Interesting that he seems to find a new reason that will get us beat every week again and again.
He obviously think Obertan's injury is a big loss for us.
I was genuinely relieved to find that he was predicting another loss. Confident we'll do them now. 3-0
We'd be there for a fortnight thanks to the international break, I'd definitely accept a Sunderland win or draw for that.
And a result could keep Agent Bruce in charge for a good while longer!
Thanks, for that. Really interesting.
Losing Enrique still boils my piss and seeing them gloat over what a fantastic buy he was for them irritates still.
But Ryan Taylor holds his own I suppose, statistically speaking. (But that's probably down to our easy schedule )
I really have to wonder though what the writer was thinking while putting the article together. Why was Ryan Taylor included for analysis at all? I'm happy he/she/it did. I don't think I would've bothered.
No worries. Cabaye, Tiote, Coloccini, and Ba are not English. Scott Parker is. (That said, nobody really went in for Scott Parker until after West Ham were already relegated.)
Usually love these Monday games. Take an long lunch, watch Newcastle at a decent hour (for me anyway).
But today I have to run off to two meetings. Going to miss everything but the first 30.
Krul.
For me the only player that could be a reason onto himself. Not Cabaye, certainly not Ben Arfa. We're better in midfield and that's largely down to Cabaye, but Krul is such an enormous step up from what we had with Harper. I don't think his importance can be overestimated.
