Would like to see this. Except maybe Vuckic or Sammy in for Gosling. Then maybe Gosling in for Abeid and give Abeid a run out from the bench

Looked like he just mistimed trying to nick the ball away and caught his knee. Didn't think there was any "stamping" tbf

god i hope roy takes 3 points off them. Would piss them off soooo much

There was one burst, which probably wont make the highlights because he got tackled. But he had passed the ball back the first few times it was played into him, but then about the third time he let it run and span in behind leaving a player for dead and then took it round another two before running into one of the centre backs. That little moment was just a glimpse of something which is so rare in players and shows what a real asset we have if we can harness his qualities

ronaldo's just done a robert back heel goal although not as good ofcourse

nice goal from ronaldo makes it look too easy. Although the defending was poor

What a save at the end! Well in norwich

COME ON NORWICH!

warrior!

the people saying he was "crap" seem to be expecting messi like performances. There's a reason he is playing for us and not a champions league team and he's been out for 12 months! starting to really erk me now how knee-jerk people are.

Couple of really nice bursts mixed in with a few crazy unnecessary back heels but a better performance. I think people will need to get used to his style of player where he always looks to create something and not over criticise when it doesn't always come off. Doesn't look as physically strong as before. When he gets the ball now i get the feeling he's guna get pushed off it with a strong breeze.

Phew, thank god for that. One of those games you can easily lose/draw but just like champions do we dig out a result even when we aren't at our best

shit half, knew it was guna happen.

has he ever scored a hat trick? genuine question as cannot be bothered to google

I doubt liverpool are even close to paying up the £35mil yet so (if its true, which is highly doubtful) they probs just sounded out some deal where we have Carroll back but they don't pay the rest of the money they owe us

Spoke very well in that radio interview once again and it's good that he does them regularly as we learn new things about him, the players and how the club is run behind the scenes. Enjoyed listening to it.

Obertan was on the non-starting team though otherwise.... Maybe Marv's guna start aswell ........why the hell does smith still get to train with the first team?

Dunno if its been mentioned but i did bib watch from the training pics and ben arfa and santon were on the same team as tiote taylor ba jonas etc and simpson and best were on the other team. Never read too much into that though as it will probs be an unchanged team

Wore the black ones against blackburn #moreofastalker

wouldn't go as far back as 10 years but yeah a few of us said at the time we were relegated that it could do a lot of good in terms of clearing out the over-paid crap and building a new team, which may have seemed like desperately looking for a silver lining but provided we went straight back up like we did then yeah it was the best thing to happen to us at that time the last 2 and abit seasons have been polar opposite to the 4 or 5 that preceeded them from the souness era onwards

Really like the way leon chests down long balls and brings others into play. Think its one of the best parts of his game and has helped us keep possession well

Wigan are shocking at the back but not the worst going forward. I expect a few goals but i think we will out score them. 3:1 to us atleast

Can't wait for the derby to come round again

fair play for the fans around him for not just sitting in silence letting them do it

great timing to release this aswell while we are all feeling very positive about the team and what we can achieve. As much as i was a little annoyed about all the player sales and lack off a striker brought in i have to say that our transfer policy has actually worked out brilliantly for us for awhile now and am so happy we are not the ones giving people like john o'shea 5 year deals and are going for young players instead.
