We have two very capable LBs though, not to use either would be a mistake I think. Having all of our 3 acceptable CBs on the pitch at once is also not a good idea. Completely agree to be honest, but if we're fielding a strongest possible defence, at this time I think that's it and wouldn't be surprised to see Pardew use it. I do also think that MYM will be in the team more often than he's not, wherever it be across the back four (regardless of Taylor's fitnees). I'm also leaning towards Haidara over Santon as well to be honest. I like Santon but can't help but feel he's a bit of a liability defensively and he's also becoming predictable going forward.

As much as I'd rather MYM be in the middle, I think our strongest back four is probably Debuchy, Taylor, Colo, MYM.

Personally think he's being sold a little short by those saying he's a Championship player. He's more often than not been able to do a job for us.

Agreed, but I don't think there's any need to sell him unless he want's regular first team games.

And I do think he is good enough at this level personally. Certainly as a squad player. He keeps it simple and knows his limitations.

I like Perch, would rather he stayed. More often than not does an acceptable job wherever he plays. Other than an utterly horrendous start for us, I can't say I recall seeing him play and feeling like he was out of place in the team or ever the worst player on the pitch, both this season gone and the 5th place season.

Bit harsh scoring 6 pens in a row and still losing

Booooooooo

Wheeeey!

Chip?

Nice!

Naaaaat

He's missing

Good pen too.

Fucking Italians

Loving Xavi's little horns

Fuck!

Love

Italy looking good here.

On the plus side I guess all our foreign players won't have a fucking clue who Joe Kinnear is...

I have no issue whatsoever with it, and if it keeps him on the straight and narrow then I would encourage it - but that doesn't mean I want to see a load of religious based posts on my Instagram as I simply have no interest in it. Don't follow him then I'm not, which was why I said I was going to un-follow him... What happened here, I wasn't even criticising the bloke
