HawK

Don't go wasting my precious time.

Was amazed when I read that Dummett has been our fastest this season: http://talksport.com/football/revealed-top-six-fastest-players-premier-league-including-liverpool-and-manchester-united The stats are usually meaningless for this, crap defenders always find an extra 3MPH of 'OH SHIT' speed when they need to backtrack when out of position.

That's largely because the ball is nowhere near his feet when he is running 'with the ball' apart from when he is tapping it off the defenders legs like a Sunday afternoon amateur Undoubtedly

That's probably with the ball as well for Sissoko, no way he'd be running about without it or backtracking. He's got the rare ability to run top pelt with the ball.

End of the day, we're miles ahead now of plan A Krul punt to Cisse which can only be a good thing. Colo's passing is underrated, I think he's fantastic and to have him and Shelvey spotting passes bodes well.

On the ball - Shelvey Off the ball - Cabaye

I didn't suggest that he is only capable of producing good performances with the cameras on, but you have to admit there is a rather concerning pattern. It looked like he was just going for some Fifa accomplishments yesterday by running with the ball as much as possible.

He did ?

Gotta be Doumbia on for Wij

Enabled by Shelvey tbh.

Not noticed that myself. He does like playing the ball to Janmaat if the ball is ahead of Janmaat, rather than to feet.

We need Wij to be moving a lot more off the ball when we've got the ball behind him.

Mitrovic having the game of his life, holding the ball up and laying it off Shearer-esque.

So so happy for Mitrovic right now.

YES

Fucking hell Tiote

I'm salivating at the chance of our new found English core tearing up the fizzy pop league. Hope it's as fun as last time around.

No Sky/BT cameras last night.

Would be hilarious. For many reasons.

Martin O'Neill always made sure to use his subs mid way through the second half, Brummie knows, I guess that makes him a stormin' manager Subbing for subbing sake is obviously retarded, I respect managers who make changes at half time and react to changing tactical situations, opposition subs.

I reckon there's a strong chance he's gone a bit senile and thinks he's managing England again and needs to bring the fringe players through, first step into the club.

On the basis I genuinely thought we'd sign no-one, I picked the top option.

Loved Rio in the jacket just being there to support Anton

Best LB we've had since Bernard.
