Neither Colo or Taylor were tested tbh. Colo's touch and composure are absolutely brilliant and the crowd really responsed to that a couple of times, wasn't really visible apart from that.

2nd gear all the way tbh. The default was to play the ball back to the defence at the first sign of any pressure and we retained the ball pretty well. Plymouth are absolutely terrible going forward and in defence and i'd expect nowt less than the dicking they got. Lovenkrands had 4 chances and scored 3, looked very sharp and very composed. Carroll had some nice touches but you'd put your house on him not scoring even against the shitest of defenders and it's becoming very tiresome. He had a go at Enrique twice and Nolan once for not picking him out when the reality of the situation is, his shooting is appalling and he's a poor option to give the ball to. Enrique motm behind Loven, him and Jonas linked up well as usual.

Jesus man, he looked somewhere between a very poor footballer and a complete fraud tonight.

Krul 7 R Taylor 6 S Taylor 6.5 Coloccini 6.5 Enrique 8 Pancrate 3 Butt 5 Nolan 5 Jonas 7.5 Lovenkrands 8 Carroll 5.5

Absolutely pathetic.

According to a lot on this board, he's worse than S Taylor. In which getting him would surely be realistic.

Doubt it, most on this board prefer to argue about what they haven't seen for themselves.

In an ideal world S Taylor would play RB next season with Coloccini alongside Van Buyten. But Simpson is far, far from the worst RB i've seen at the club, and could do ok in the premiership.

20K would be pretty damn good. I shall be going along.

Just putting things into perspective, £1.5m seems like a very, very low amount for a 29 year old with such a big reputation.

I know, but £1.5m is what Villa want for Harewood.

You make it sound as if they're in crisis like us. They're doing more business than anyone else in La Liga so far this month. Signed Tiago with Eduardo Salvio next.

Agree. I hope for ManU's demise because of their fans. Schadenfreude is a beautiful thing. Same, and because of their players, and manager, and basically everyone who's involved with the club.

Got to wonder why he's signing for peanuts.

Could easily happen this season.

Perhaps you should be looking at his last season in the premiership as a better indication.

Take Bramble out of the equation and that leaves Emmerson Boyce and Caldwell for the centre of defence. Basically begging to be relegated.

That's coming from him, not me.

Fucking hilarious, I know one. I spoke to him about Simpson when we signed him.

I agree tbh, he's looked very poor outside his own half for us.

Funny you say that, at Blackburn the concensus was that he was average defensively but good going forward.

The only team in the world i'd actually love to see fail.

Very good news if true.

Says you, who seems to watch as much english football as i watch Emmerdale.

I'm away from my 360, what's his Fifa rating out of curiosity?
