Jose beats Ben Arfa

We seem somewhat capable of stringing more than two passes at a time together today Improvement

Whenever I see a ball hit one of our defenders in the box I'm like "yeah, that's going to trickle into the back of the net."

Oh well, at least we actually hit Taylor's head with the ball. Progress.

Obviously this had to be the day that Liverpool started playing like Barcelona.

QPR

Nolan man. What a beast

Wilshire

Good to know we're not the only team concedes headers to Patrice Evra.

That and that goal during the 4-1 when he "sent Tainio to fucking Alaska," as someone on here so aptly described.

Had a lot of ability but also no mental fortitude whatsoever. Was pretty good in his first two seasons. Went completely anonymous and was probably contemplating his next move the moment things started going to shit.

Did some pretty decent stuff and some absolutely cringeworthy stuff. To be fair, even "mixed bag" is a significant improvement for this guy.

I agree that it's not tactical. These are mostly the same tactics as last year. For some reason people look unfit and uncoordinated. It feels like pre-season. It's inexplicable and frustrating.

Fyp. DAT ASSist

My thoughts exactly. Harsh given that Shola had an assist. Cisse was completely invisible before having the goal ricochet in off his arse. I'm not saying that Ameobi is a better player or anything but if you asked me who contributed more to today's game I think it's pretty obvious.

Fantastic player but it's visible even on the television when he's decided "ah, not our day... fuck it." Past a certain point in the game you just knew he was going to lose the ball every time.

We know he's not completely stupid, but this is indeed starting to get irritating.

Genuinely terrible. Really don't know what's wrong with us but oh well, three points this week.

Was contemplating starting a Pardew Out thread for about thirty seconds. Then OMG WTF happened.

That looks familiar

Santon

rushing home for this. with my luck we'll probably be two down before I get through the front door

Surely one of those energetic forward runs will actually come to something before the end of the season.

Love having two games of football a week. Love slightly less the fact that one of them is always on at 3~4am

A different ref wouldn't have given a red, but Tiote's got no business keeping his foot in taking a gigantic lunge after the whistle has gone. He knows he has a reputation, he needs to be more careful. It's as simple as that.
