In this spell hwere we've scored three, Butt hasn't touched the ball. Coincidence? I think not. Khizanish looks a classy player. Ton of composure. Nice pick up.

This keeper's hatin' on Ranger something evil man!

Andy Carroll!!! :lol: :lol:

Ryan Taylor finally pays us back!!!! Awesome!!!

This little diamond midfield with Guthris instead of Butt would be very interesting. Nolan in behind a front two ould be something.

Well done there Smithy.

Nolan you beast!!! What a cut back. 2 Goals.

Butt took us down last year. I keep on saying it. If he is out injured last season, at the very worst we just manage to stay up. He is a disgusting footballer. To think he kept out Smith all of last year is laughable. Not to say Smith was excellent in the prem but he was never as bad as Butt. Today yet again we will all have the privelege of watching him make us loo unspeakably bad. If we're lucky he won't cost us the game.

Nicky Fucking Butt!!! Penalties and freekicks galore. Fucking disgrace.

Butt is ruining everything!!! Why do we have to put up with this.

Duff off injured after 9 minutes.

Carroll should be squaring that back rather than shooting. That was daft tbh.

Good defending by IlliVanilli there.

Ranger not on the left, hes upfront Use your eyes man! He's playing from the left.

Ranger on the left. I knew it! All so Butt can be shoe horned in. Frustrating!

Butt in the team ... I think we all know what kind of performance to expect then. I gurantee you this is going to be a 4-3-3. Ranger will be played from the left in a front three with Carroll central and Raylor on the right. All this just so Nicky Butt could be forced into the team. Pretty despicable.

Jay Simpson ...

Ranger and Carroll up front, so that's 2. Guthrie Nolan Smith Geremi in midfield, so that's 4. Enrique, Colo, S Taylor and R Taylor, so that's 4. Cheers guys. Guthrie must be on the left then. Makes far more sense than how we started.

Shearer was right to want to ditch him. Absolute waste of time and effort. Just in the way of Guthrie's progress right now.

Wait ... so who is on the left now? Guthrie? Still 4-5-1?

This guy is actually our best player imo. Always gets shafted once these geraitrics return to fitness though.

Has taken to the league so easily. Looks like a definite upgrade on Toure. Major goalscoring threat.

This is just stupid. Why a 4-5-1 at home. To think I was excited when I saw the starting lineup. Didn't realise he wasn't playing Loven upfront. I saw an article in the journal where Hughton has described Nolan as number 10 He clearly wasn't joking as he keeps playing the legless donkey off the front man.

Why play him on the wing and expect him to track back if he's short of match fitness then? This is quite annoying. I just hope we get the 3 points.

Can anyone confirm how we are currently lined up? 4-4-2 or 4-5-1?
