Sifu

My MOTM tonight, looked solid defensively and contributed a lot offensively too. Very promising, he's not too far off a start in the PL imo. I reckon he'll be challenging for a first team place come the start of next season. Hope we see more of him this season (with the Europa League in mind, I think we will ). Keep it up Tav

Just got back from the game. Got to say, I was quite proud of that performance. We certainly didn't deserve to lose that, we were definitely the better team in the second half and more than held on our own in the first half. Man U rode their luck at times imo. Was very impressed with Tavernier when he played at both RB and LB; Ferguson looked bright when he came on and Cissé was pretty much looking like his old self (if he had scored that overhead/bicycle kick, oh man we would have screamed the roof down). The players shouldn't be too disheartened by the loss, they gave it their all but ultimately we lacked that bite upfront tonight. Btw, there wasn't a streaker tonight, just a fully clothed pitch invader, - that's him banned for life now.

He's going to start and score on Wednesday. Mark my words, it will happen.

Pards has a picture of Cabaye Who doesn't?

Only just caught up with this thread, Rodgers doesn't seriously have that canvas in his house does he?

I posted 2 angry tweets myself, that's how pissed off I am

Well the cunt does deserve all the abuse he gets.

Murray's at it again.

Nice one Freddie, the most interesting thing you've said all night

Aye, for once Lawro wasn't being the cunt. Fair play.

Oh fuck off Colin.

Anyone else's picture not syncing up with the sound? EDIT: never mind, all is well.

Ljungberg isn't really going to offer much insight/analysis is he?

I reckon that, to aid his bedding in process, he should start the next few games or so at RB. That way, he can get used to the pace of the PL and settle in properly and then his time will come in CM.

Don't call him that ever again Why? I love sideshow bob For me, it implies that you're referring to David Luiz.

All I'll say is, thank fuck.

Don't call him that ever again

I think we'll be pretty much full strength. The back 4 will be almost certainly be: Perch Colo Saylor Santon Our attack will be strongish, think we'll see Shola and Cissé upfront. The big question is over who we'll start in midfield, Tiote and Marveaux are certainties imo.

Fantastic news. I can see us being pretty much full strength on Wednesday then.

For the first time ever this season, we did have a somewhat decent first half! For the first 45 minutes, it certainly looked like we had a lot more urgency and we should have really been at least 2-0 up at half time (poor from Cissé but once he gets his goal, he'll be up and running again). That second half was shaky as fuck. Got to say, I was a nervous wreck throughout. Nothing was really happening for us - it seemed as if the penalty miss knocked us back a bit (and at the same time gave Norwich a bit more confidence in that they knew they were still in the game). Our defence looked pretty solid today so that's a positive but there is still plenty of room for improvement. Improving our possession retention could be a decent starting point like... Still though a win's a win so onwards and upwards.

Ah but you see Dave, whilst it didn't work at all in the past, Williamson did actually connect with a few today. Progress

Yep, not worried as such. He's just going through rather rough patch. We all know what he's capable of, he'll be back to his old self in time...

It really is such a pleasure to see him play for us. The spark and flair he gives us is so important to the point that we'd be rather fucked without him.
