Duff's not strong enough to play in the centre of the park and hasn't proved that he can keep a hold of the ball consistantly. Apart from his corners Geremi had a good game against Pompey. First rule of managment, don't fix it if..............? Should we be hell bent on playing someone instead of Geremi then Emre (should he be fit) would be the prime candidate. The formation was how it should be changed and not how we should start, as it said int he text. Geremi will start yes, but he ran out of steam early on yesterday and he was our worst player v pompey.. Thought Geremi was very good actually besides his corners. Won lots of challenges and passed the ball around well, far from our worst player yesterday.

Going for a win but we'll be made to work for it, 2-1.

Not a bad result for Watford tbf. Really hope they go back up.

James was jammy, rather than bad miss. Owen did well to react the way he did imo.

Worked hard, but his decision-making at crucial times let him down. He should have pulled it back at that instant where James saved at his near post, granted. Nonetheless played well I thought.

Martins was great again today. Really put himself about.

Pleased with both the result and the performance, well played lads.

How? It's sprung off his foot and hit him on the hand, never a penalty unless you're Rob Styles.

What? Looks great on the ball as always and has made a couple of decent tackles but his long balls have been shocking.

I think we've looked ok. Would be happy if we carried on like this and got a point.

HOWAY THE LADS!

No Diarra for Pompey at least.

I agree with you somewhat but Zog could be a class player imo and it would be in our best interest to hold onto him. By not playing the lad it seems we're just pushing him further out the door in my eyes. KK might have something in my sleeve though, I dunno.

Maybe stating the obvious here but he has no role whilst we have a 433 formation. Why's Duff on the bench instead of him then when they both play in the same position? Duff is more hard working and has played in a 433 formation before...? Maybe i dunno. Zog is an out and out winger. Zog's put in some solid CM performances for us this season though, Duff hasn't. And if you don't want him in the middle, bring him on for a striker and play him on a flank. Granted you could do the same with Duff but Zog's pace, delivery and ability to beat a man is just so much better than Duff atm.

Nothing about it on .co.uk

A bit gutted by that tbh. Was convinced he'd play some role today.

Zog not even on the bench? No Diarra for Pompey either.

If he carries on the way he is, what's there to lose?

Micah Richards. Steam rolls Taylor in every possible way. Need to be comparing Richards with the top stars. One thing Richards has had is Dunne & Distin next to him, has certainly had an impact for sure. Massive massive talent, think Taylor should be compared with the other lad they've got who was class in the u21s. Onohua is it? f*** knows I can't spell his name! Yeah that's a decent shout. Did well against Anelka at the weekend.

Micah Richards.

Elano.

Arsenal - for the most part can't stand their fans. Fickle as anything and arrogant beyond belief. Hate Wenger and his ridiculous sense of bias and some of their players for being dirty and downright unsporting. In order would probably go.. 1 - Arsenal 2 - Man Utd 3 - Chelsea 4 - Spurs 5 - Liverpool
