All we know is a bit of commentary that said shola has a hamstring injury in the warm up and we want to name marveaux among the subs but we can't find him. So im guessing there is a short time where you can name your subs if someone is injured prior to kick off and we just didnt find him in time. damn.

I liked that we dropped cabaye into a pirlo role 2nd half as he was clearly fucked physically.

I was looking through all the transfers so far last night and thought Norwich looked very vulnerable. Think Chris might be in for a very tough year with them. Still will be nice when he returns to st.james'. Hope he gets a cracking reception.

Think Lukaku will be decent at west brom. Good signing for them.

The mohawk was looking glorious today. Adds to his intimidating presence in my opinion.

Yeah the only worry would be if he stormed out after finding out he wasn't in the squad but i highly doubt that was the case.

Was most likely left out because he is playing in midweek. I hope :S

very nearly ruined assou ekotto of all people for pace after giving him a head start. Showed just how confident he was feeling.

i guess my disliking of all things liverpool has grown over time but i do enjoy supporting who ever they are playing against. Would be class if swansea become better now rodgers has left plus the bonus of all that money for allen.

I stupidly put agger in my fantasy team so am paying for that red card but still :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Think of him more as the guthrie replacement or rather the guthrie "upgrade"

So glad he came in ahead of Williamson. His mobility and calmness on the ball were top quality.

loved pards' reaction to the question about him having to fight to start every game.

scary moment when defoe cut in and hit the post but if he had gone clattering into him then he would have given away the penalty so he got lucky there. Well played big man, must have been really tough late on for him after such a long time out but he looked in good shape. And that header

Wasn't terrible. Played well in the majority but it was more of the same from him, poor positioning for the goal and weak offensively. We would get by fine with him there should we need to but if we want to improve then he needs to be replaced.

Im glad to see we switched to 4-3-3 anyway when it wasn't working in 442. Maybe this "hates playing on the left" isnt as bad as was made out.

was worried Ba seemed really down in the post match but then he brought out the smile at the end. Also Jonas loves an interview with his shirt off haha

That moment when anita was stripped off. Camera cuts to tiote and he gestures in a sort of "chill i got this" way

very nervous first touch but recovered well and a few nice moments before the end.

Never doubted the goal when Ben Arfa claimed the ball. He's a very confident guy and you could tell he wanted to be the man today. Demba's looked a bit dodgy on his last 2 pens.

That was a long hard slog and too many players didnt look fit. But two moments of quality won it. So much for hatem being "way behind the rest" physically. Best player on the pitch. Was just like last season in a way, in that we look slow and off the pace but dug in. As we get stronger we're guna be awesome at home. Disappointed with the marking for their goal. Don't know if it's Ben Arfa or Simpson is to blame but lennon was in miles of space. Shame shola got injured aswell because cisse was shattered 2nd half.

:love: :love: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

interesting that perch is third choice ahead of williamson or maybe it's just horses for courses and all that. HBA starting? Nice

Really hope Perch carries forward the form from last season.

Nothing. looked asleep
