You mean like he did against Spurs with no pre-season training? I just mean it's different now as he is returning from a pretty bad hamstring injury.

Think Pardew will ease him back in. I'd be very surprised if he is playing at the same level he had been earlier in the season straight away.

Mapou- £6.7m Debuchy-£5m Sissoko-£1.8m Gouffran-£2m? Haiidara- £2m? Total= £17.5m? Skysports Total= £22.5m

didn't that site value Simpson at like £5m or something

His age and the way he is developing so well here is why we should reject all offers for along time as his value is going to increase every year. Then if someone wants to pay a huge fee to take him "home" they can do when he is older.

Jesus Christ. Santon got done a few times yesterday and he is probably the quickest player in our squad. It can happen.

Going to be like when Enrique got his first goal

Yeah we're not suddenly going to win every single game.

Ashley must be torn up today as he is a Chelsea fan according to Llambias.

draw if we can keep things tight at the back and not leave gaps for lennon and bale behind santon and debuchy.

Brief cameo but just wanted to say you can tell his body is back to 100% now. Really has that acceleration back which is what is making him a very dangerous player for us when he can get on the ball in the final third.

Perfect role for him. Can pick a pass and dictate play well but as we all know also has a mean streak and loves a tackle. Obviously been told to shoot on sight today

any chance of getting done on video evidence? Hate seeing people sent off for something so petty but normally they would and Webb obviously missed it.

Ignoring Mapou for a second we have missed this guy loads. He is a massive improvement on Williamson.

Has so much pace as well. Love it.

Yeah, he seems like one of those players. I know everyone keeps saying Yaya but seriously Yaya goes on those sort of runs all the time and then needs a moment to gather his breath and go again. Was worried Pards was going to take him off too early but thankfully he didn't.

Feel good factor is in mother fucking overdrive now.

Krul - 10 Debuchy-10 Taylor-10 Colo-10 Santon-10 Jonas-10 Perchy-10 YoCabs-10 Gouffran-10 Sissoko-10 Cisse-10

Superb on his home debut. Wasn't fazed by the the occasion at all and gave us exactly what we needed and that's pace on the break.

Massive performance. His all round game is so much better, like a different player to earlier in the season. Dat control turn and through ball to Gouffran

Leaving Pace on for the counter won us that match. Bringing on Marv was a good decison aswell. Having Cisse, Gouffran and Sissoko for the counter is so much better than having Shola. You won back a little piece of my heart today Pards but it's what we should have been doing all along. What a game.

STUNNING HOME DEBUT So fucking happy right now.
