Ronaldo

Let's just hope he's fit.

And the direction on them is generally hopeless. It isn't one of his strengths.

That's completely irrelevant. We saw last season how inaccurate they are.

Well firstly, Carroll's flick-ons are terrible. And secondly, Ranger doesn't have the awareness or the finishing ability to take adavntage.

What?

Shola is a lazy b****** when he starts, I'd rather see him making an impact like he did today, he rarely does than when starting. Fair enough, but you don't give Nile Ranger and Andy Carroll the responsibility of getting goals at this level.

Have Shola and Carroll played well together when they've started? Ranger's no striker, not at this level. Our best bet is to whip as many crosses into the box as possible and hope Shola and Carroll can make good contact.

Ranger and Carroll up top is almost as bad.

Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini © Enrique Routledge Tiote Barton Jonas Carroll Ameobi Is what i'd like to see. We'll win the game with that team.

The frailties up front, in midfield and at RB, far outweigh those posed by Mike Williamson. He's nowt special and in an ideal world he'd be in on the bench, but you're being very, very harsh on the lad.

Perhaps, but we have far bigger concerns.

Williamson is OK.

Injured.

all that proves is that you couldn't/wouldn't see it when he was playing poorly. He most certainly wasn't playing poorly at that time, tbh.

The signing is baffling. The selection is not.

According to who, Lovejoy?

Ignore the daft idiot.

Routledge came on and we had two wingers, we went from 0-2 to 2-2, the first coming within 5 minutes of him coming onto the pitch. 1-2.

Valencia beating Barca 0-1.

We tried it last season against shocking opposition - it didn't work offensively and left us exposed in defence. Moronic decision from Hughton.

£90 on Klitschko to beat Briggs tonight on points. Returns £540.

Chewing. Brilliant interview, like.

I couldn't care less. As long as someone comes in and finishes his hard work.

What on earth does that have to do with Coloccini?

Strachan is surely going to be sacked, Boro look like they're going down.
