He'd be brilliant for Leon Best, that's for sure.

i don't think any keeper would save that more than 2 times out of ten nevermind Krul saving it 10 times out of 10, it was a glancing downward header from about 5 yards. it was virtually in the back of the net before the keeper knew anything about it! Krul gets to that with his better reactions, agility and wingspan. No doubt about it. Harper almost got to it, and those are his weak points.

Can you imagine how much better of we'd be if we'd had those 220 games, man? Clueless fucking idiot Souness is.

Yorkie's going to a game? The fuck's going on here?

Better.

Krul's far more assertive, thought. Harper doesn't really have the height or agility to dominate his box, but his handling and judgement are still very good.

Not really a criticism of Harper so much, but Krul saves Reading's second 10 times out of 10.

Would have made Pardewball function more effectively. Cop-out tbh. The players are still there for this side to work without being so direct. Fine. But you need a Plan A and B and that's what Carroll would've given us.

Tavernier looked abysmal and good on Tiote for telling him to buck his ideas up.

That comment at the bottom of the Robert article, man.

You think everyone bar us and Stoke are decent.

No comparison between those two. One's looked like a lost sheep and the other has shown pace, creativity and balls.

Could have been a different game, I'm not gonna research it. He's no full back, though.

Plus, I have no problem with Jonas being a squad player, saying he can fill in at LB does little to strengthen his case for starting as a midfielder or winger.

He seems to get Sky's MOTM award regardless when we play badly. Don't ask me why, but I'm surprised you'd even resort to mentioning that.

That's part of it. The fact we play people like Jonas against such teams is the bigger problem. Depends where you play him. We don't need him in midfield either when Tiote's fit. I'm still hoping Anita pushes him out of the side but apparently he's captain material. He was excellent in a three man midfield last year, and very useful whenever he dropped back to left back too. Didn't he play LB against Norwich? I remember him being awful that game. He gets too much credit for tenacity, doing the basics and basically being a very professional, likeable guy. There are players out there at far smaller clubs who have those same attributes with the creativity we badly need in games like yesterday.

The sad thing is there's plenty more like you at SJP.

We'd be best off just shooting from 50 yards. Ridiculous tactic at the best of times, let alone when it relies on such an inept player going forward.

Santon's easily been one of our best 3 players so far this season.

We didn't do that last season.

True. Rarely when we win do we do that.

Not even sure he does 'benefit'. He's just such a great all round striker you can't stop him scoring.
