It isn't 4-5-1.

That's Abdul Keita.

Lampard can get up and down the pitch reasonably quickly so can be part of a pass and move midfield. Nolan trundles back and trundles forwards too slowly but he's effective in dead ball situations or goalmouth scrambles. We won't play good passing football with Nolan in the side, but we can be effective like Stoke. I see the point your getting at, but wasn't his second goal yesterday a goalmouth scramble Well I said he's effective in golamouth scrambles so yeah.

Well, no. Wednesday night is the perfect time to give Vuckic a 90 minute run out.

Lampard is 2nd in the Premier League's all-time assists table. He does an awful lot more than get goals, no matter what you think of him in a England shirt.

Don't you mean 22?

Like a chubby scouse Michael Owen? Better comparison than Sheringham. But Owen cannot finish anymore, such a shame for the lad, and English football.

Hughton called Nicky Butt a 'very, very important player' before sticking him on the bench for the final 3 months of his contract.

He's a good finisher and is usually in exactly the right place. Apart from that, he's abysmal. He's a striker, basically.

Since never.

Email her that.

We're still in need of individual creativity, despite today's overwhelming success.

Why would you play Smith? Surely someone like Inman should get the nod.

An assist?

His crossing is generally good.

People saying it's pathetic didn't come down to Villa 15 months back.

I remember two excellent balls into the box, one at the Gallowgate on about 70 mins in particular.

Hughton won't drop Colo, nor should he, he's our best CB. Keegan had the right idea, you always need one defender who can play the ball out from the back.

Aye, i love the lad, very good performance. He's the type of player we've been crying out for, for a good few years.

What a guy!

Course i'm kidding. But it's very good to see him back in the fold, he's a good player.

Who the f*** wanted that? Ronaldo, man. We've been through this. Eh? Half the forum would have taken that in January.

I was also far from Carroll's biggest detractor. Losers like TT just want to prove folk wrong to trivialise their own sorry position, even on a day like today.

Incredible to think this is the same player who only managed 4 in the first half of last season. I've never seen such a vast improvement. He'll rarely have it as easy as today but I'm chuffed for the lad and very optimistic about his contribution this season after seeing that.

Great player.
