Shola? They're going to tear through us here man. What a fucking idiot.

Seriously needs to get a hold of this. Drop Sissoko deeper man, you pleb.

Why are we just hoofing it? Our strength lies in our midfield.

Sissoko needs to drop a little deeper here. Looks like Pards has fiddled about too much to me.

Midfield all over the place, no protection so far.

Looks like he's changed to 4-4-1-1 to me, anyone else think this?

He's not switched the formation, has he?

Credit to Pards here, good performance.

I thought he was excellent that half.

Fantastic mover, as well as being comfortable on the ball. He's a huge, huge bargain.

Why exactly? He's a similar player to Diarra and Makelele, who played well in the position. He's not a bit like either of them, to be fair. In what sense? I'd say he's particularly similar to Lassana. Tenacious, quick and with good technique.

Why exactly? He's a similar player to Diarra and Makelele, who played well in the position.

Taylor's a good defender and Perch is the best only DM we have with Tiote away. f*** off, where do you think Anita played for Ajax? Hint: it's not the dynamic all action midfielder Pardew has tried to turn him into Anita's not a DM. Actually, he's our most experienced one.

While the team could be better, I'm still excited with the new players starting. There's enough there to get a result here.

The Perch decision is really shit. They're woeful man, just have a go at them.

Simply not picked because of his lack of height.

Anita dropped for playing well And Taylor thrown in again too. Shame about Marveaux.

Fucking Perch man

This is a very sensible post. However, when Agbonlahor starts running at Taylor from the half way line, and he backs off all the way back onto the goal line, allowing for Agbonlahor to square it to Benteke for a tap in, we'll all be raging. can't remember taylor really being done for pace, why should it happen now. if thats the case there's more chance it happening to colo. He got absolutely 'done' by Petrov about 5 years ago.

Villa have no midfield presence, no reason Anita can't do a holding job against them at all. He'd be better suited in all honesty, he's got recovery pace as they will break, especially if Agbonlahor starts.

I think they'll all do well, we very rarely pick up flops these days. I've made my opinion known about Gouffran and I think he's actually the biggest positional improvement we've got, as he's on a different planet to Shola as back up in the middle and is streets ahead of Obertan and Jonas on the wing in a 4-3-3 too. Plus he's simply a vital asset because he knows where the goal is, he's an automatic starter in my opinion, we've only got 1 proven goalscorer in the team apart from him.

Sissoko's obviously a very good player but (based on his time in France) this boy's simply a step ahead, I hope he showcases that over the next few months.

Come the end of the season, we'll be calling this lad the buy of the window. Fantastic footballer who will be phenomenal if he reaches his potential. No disrespect to our other imports, we've bought 4 other players in that all have quality but this one has that extra edge. We'd be mad to not play him tomorrow.

But what's that? Should have timed that run better Papiss man! At least a couple of yards offside! Ruled out. So true That scenario genuinely crossed my mind as I typed that as well.

We have possession in midfield with Cabaye on the ball, Gouffran dashes in from the left, YoCabs plays a defence splitting pass, Gouffran is one on one but slides it along to Cisse who strokes it in.
