Sick of fucking mistakes costing us goals, rarely good play that does us. Always causing ourselves trouble. Also how can we not string attacks together. always look desperate in final 3rd

we are clueless going forward

why did they ever worship MONg, just because he liked them ? He has made them shitter since bruce

the scum look so one paced apart from sessegnon n rose. Johnson is terrible as is Graham

1983, 4 year old against Portsmouth I think

Class, they may be good but i want us to play good teams, good games to watch

He looks a very good backup keeper for us, looks stable enough after nervy 1st game, Distribution much better than 1st game, growing in confidence, as are the players with him

We need to rotate. I think it's time to start thinking about resting Sissoko/Cabaye in order for them to be fit for Europa League. I'd have no problem with Campbell starting, he'd offer more going forward than Jonas/Shola/Papiss whom we've previously seen in that position. Marveaux deserves a start. He might be knackered from last night though, worked his bollocks off. I think Jonas looks better in that central position than out wide tbh, wouldn't be against this as he is quite disciplined. Would maybe start Marveaux on left with Gouffran on right

Can't forget we have not conceded a goal in last 4 European games, even if we have only scored 2 goals we are proving hard to beat, if we can add that edge and ruthlessness to attacking play we could get through to final. Still a long shot I think

Would like Benfica or Basel

He's managed to get through the rough period with us, hope next season he can evolve our play and start to progress us, he will have no excuses. Only problem I really still have is our attacking play which tends to be a bit static, I just hope he can solve that next year as we could be a right force if we keep our players (Difficult to keep Cabaye if Man U come sniffing) and add another Striker and a Winger (We were crying out for a natural winger last night)

The one thing letting us down is ideas in the last third, we controlled the ball well in 2nd half, calm in possession but in final third our moves to often break down because of a lack of movement and drive. If we sort that out we will be a hell of a team, our defence is growing with every game and Mbiwa looks fantastic. Need Ben Arfa back big style, could be difference between going out and getting to final

blatantly Gouffran

Could we possibly see Ben Arfa, Sissokho, Cisse, Marveux

Fine, we'll just buy Lukaku off them Would love to have Lukaku like, think he will only get better and better

What a bunch of oddballs they all are, horrible looking http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BFHHxVPCYAE4oEn.jpg

I think we will beat Wigan, Fulham, Scum, West Ham and pick up a couple of draws. I wouldn't put it past us to beat Liverpool/Arsenal and lose to crap teams though

We have started to control games a lot more recently, keeping possession much better and cutting down so many long balls, although there were quite a few yesterday they were much better kicks from Elliott than Krul. I still wish we could go 1-0 up and go on to score a few more, at the moment it seems we concede first in every game and have to fight back from that. We need to be more ruthless up front and work harder to stretch teams but since January it has been encouraging compared to the shit that was served up prior to that. Pardew has improved with his tactics etc (Still not enough), I just hope he can start to develop the way we play for rest of season and push on next year

Reading look done for, have to play 4 of the current top 6 Qpr have to play all 3 teams around them so still possible for them to get out of it. I can still see it being bottom 2 plus Wigan, Villa or Southampton. the rest will be safe I reckon (Although would love to sit back and watch the scum get dragged in

Managed to get 6 tickets together in leazes, none together elsewhere in ground like. Would imagine they will open up the upper tiers

I agree it was down to trying to make things happen but it was simply impatience on his side. Sometimes you have to play it simple if the pass isn't on. I told you just a couple of days ago that pass completion rate is a rubbish statistic, stop using it. It's not rubbish. If you're AM and ST can't consistently find a NUFC shirt, we will struggle to assert consistent pressure. especially at home to a side like Stoke. It really, really is as it doesn't take into account what types of passes that are being made. I'm sure someone like S. Taylor has a very high pass completion ratio, but how much of that consists of back passes to the keeper? It's simply not useful when talking about a creative player whose task it is to set up goals, Sissoko plays so so high up the pitch for us, an area that is crowded with opposition players (especially against Stoke), and his task is to find the decisive pass. Give me someone with a 40% completion rate whose passes consists of potential goal scoring opportunities more often than not than someone who'll play the safe pass in that position. Everyone has highlighted why his passing stat wasn't great. Impatience on the ball. It's about finding the right pass. Compare the passing of other #10's. Wilshere gets 85% one a good game, 75% on a poorer game. Mata's consistently mid 80's. Toure in the 80's. Scroll through their passing stats to see when they've had less than 80, then less than 70. It's rare. And most likely a sign of having a poor/impatient game on the ball. Trying to make things happen is great but if it doesn't work out, the team loses the pressure and momentum. In that case it's probably best to keep the ball. I'm not saying it must be in the high 90's. For an AM, that probably means he's taking no risks. But at 69%, he's taking too many risks and is losing the ball too much. He's not getting on the ball as much either. It's because he is always looking to play forwards and trying to make things happen, agree he could do with just tapping it off and being a bit more patient, but I also think he's fucking boss

Got to win and think we will, reckon it will be 3-1 with Sissokho and Cabaye on score sheet

Looks quality, good to have options at full back now, Santon now needs to really work hard or else this lad may take his place. Looking forward to next season with the bigger squad we have. Once again we have Gouffran, Debuchy, Santon, Jonas, Cisse? coming back for game against Stoke with Tiote not having played much.

When fully up to speed in Premier League, he will be immense, same with Sissokho, considering it's their first couple of months.

He needed a game at some point tbf, he's got 60 mins under his belt now which should help him and the team going forward. True, just looked so far off it, may have been better bringing him on rather than starting him
