Scored a gorgeous goal against Birmingham under Robson at St Andrew's, let it run across his body and belted it in off the post from 25 yards. I was there for that one. Belter

I was thinking more because Jonas is suspended and we don't have another winger in the squad who is as defensively disciplined as he is so we are going to have to play differently anyway. Btw, even though he was quiet i thought Ben Arfa looked a yard quicker when running at speed than he has done in other games so far. So good news

Chelsea play 4-3-3 anyway so wouldnt be the worst idea to match them up and play cabaye tiote and guthrie in the centre and obertan and benarfa off ba

Fair enough. Just saying we'll need to watch him because he was excellent at St.James' last year

Nice to have a confident alternative to Shola for pens. He was the calmest man in the stadium today, seemed an eternity for the pen to be taken

Sturridge tore Enrique apart on occasions last season when bolton came to town so not looking forward to Sturridge vs Taylor

That interview on the skysports site by ferguson is a disgrace. Completely belittles our team and also says things like "i dunno if the kid will ever get another game, it's not for me to decide" about the linesman. Utterly pathetic

Fans sounded class on the Tv so well played

watching the game on "low quality" tv, it's very hard to distinguish who is who between him and cabaye at times. We just need a Tiote clone aswell and then were sorted

Still not sure why lovenkrands on the wing instead of santon when we were right up against it but he knows better than me and it worked in the end but when lovenkrands lost the ball in the lead up to the goal that wasn't i was ready to explode

"well played danny guthrie!" "Go on Demba go on!!" haha was quality

My dad came in to watch the last 15 mins with me (he never would normally) and was loving our last ditch defending and was cheering us on haha. I could barely watch.

Think you were harsh on obertan btw man. Even though his final ball is shit he was causing them all sorts of problems when he ran at evra. Only got taken off because of an injury apparently. Would have been useful in the 2nd half for relieving some of the pressure

Yeah same, although was concerned he would go in with a mistimed tackle and get sent off later but in the end it was Jonas who did that. The amount of players we had on bookings i felt it was inevitable someone would get sent off but it was still silly from Jonas

Just need Tiote and best back for chelsea and we'll dick the bastards as they dont have an once of the fighting spirit we do! Jonas shouldnt be too bad of a miss because he looks like he is running on empty the last few games and probs need a rest anyways

Obertan was class 1st half but was struggling with an injury almost immediately. Hope it doesn't mean he is out for next week because his pace makes a difference to us.

Never a pen but his little burst of pace made it happen

OMG no idea how we hung on. GREAT EFFORT LADS!!!! why lovenkrands was brought on instead of santon when we were backs to the walls ill never know. Nearly cost us at the end when he should have just put it out and they had the offside goal

Obertan is on it today!!!!! and danny guthrie has been immense at winning the ball back. Well played lads. Ben arfa is too quiet. He needs to be getting it in those holes and trying to feed demba like he was early on

To shag to an old cow? Won't go down well with his misses if he's caught sticking it up a pensioner again. Yeah she will leave him like she did after all the others he's been with

Cynical eh? Lack of sleep so be nice want to get some sleep but can't miss this game

Do you mean clinical in attack? Yes haha sorry

Or he really was carrying a knock and has to go off early because the gamble didnt work.
