Yeah, thanks for keeping hold of our 'big players' in the summer, Mike. Done us the world of good.

Still 5.

He's off.

There's that one out the window.

I don't think Taylor being fit and Colo staying constitutes a 'bit of luck' like.

What's the point of him staying out wide?

If we don't win I think that'll be it from me.

'One or two.'

Poor game but who cares. Great to have him here as he'll vastly improve us.

But this type of football is not what the players know. It's completely antithetical to everything the likes of Cisse, Cabaye, Marveaux and Anita have ever been taught. If one of them could actually make the runs we need we might look at little bit better. The 3 of them are far too similar, and all have the same weakness.

Yep. Near flawless today with what he had to deal with.

Krul 7.5 Debuchy 5 Williamson 7.5 Coloccini 7 Santon 8 Perch 6 Anita 5.5 Jonas 6 Marveaux 5.5 Obertan 5.5 Cisse 5

I do hope this is sarcasm from Michael Owen's no.1 fan.

We had nothing man. Teams with poorer players than us play some actual attacking football. Like who? We've got nothing breaking from midfield, nothing running in beyond Cisse, nowt out wide whatsoever. We've got a horrible lack of delivery and penetration in the players between Cisse and the defence. It's farcical, absolutely farcical. I'm fairly sure they wouldn't be playing like that if they'd not all been told to sit in front of the back four. That's all those players know, to be honest.

Must say, he along with Santon and Krul were the best of our lot today.

We have no idea how to utilise Cisse - he was totally isolated Who's there to support him? We simply don't have the players we need.

SkySports.com make up any old s***, man.

Maybe we don't carry an attacking threat because we've had one player with a history of getting goals in the side and none with a history of creating them? Just a thought, like.

Need Ben Arfa and a striker in ASAP. Frankly I'm not even sure that'll be enough.

Absolutely disgraceful. Why the hell is Cabaye taking that over Marveaux, man?

Santon's been absolute quality today.

80 mins and not one chance created.

Sore leg, soft as shit.
