What other cunt sells a club like a car? Roll up, roll up!

Yes but what if we could find someone who can work hard and play football? Then we'd play him. You could say that about the £5m centre forward currently starting as well. Or the £150k goalkeeper, and the right-footed left back from the scrap heap. We have a lot of first team players who aren't good enough at this level, which isn't surprising considering what they cost. We can't stop discussing a players merits because we don't have anyone better. I wouldn't drop him either but he's a weak link in our side and we should look to upgrade. Him "working hard", doesn't cut it for me.

Noticed Tadic strolling past him in the first half and getting a shot off. Merino and Hayden next week.

Stop Zaha.

We are just as likely to be pushing the top six as we are to be dropping into a relegation battle. I think we will continue along at a steady pace and that's fine by me. Our ability to bounce back after a defeat is key and one of Rafa's best assets IMO. He keeps the players calm and focused regardless of the result. Really enjoying this season.

I don't understand this "he works hard" thing. Since when did pressing the opposition become the only aim of a number 10? I was always a big fan of Perez but he hasn't reached his potential and doesn't offer enough to the team. His main quality seems to be that hes not Diame. I suspect Rafa has already been looking for an upgrade. He won't say it publicly though.

What did Rafa say?

Heads up. Get the winner.

Daft from Lejuene.

Good sub.

Yedlin and Atsu giving the ball away. Here he comes.. ..

Rafa going mad.

Sub him quick Rafa.

Lucky boy.

Should be off.

Aye he's better than Shelvey.

Finish them off.

Bet he's never hit anything as sweet since he last had a shag.

Perez never used to be like this.

Considering how s*** Manquillo was supposed to be, I don't think he's a bad game for us yet. He's been fine. Can't remember him stopping a cross so far today. Equally as many crosses coming from Yedlins side.

We are bound to get a few chances in the second half.

Classic Rafa. Allowing the opposition to think they are dominating, whilst they knacker themselves out. We have Sexy Mikel on the bench too.
