Especially when no one else does.

Two week break now and we couldn't have asked for a better start considering our squad is incomplete. If we don't make those signings it will all have been in vain.

I think we'll get at least a point if we get a couple of signings through the door.

I can remember last season' home game against Fulham, Andy Carroll was absolutely owned by Haangeland. For Best to get two goals against him is pretty impressive.

Get the fuck in.

Krul takes. Bravely done lad.

Should have brought Sammy on to carry the ball into their half.

Shit.

He's no Coloccini.

City's front four have been sublime tbf. Make Liverpool look like a bunch of plodders. They will take some stopping this season.

Two more goals. Goals = striker mission accomplished. Keep on keeping on Besty.

Bridge hasn't gone anywhere yet. I wouldn't be surprised.

Based on what?

What did anyone expect with the team he's put out?

I don't think Ba can be considered seriously until this Ramadhan business id finished, same with Marveaux. Are we sure Ba is even observing ramadan? There are workarounds, afaik. I wouldn't play Ba in any case until we've got some sort of passing football going. He's looked lost battling for high balls aimed from deep and that's all he's going to get at this time.

Quote from Pardew: "Perch can play centre back" Not if he's not picked.

Not if we're playing hoof the ball which it looks like we will. Obertan is less likely to get to the knock downs than Lovenkrands. Not that he'll get to them either as usually they just bounce straight to a defender.

Ba up top with Obertan and Marveaux either side would be worth a look but we'd need passing football and Ba to be 100% for that.

We might win it from the bench as long as we don't leave the changes until too late in the game.

Clearly set us out to get a result and forget the performance. Hope his luck holds out.

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

That's handy because his worst work is usually when he actually has the ball.

Glad he's not playing as we are going to hoof the ball long and he's looked crap in that set up so far.

Like I said in the other thread, the only possible scenario where he might be more effective than playing a genuine footballer would be in a 4-4-2 where he's expected to run on to the flick ons from a big man. We've seen Obertan doesn't like that game, and if you were planning on playing any sort of passing game there would be much better alternatives.
