:lol:

no, you're not Got raped by a 17 debutant. Aye, very good. missed that

Harper played well under Shearer although before that looked lethargic, granted. Harper has played 5 bad games for us in his entire career here, the criticism aimed at him is pretty unfair to say the least

Harper isn't a bad keeper tbh, gets a lot of unfair criticism. Go back a a year and many on here thought he was one of the better Keepers in the league

I think you've missed the point Messi, as usual.

6ft giant? I'm 6'1, does that make me the geordie godzilla?

what absolute nonsense. 10 years ago Harper was on hell of a young keeper. Anyone remember his performance against Boro away, that incredible save onto the bar? So easy to take a few good saves, and then make such a massive judgement. He's looks like a great shotstopper, fair enough. But if you think 135 minutes of that makes him better than Harper, you basically don't understand goalkeeping or even football. The jury is still out, and so it f***ing should be

no, you're not

looked dangerous to me

With a better partner Carroll will. specuation mate. Realistically Carroll has played with better players than that useless c*** and still looked out of his depth It's also speculation that they both won't do anything of course. Speculation with a fairly solid basis though. Not exactly throwing darts at the board. Carroll does an ok job but he isn't a goalscorer, which is what we badly, badly need

James - That's the worst bunch of match ratings i've ever read, well done sir

Did you watch the game? He clearly isn't ready for the shirt full-time. I'm not saying Harper is Pagliuca or owt like. jesus calm down man, its not as if we decide if hes playing or not right this minute. its just nice to see a promising performance from a young player I completely agree, but most are suggesting he should be our no.1 after that

Did you watch the game? He clearly isn't ready for the shirt full-time. I'm not saying Harper is Pagliuca or owt like. We would have lost that match with Harper in goal for 2nd half. Fact. Even if he makes some errors in judgement, he makes brilliant saves that I just cant ever see Harper making. Agility and reflexes are far better. And ofcourse even when he drops a few balls he's still superior to Harper in the air. Keeping is about safety, first and foremost. And dont type 'FACT' when you're basically making a stupid guess

I worry because those 2 strikers wont do anything at all this season

He spent the entire game giving the ball away in very good positions, he's a sunday league player and each one of our managers in the last 5 years should have forced him out

Incredibly useless. Shite on the ground, in the air, no pace, no movement, no idea how to use strength, cant mark, cant read the game HAS to be the worst striker in this league, without seeing 80% of them play

Harper 6 R Taylor 5 S Taylor 6 Coloccini 6 Enrique 7 Jonas 5 Smith 8 Nolan 6 Duff 6 Carroll 6 Ameobi 0 - get this useless w***** out the club, ruined us today and will all season. Krul 7 Barton 7

nonsense looks one hell of a prospect though, in fact he reminds me of Shay Given at 21, in both strengths and weaknesses. There's a reason most keepers peak at 30+ and we've just seen why. Needs a lot more games and cannot be thrown in just yet at this level Took 3 or 4 crosses with ease, how many did harper get to are you blind man? On 3 occassions he came for the ball and didn't deal with it, putting us in trouble. What is it with this ridiculous hype we create for all the youngsters? Based on that performance he's a very good shotstopper, as he should be at 21. He's also nowhere near the finished article and the last thing he needs is to be made first choice, it'll hurt us and him.

Well, that game will serve as HOW-TO manual for all championship defenders who'll face Jonas this season. Rough him up a bit, call him names. Easy pickings.

improved in the second half but like his compatriot Jonas will find the physicallity of this league, very, very difficult. WBA are arguably the least physical in this league

Hughton is such a coward man, what an absolute wanker
