Yes. He played there when he came on vs us And what does it tell about McLeish's ability?

I've got S.Warnock starting in my fantasy team and Adebayor as a first sub...with my luck Warnock will be subbed in at 89th minute :'(

Chances 3-5 for QPR with Blackburn 3 shots on goal

What an improvement Ba & Cisse does on our recent attacking play of Best & Shola! Hope it just doesn't take as long as it took with Santon for Pardew to play him...

You'll be wacthing the running style for a lot longer!!! Even if Shola's gone some day there's Sammy to keep the ghost of Ameobi family at SJP:)

And who says striker isn't a priority for us this window with Best and & Shola as our first choice? Fucking Shefki Kuqi is better than Shola

Who says players cannot be played out position? Looks like Colo and Willi are the only players at their natural position at the moment! Raylor is the best...switching position like crazy

And probably would do even better with Perch!

I'm really impressed. Most of our players seem to know where others will be, or have a good enough understanding of each other to be able to play so freely. Good stuff from Pards, considering 3 of our 4 'midfielders' on aren't starters. I'm really surprised. Maybe the pre cursor to even more of the same. Are you really that satisfied with our performance? Apart from like the last 5 mins it was totally shocking half!!!

I was also thinking what the hell is RAylor doing there! He was all over the pitch at one point

Need to get Shola off the pitch ASAP! He offers absolutely nothing at the moment. No replacement on the bench though but could change the formation or move HBA up

It's a fucking miracle how bad Ameobi really is in the air! How many aerial challenges he has won so far? 1 or 2 out of 20?

Fucking disgrace!!! Goal attempts 0-6 to QPR

Shola & Best up front....fucking frustration all day long!!!! No effort, no skill, no nothing. And it will probably take at least 70 minutes for Pardew to realise that we' not going to score with these 2

Tiote is way too up and down player. When's he's on form he's one of the absolute best and on a bad day he's totally shit. Definitely not worth 25million and the gap between a good and bad game is huge!

Doesn't help. Do people agree with me that speed is important for any second striker? Which is why I'm hoping he will turn into an iniesta type player on the left of a midfield 3 There are a few more important things for a second striker than speed I guess. How about passing, vision, creativity, dribbling just couple to mention? Doesn't some Jari Litmanen ring any bells? Always one of the slowest players on the pitch but the rest of his abilities made him one of the best players in world in his time! Maybe pace is more important in English football but it's not totally necessary to have

Started badly but improved a lot as the game progressed. Clearly had a mental issue to start against such a big team and ahead of HBA when the Frenchman was fit but dealt with it pretty nicely. At start looked very slow to react and was afraid to use his strenghts but is't that the case with every young player. Pards just has to go through this phase with Haris and I think he actually did better than Ben Arfa and our game died after the sub but I guess it was more down to Liverpool improving. Take Obertan(are someone still taking about Jonas' lack of final product?) out of the starting XI and replace him with HBA and keep Haris there as well

Apparently everything was agreed but not signed yet...

A club record 12K It shouldn't be a problem even for Ashley and in case Prior would make it in the team squad even for once there's a great re sale value then. However this looks even more desperate than the Kuqi signing. And what are the guys competing for the first team spot in the reserves thinking Seems like a decent finisher but the defences didn't look exactly good in "7 goals in 2 days" video clip. Well...Perch wouldn't make it there either!

No way Ashley's gonna pay over 5 million for a striker and pretty much everyone we've been linked to is valued double to that 5 million. I guess a swap deal Fraser Forster for Gary Hooper is a possibility! Anyway the most likely scenario will be just as in previous transfer windows that we're going to get linked with every player in the world and end up having Ba, Best, Shola and Loven to choose from. Might actually get Shefki Kuqi back...

Productive maybe but just as dangerous...Santon looks good going forward but think about it when HBA doesn't track back at all and Santon goes forward! Today Jonas covered a lot when Davide was attacking

And people are criticising Jonas for the lack of the final ball!

What the fuck makes him worth England U21? Are you really that bad at youth level?

His lack of pace I think...and it's very very important for a winger. He could be used as a winger but more like a wide midfielder and not a typical winger who goes past his marker and put a cross in

80% possession for much of the first half yeah. One of those where its more frustrating as we actually played pretty well, really shouldve won it. Could have been worse...Leverkusen had almost 80% of the ball today and they still managed to lose 0-3 at home to Nürnberg(worst team considering last 6 games)
