but he just did a good

Tiote, good covering, you legend

Make a sub ffs

Hope this doesn't hide the fact we need a good striker and a left back. Our attack has been crap. Get Obertan off, he's invisible.

Barton was actually nearly onside there...

Isn't Cabaye a free-kick specialist? We have a few now, decent.

There is a reason. He's Barton. there is a reason he's Joey Barton 1 second

BEST LEFT BACK SINCE ENRIQUE

Guti merking people

Danny Simpson like a man possessed.

I know it's early doors, and I'm willing to admit (later) that this may be a bit knee-jerk, but his absence has really thrown off our game IMO. We've lost all comfort on the ball at the back. No more triangles to take the ball out of our defence down the flank with Tiote, Gutierrez, Enrique triangles. Just looks a bit stale, with limited options when we try that now - when we try at all. Definitely. Jonas, interestingly, is playing very deep. Probably to do with Ryan Taylor being poor (tbf, he is out of position).

Our defence looks shot without Enrique. Desperately need a left-back, it's ridiculous really.

Wes Brown is fucking crap

haha, beanhead

Ameobi and Obertan are turgid. Bring on Ba, I say.

Krul lad, get in

Don't hurt Cabaye

That was fucking great Stevie

I miss Enrique

WOOFT Cabaye, good shot

Why are people going on about Ameobi being amazing? He's not done anything. Always the same.

Obertan, gets ball, forgets how to play.

Didn't realise he was on
