Coloccini is a much better defender than Taylor. He's as likely to make a mistake but he reads the game much better than Taylor does and he's better at fitting into a defensive unit than Taylor.

Im so so tired i need something for tomorro!! Hehehe http://plixi.com/p/65967836 WayneRoutledge Wayne Routledge Hello Ldn... #nananiiii 36 minutes ago

I hope that we do go with that as our starting 11.

It's not just O2, Orange is crap as I couldn't get onto anything in the ground. I was getting a 3G signal but couldn't load anything and it was just as bad outside the ground after the match.

I was at the match when I heard the team, not everybody is an internet fan, how the hell can I back it up. I don't see why I have to back it up anyway as I wouldn't say that I did if I didn't.

The proof was that when we brought Ranger on we looked far more dangerous and actually scored one of our chances. Something we were unable to do when Nolan was playing off Carroll. We had plenty of chances which were falling to Nolan that went to shit as soon as the ball went anywhere near him. Playing a different formation may not have stopped them getting the 2 goals but it would have given us a greater chance of pulling the deficit back. Once we made the change we have movement up front and two targets, instead of one.

Yes.

Routledge played well today.

I heard it 3 times in level 7.

It didn't help that our movement was poor up front, Routledge, Jonas, Tiote and Barton were all looking for movement and struggling at times. Jonas isn't great but he's not our biggest problem either.

The point is that the forwards had plenty to feed off, the problem was that for far too long the support forward wasn't up to the task.

We put plenty of balls into the box today so the wingers did what they could.

I hope that you're waiting a long time before that happens.

Are you sure? I thought the possession was given away when the ball bounced off Nolan, I'll watch MOTD tonight as I might be wrong.

His pace today seemed worse than normal, God know what his calorie intake had been like these last few days. It was like watching the QE2 doing sea trials today when he tried to change direction.

Is that what I said? We packed the midfield and didn't have enough outlets up front, you may have noticed that we had our best play when we went 2 up front and took the game further up the field for longer periods.

Agreed, I can't understand going 5 in the middle and we paid for it from the off. We would have been much better off if we'd played our own game and gave them more to think about.

You're wrong.

He did seem to lose his temper once late in the 2nd half.

I thought that i'd seen him before the match and he was walking OK, I tried to get a photo of him but didn't know how to use my phone camera until he'd gone.

I thought that he played well and did all that could be expected of him.

He had the ball at or near his feet at least 3 or 4 times and did nothing with it, did the ball bounce off the back of his head in the build up to the 2nd goal? He's a waste of space when he doesn't score and part of the reason that we didn't win today.
