Ronaldo

Not to mention the fact he's our best CB. Currently he's our best fit CB for the next game, Colo is obviously the best CB at the club. I'm guessing this is what you meant? In a sense, yes. Though Colo's days as a PL-level athlete are done. What does that make Taylor though? Arguably slower than Colo and can't remember the last time he had a run of games without getting injured. Taylor is no where near as good as Colo. Ronaldo currently has it in for Colo as he gets a bit slower despite him still being a good Premier League performer. I don't, I love Colo. He's just blatantly not the captain or defender we need any more.

Taylor's a much better athlete, and far quicker.

Team in performing better with a better player shocker. So the rest of the squad should be consistently flirting with relegation, despite none of the dreadful Europa League?

We got players behind the ball and competed well, it's hardly tactical genius.

If we hadn't got Remy we'd have probably lost at Villa and Cardiff and would be sitting on 5 points from 8 games. Pardew hasn't improved a thing.

It'll be Taylor and Williamson according to Pardew.

I don't get this 'understanding the importance' guff. It's the manager's job to motivate the players to put maximum effort in.

0-6 = realistic.

Nobody said it didn't count. Just wait till he's consistently contributed to us controlling games. Something he hasn't done for approaching 2 years.

Nah, was a good tackle.

S.Taylor against Sunderland in the 1-1 at home. Very much a dive.

Likewise people talking about it being a great result. A draw at home to Liverpool?

Yeah - very strange. Was a cracker. It was very well hit but the keeper has to do much better. Totally disagree with this - in general, a strike from 30 yards does pose questions about a keeper's competence but if you saw the shot from behind Cabaye, as on the TV replay, you can see that the bend of the ball and the placement of it gave Mignolet NO chance of stopping it - he dived in good time, but it was just too far to his right for him to reach. One of the best long-range goals I've seen, in the class of Arie Haan of Holland who hit 2 amazing strikes in the 78 WC in Argentina. He misjudged it because of the bounce. No chance of stopping it, ffs. Whether you like it or not, he had NO chance of stopping it - Cabaye has hit too many long range strikes for them to be classed as keeper errors or flukes. Quintessential Merlin post, this.

Can I suggest that you all wait till he's put in a good performance in a game which doesn't suit his limited strengths perfectly, not to mention not being an idiot and contributing to us conceding?

Great strike and totally intentional of course, but it's poor keeping.

As if Kinnear's role has anything to do with the commercial side of the club.

I thought you were a warrior, Baba. Right to pretend to be felled? I didn't think you'd be into that sort of thing at all.

Bit harsh taking cheap shots at Froggy, like. It's the Man U fans from elsewhere in England that I can't stand. Anyway, carry on. Ideally Arsenal or Spurs win the league but I'd far rather Man U did it than totally plastic clubs like City or that pretentious Portuguese cunt.

If we can't beat this shower, man.

Very aggressive tonight, HV. No need for it at all.

That's about right.
