this. i'm all for bringing in someone to take his place in the squad but he should be kept on as back up. if we move on every player that isnt good enough for the first 11 we end up with a threadbare bench like we saw today.

Then you must have missed the match tbh mate. what did he do? Had a shot cleared off the line, played some decent crosses, provided width, supported Simpson well, relieved pressure with an out-ball. The width part is the most important for me. i saw him tracking back at one point which i'd applaud. have a read back of what you've posted and ask if there's anything there that you wouldnt expect of him anyway, thats not a particularly good game, its just being on the pitch and not being s***. i saw him put one cross in, on the one occasion where he tried to take cole on. fair enough cole's a hell of a LB but he just doesnt try and get at people in this league which is his biggest problem You've got to be kidding? Ashley Cole is a 'hell of a LB'? He's the best LB in the world, and Routledge provided him with enough problems. He definitely improved the way that we play offensively. and there's a massive difference between being a hell of a left back and the best in the world is there? straw clutching there mate. what problems exactly? standing in front of him for a bit with the ball and then turning and passing inside? that's a full backs dream. i might accept that he 'improved the way we play offensively', i'm assuming you mean over barton? my point is he didnt do anything i would consider above average, for the whole game. You're complaining about him having an 'average' game against the Champions and the best LB in the world because........? i'm not complaining about it. i'm disagreeing with those that are saying he had a particularly good game. because........in my opinion he didnt do anything special. Fair enough, I think your opinion is totally unfair like, but ok. i've got no problem with that whatsoever mate. i just think the reaction to him today is more down to his ineffectiveness (word?) so far this season than to anything out of the ordinary he did today. i'd dearly like him to start providing the service we need but he doesnt seem to have the confidence to take people on, and i'm not just basing that on today's game.

i think i missed routledge having a good game

brilliant result, looking forward to barton coming back now

that we just got a draw in (not even sure 'drawn's a word tbh )

agggggghhhhhhhhhh

carroll centre half again!

if we get a chance to keep possession we should take it tbh, guthrie

thats called anticipation shola, it means you get the ball

ugh this is horrible viewing

fucking hell

ahhhhh, thank god for that

and shola trotting around with a captain's armband on, absolutely tragic

HUGHTON, GET. HIM. OFF MAN

This. 68 minutes ago imo

GET THAT FUCKING CLOWN OFF NOW!

ROUTLEDGE! DO THAT MORE FFS!!!

this is better, brilliant positivity from jonas

really missing senior pro's like nolan and barton imo, just need to get in their faces more and not show them so much respect.

This. Or maybe even put Ranger on? Not for quality, but more for his energy and hassling, running. Fucking barge or what?? Nice play from Tiote though. yep, or ranger. either change would help us, shola's doing fuck all, and more importantly isnt even trying to get involved.
