Deserved goal but if we don't get the three points...

Fuck

Alan Smith's hair looks absolutely lush

I don't understand how Krul got "lucky" there.

Best has shown more than any other of our strikers this season tbh, deserves to start.

Barnetta, Pedro Leon, Romain Hamouma, Adam Johnson

Krul 8.5 Had no business making the save that deflected off Colo. Harps in goals today and we would be out. Simpson 5 Beaten too often by a tier 3 player. Embarrassing misread of a long ball that nearly cost us a goal Williamson 4 Hope all those idiots who wanted this guy to start over Saylor get it through their thick skulls now. Lost the key header that cost us a goal. Colo 8 always good in possession and read the ball well to cut out passes and crosses on occasion. Raylor 7 Free kick master, pity we can't just sub him on and off to take them. Saylor 7.5 Defensively so much stronger when he came on. Stronger in the air than Willo despite being significantly shorter Lovenkrands 3 Go away. Missed a sitter, horrible positioning while playing striker. Tosser Gosling 4.5 Hugely disappointing and was inaccurate with his passing today. I thought he might be ok to fill Barton's boots, not anymore. Cabaye 8 I though he was really good today Marveaux 6.5 Looks rusty, will take a month or so to hit his straps. Vuckic 7 Good, I wish he started. Sameobi 8 Goal!!! Ba 5.5 Crap again tonight bar a good cross for Best. Best 7 Had a goal wrongly disallowed and did cause problems, but there were moments of shiteness that ruined goalscoring opportunities

Only a week until this is all over...

Really promising keeper they have in Szczęsny.

Romain Hamouma from Caen?

His refusal to play for Sochaux is pretty toolish, even though we benefit from it

Roux is better and more suited to our needs than this tool anyway

And so is Hoarau...

Nolan Roux would be sick. Hourau is too similar to Ba, Ameobi etc

This is what I don't get. Everyone on here is fawning over him, but the French media and their supporters go on about how incredibly s*** he was last season. Was there a reason for his poor performance? Alot of that negativity is more disappointment at not living up to the hype than him actually performing that poorly. He was never a liability last season in the same way Raylor would be if he played there, but he never adjusted to a different style of football and was not good enough in possession for a team like Lyon

Jeremain lens would be a good replacement

Should be an interesting game I can see some fringe players getting a run. Harper Perch Williamson Colo Ferguson Gosling Smith Vuckic Lovenkrands Ba Best Marveaux and Sameobi will ideally get some time as well.

We have a good run of games to start off but it gets very difficult in November i think

It surprises me that noone on this forum has questioned why his value has dropped by half in the last two years.

Its got to be Steve Kean

Looks better in a suit than Chris Hughton, end of story.

How good was the Cabbage Patch Kid last night!

Thought he took control of the situation after the handball that should have been quite well. Saved Barton from smashing Howard Webb in the face or something like that lol

Geti INNNNNNNNNNN Krul 8 Raylor 7.5 Saylor 7.5 Colo 7.5 Simmo 7 Jonas 6.5 Cabaye 7.5 Tiote 7 Barton 7 Obertan 5.5 Ameobi 7

Oh, clearly - he hasn't even changed his twitter name to @dannysimpson5 yet either. That is probably why he rejected the contract, He is wearing a different number in Danny Boy
