good start

given martins faye taylor enrique

he should play geremi on the right and play smith in attacking midfield role with butt holding...far more balanced

viduka in, beye starts ... only changes made for this match ...taylor on bench

Good? Average would have been a bonus. ball bouncing off his shin or hip... 10 or 20 offsides.... the usual crack.. the usual ameobi

i am still very positive, but only because i think that now sam will sub the captain, i hope he now realises that AS cannot play wide right, and that shola is guff unless playing against uefa teams and the fat that he didnt have much on the bench that could have changed the way we played.. ie no creative midfielders.... the problem

howard was always going to be a presence, and to be fair i think our defence coped with him...... but only because he wasnt very good at finishing

That's a sh*te comment. No ambition whatsoever. Of course we should be looking at the top 6. In summer what did we want? We wanted to see progress on and off the pitch, some semblance of long-termism, and a good squad spirit. We're building a squad, we're improving facilities off the pitch. We need to demonstrate the patience Big Sam asked for. But let's never play Smith on the wing every again. agree! why did he do it?

Our lack of penertration came from playing players with no width ... ie milner on the left who tries to cut in, because he cant cross on the left foot, and smith who tries to play in field because he cant play wide right.. which basically means no width, and no creativity... playing gerimi and butt is like playing butt and parker... a no no

smith should have been on the bench ... should have gone with martins

how did he do?

southgate... what a pro

wots the latest?

ssn is the hold up?

six on andys pad (ssn) reckons i not over.. still got dodgy eyebrows

the kid on ssn looks very supriseed

solano all over ssn

jesus need somone to tell e vocally wots goijg on... geting to pissed

Bolton c***s.....although wouldnt be that pissed off,as long as we get Beye! get beye ... keep solano.. fine by me

raised eyebrow kid is a right freak.. has got to be right

raised eyebrow kid on ssn reckons the faye deal has stalled abit .... not bothered really if it means solano stays

i was lead to belive smith palyed on the right.. if he did, i think this was bad tactical decision, he isnt a right sided midfielder at all
