We played in Europe and came home to win in the league.

Negative, we were poor. Positive, it's over.

Fair point, change 6 to 5 and 5 to 4.

We've seen Santon defend at left back, we haven't seen Anita in that position.

You don't know that Anita is our best option at left back, the probability is that Santon is our best bet.

You're right, get in, Reading have twice as many points after 6 games than they had after 5.

You're looking at this season in isolation, the results last season were better than the performances a lot of the time.

Pity we didn't give the league cup a go.

It's frustrating that fans can see things that the manager can't.

That wouldn't be any different.

Pardew needs to manage Ba, he played wide left in a front 3 and was getting chances and just looked like his luck had run out. Ba was getting chances that were going wide, hitting somebody or going over the top, he was burrying the same chances from the same position when he was on his brilliant run. To allow him (Ba) to think he can't play in that position is costing us as a team and it doesn't have to be the case.

I doubt it has anything to do with the player, we changed it during the game against Norwich then had Perch back on the right later in the game. Unless Pardew does that in the hope that Anita forgets about it.

The thought of 8 years of this does nothing for me and I'll be surprised if he can change, he did it towards the end of last season but he's reverted to type.

Anita said he would play anywhere to help the team.

I'm not sure that's true.

I'm not looking forward to this after today

I think a team is always a reflection of the manager, he dictates the play.

He should have started today.

Have you seen it? I'm guessing it's a mobile phone you've used.

Krul will make no difference, Harper has done well with his distribution.

Harper was throwing the ball out when he first came in to the team and it looks like it's been coached out of him, the team are playing the way they play for a reason and I don't think it's down to the players.

Only 2922 days to go.

Worst formatted post of the year.

He had nothing to work with, even when he was given the ball he usually had 3 or 4 players around him and he was getting the ball when he had players right up to him rather than in space. He's one player and we're far too reliant on him because of our deficiencies elsewhere.

I'd rather get deserved draws or wins.
