I think that was the best I've ever seen him do for us, in both an attacking and defensive sense. His final ball was still crap but he actually attempted some dribbles and was good defensively.

Haidara's been excellent.

Sissoko man, such a player.

Pardew trying to get Colo's attention

MYM has excellent reflexes.

Playing them at their own game

Strong, quick and seems to read the game fairly well. He's looking impressive.

I think he started well, but then in typical Shola fashion, got tired and they've crowded out the middle, meaning they're getting second balls which has rendered him useless since.

Half of two halves really, we started well and they've come back into it, they've not created much mind. We need to stop the hoofs however, they were effective for a period but they've cottoned on well.

Of course, we'd be the first ones booked

Great play! Sissoko man, we've needed that.

They've got Sissoko well covered in the middle, we're not giving him the ball to his feet enough.

Why is Cisse on the wing today man? It's not even a necessity.

We're letting them get under our skin a bit.

We're lacking that bit of presence in the middle, perhaps Sissoko should drop a little deeper.

Get in Mapou!

Close!

This commentator man, thinks that's Cisse again.

I thought he was a little too deep at times on Thursday, he was coming to get the ball off defenders more than Tiote, it should be the other way round IMO.

I love the way he drives the team forward with a quick turn and burst. It's just a shame the wide outlets he was feeding it in to on Thursday were crap. I thought it was strange he had a 20 minute spell on the right from the beginning of the second, he's a pure central player for me, whether that's behind Cisse or a bit deeper alongside Cabaye.

Bloody hell, supposed experts on the game.

Class from Pirlo.

Brilliant player, there was a great variety of top centre backs in his day but he was still one of the best. It's sad to see that area lacking quality these days.
