the ready, son.

Was it Loven and Ranger who were completely nullified to the point of embarrassment at the Cottage last season after Shola fractured his cheekbone? I might have fallen asleep, but I think it was him.

Vuckic made the bench!

120 minutes man. Oh man. At least we'll get some impact off the bench when he eventually gets hauled off. Hope we're not down by that point. I'm hoping Lovenkrands will play a bit more intelligently and might negate us trying to use futile brute-force 'lump it' tactics - which just would not work against Hangeland - but... it's a forlorn hope at best! Glad Best is starting though.

Laughable, IMO. In what way, shape or form is Joey immutably backed into a corner if he has the option to stay and turn down QPR? So many plot holes and so much wishful thinking in that little story it's unreal. The attempt to turn it into an argument where Joey thinks he's bigger than the club is just red-top worthy

What is this thread about?

Lovenkrands played the full 120 IIRC. Shouldn't expect to see him today

Didn't catch the game, but Blackburn must in real trouble if they're losing to early-season Everton

Well, not if you refer to yourself in third person and continue with this self-deprecation! [The team I want, not expect^]

What, in case he forgets? Bloody hell, that's some Abraham Simpson shit right there.

2 goal+ win and we're in the top four ...for a bit

Fffffffuuuuc... Enrique's clean sheet bonus.
