Ryan Taylor did nothing wrong at left back apart from not defending, Santon has shown some flaws in his game recently but he's also shown that he can defend. Jonas did as much defending at left back while Taylor was in that position as Taylor did.

Give over.

Routledge had everything to become a decent winger and you're right he didn't do enough, I still don't see an upgrade in Obertan, I've seen more negatives than positives with Obertan.

I thought that Swansea passed the ball around well but did noting much with it.

The coach likes to play long and direct. 'Center it into the box,' he's always saying.

Didn't Ben Arfa have a go about our style of football under Pardew?

This season while we have had 1 goal from Obertan, Routledge has scored the same in less starts. Routledge has 4 assists to the 3 Obertan has for us.

Routledge offers more than Obertan and I now know why my Man U supporting mate sent me a text when we signed him which contained noting more than a load of ha ha's, he was right.

He was doing OK until I praised him, so in an attempt to get his form going again, he's shit.

You're spot on with that, pity our manager seems to be so limited in his game plan which revolves around graft more than anything else.

We played like a team who were under no pressure and were letting our hair down, it was like a training match where nobody gave a shit about how they performed apart from the people who paid to travel to Spurs to watch the game.

I have huge concerns about him anyway.

It's all opinions anyway, I only find myself defending him because I don't think he's as bad as some make out. I think he's our current best right back and when we have our best 11 he becomes our weakest player because every other position has a better player in it. Santon plays well as home but he's a bit of a worry at times away from home like he was today but he'll get better with time.

I agree that he's proven to be a good squad player, he's played much better this season than I expected.

Is this place taking ages to load pages today?

I'm convinced that Ryan Taylor will start if he's fit, he's a "key midfielder."

I can't remember much about the Everton goal but I'll take your word for it. Goal line clearances must make a player better, I didn't say they made a player good.

He does make a habit of it.

That's good news, so we only need to get to 43 points to qualify for the CL.

How many points has he cost us?

He does very well to get from the edge of the opposition penalty area to clear off our line for somebody who most people reckon can't run.

People are on about how many points he's cost us, I've highlighted 2 that we've gained because of what he's done. That has nothing to do with defending at all, the clearances have.

Jonas was played on the right for part of the 2nd half and he was running down the right wing, he cut inside and sent the ball in with this left foot.
